So now, at the new year, it's our turn to tell our :story. And here it is. Just why should a fancily spend a - :bout tow. Bents a week to get a sub- scription co a weekly newspaper? The :answers to this question constitute a ,document of what the weekly news- paper does in the community. Have you ever thought that four cents ,.a week means -just a little , .more than half a cent each day. It .is a very small amount The average „child wastes more than that every day. A special sale, advertising, 30 .cent items for 23 cents means a sav- 'ng of 7 cents, which pays for the paper for that week and leaves tliree additional cents profit. "To rent a book you pay more than .2 cents a day, but we have still to see a home in which a beak is not laid aside when the weekly newspaper;, which costs less than half a . cent . a ;da comes into' the house. . y, . Every member of the famtly;;,i'>.am ^8;years gJ,,,age up—children, ,parents and grandparents find something of great interest in the home paper. This can not be said truthfully of any other paper or periodical. • The weekly gaper costs less than any of the following: four cigarettes, 6 ouncea of beer, a package of gum, a bar of candy, a cigar, a cup of cof- fee,'one and a half pints of gasoline, one play oh a record machine, check- ing your hat, a mile ride' . in your car. And when you finish reading your newspaper, every. other member of the fancily still can use it, which can not be said of the other articles. The home newspaper is the most important ally, of the church, .the schoa,, civic organizations and go.- ci•nutental bodies. No agency renders so nitwit service. to.' the household at so small a ,cost. For these reasons, if you are not already on the mailing list. why not subscribe to your home newspaper.- Kincardine News, SPEECHLESS LUNCHEONS Speechless huicheons! What a balm and boon to ears bombarded by "We ,have with us today" and "That reminds me." A dream.? No. It did happen in New York the other day. Not only were the speakers speechless, but the guests almost so when Mayor La. Guardia, presiding at a huicheon to. Colonel Fulgencio Batista, Chief of the Constitutional Army of Cuba. turned to the guest of honor and smilingly said, "This program is going to be different, Colonel Ba,desra. You are not going to have to listen to 'any speeches." The distinguished' guest 'was as de- lighted as the others. • Such an occasion has revolutionary possibilities. Will other organizations follow suit? Of course, it is always a source of wonder how American audiences endure listening to count- less speeches at luncheons, dinners, and other public occasions. They not only stand it, but came back for more. Besides accepting invitations to; din- ners and other speech -making occa- sions o f ' all kinds of organizations they form innumerable luncheon clubs of their own where they hear more talks. • Probably not everyone will .yet speak up for speechless public oc- casions.
