Seaforth News Suspends Publication The Seaforth News, in a front page announcement in its "last week's issue, said the paper was suspending publication. The statement in part said: "This is the final issue ' of the Seaforth News. In future the facilities of the plant will be devoted entirely to commercial printing. "The modern trend is to- wards specialization, and we ° are taking a step in that direc- tion," "Production costs of an up•to- date newspaper have increased greatly in recent years. An ex- ample noted is that two large Huron County newspapers, each with subscription rates of $4.00 a year, are presently abandoning "Tetter press printing and are experimenting with photogra- phic production, in an effort to reduce costs." The statement went on to express apprecia- tion to subscribers and adver- tisers and correspondents. The News was established in the late seventies as the Sea- forth Sun, and originally ' was located in a building on Main Street where the present post office stands. For a numberuof years it was located in the Case block, until 1932 when the Regent Theatre occupied the block. At that time the -pres- ent building was erected. Shortly after its founding • and for many, years after, the pub- lisher and editor was the late F. G. Neelin. For nearly-- fifty earlyfifty years the paper has been published by Snowdon Bros.
