Been getting round town a bit
the past few days and it seems a
good many people would Uke to
see a new name on this publica
tion.
We have decided that such a
move would be a good one, con
sidering the fact that the paper is
under new ownership and new
management. Next step on the pro
gram is to pick out the name.
We could pick a title that would
suit us, and maybe suit our public.
However, -decision has been made
to give our readers a chance to ex
press views on the subject.
Give us a ring at Main 168. or
i rep a card to Box 204, or better
still, come into the Polaris office
nd give us your suggestions first
hand.
Many in ;nicies have come to us
r.s to our "policy.”
Newspaper policy is one thing
we did to bring with us when we
c me to Seward. Being new at the
tub of editing and managing a
newspaper, the word “policy” has
.. rather vague meaning to us as
concerns a newspaper.
Our earnest and sincere desire
i- tv> give the people of Seward
the best local newspaper we can
possibly put out. filled to the last
column if oossible with Seward
news- the news that Seward pco
i ip like to read.
Our readers may rest assured that
we are definitely FOR anything
thtil is beneficial to the town of
Seward, it - churches, its schools,
its hospitals and its people.
