we’re late, m moved
It is hoped that the read
ers of the News will bear
with our being late this week
but the move to our new head
quarters took more time (and
energy) than had been antic
ipated.
The Ne^s building is lo
cated across the street from
the drug store and will serve
as the newspaper office, the
radio station studio and as
living quarters for the Raver
family.
The new sign over the
front of the building was
painted by Sam Pratt and Ray
Green.
