Herald To Suspend Publication
Owing to impaired health
and resultant inability to carry
on the multiform duties of
publisher, manager, editor, re
porter, linotyipe operator, print
er and office boy without ade
quate assistance-which cannot
be profitably employed under
present restricted conditions
the publisher, et cetera, has de
cided to temporarily suspend
publication cf the Ilyder
Weekly Herald at the close of
the present month. The last is
sue of the present period of
publication will appear on De
cember 29.
It is perhaps needless to say
that this decision is deeply re
gretted but there appears no
alternative in view of condit
ions as they exist at present.
Lacking strength and energy
to carry on virtually alone, as
we have done during the great
er part of the past four years,
we have no choice but to take
a rest if we hope to escape for
a time a longer rest in the
realms of the blest.
How long the proposed sus
pension will endure cannot be
foretold under the circumstan
ces and will depend upon fu
ture developments.
As the suspension will be for
an indeterminate period, those
of our subscribers who are
paid beyond the close of the
year will be fully reimbursed
in the amount of their unex
pired subscription-' as scon as
the necessary check-up can be
completed. Those who owe us
are requested to kindly settle
their accounts by the close of
the year. Others holding
claims against the Herald are
requested to present them as
soon as convenient.
During the interval before
closing the job printing depart
ment will be continued in oper
ation for the convenience of
such customers as may desire
to replenish their stationery
supplies. It will be appreciated,
however, if orders are handed
in as soon as possible, as no
work will Ibe undertaken af
ter the close of December.
