Resuming publication after four months
leave* the press (as vrell as the editor)
has cooled until its editorial "stride” is
lumbering and stiff; but with a few raro
issues and challenges to whet the staff*s
appetite for controversial morsels* The
Be&oon will soon be book to par*
This begins the fourth year of publi
cation and it cannot be heralded without
personal thank-yous to those faithful ad
vertisers who have responded so well to
our services throughout the years. Also
on the thanks list are those out-of-town

premise of as aoeurate and ocsiplete cover
age of town and Bay news as is possible
