Running a weekly newspaper
She’s never missed a deadline
HOWARD CITY, Mich. (UPI)
— Minnie Farmer, who has
been in the business for more
than 40 years, has a successful
formula for running a weekly
newspaper.
It includes dipping into her
Social Security checks from
time to time to keep the
Howard City Record solvent.
Miss Farmer publishes the
Howard City weekly, which is
102 years old this month.
She was 83 years old Sept. 2
and despite the ravages of time
and a 14-hour-a-day schedule
will continue its operations “as
long as I can keep breathing
and despite rising costs.”
Besides dipping into her
Social Security checks, Miss
Farmer said she boosted
advertising prices from 50 to 70
cents an inch in her eight-page
issues.
Instead of sending out bills
she asked subscribers in the
newspaper to send in their
annual payments of $3 a year
to avoid duplication of stamp
costs.
“I had to do something about
those rising postal costs and it
is working out. Furthermore,
my advertisers are helping by
bringing in their own ads,” she
said.
She sells her ads by phone,
does her own page makeup,
answers the phone and operates
out of a weather-beaten old
house that has white wagon
wheels on the lawn and a
modest sign proclaiming it is
the home of the Howard City
Record.
The newspaper has a circula
tion of more than 1,100 in a city
the size of 1,000.
Miss Farmer went to work on
the old Record in 1929. She took
it over when it folded in 1952
AMA paper
objects
restrictions
CHICAGO (UPI) - No legal
restrictions should be placed on
the use of aborted human
fetuses in research work,
according to an editorial in the
current edition of the Journal of
the American Medical Associa
tion.
The editoral notes that
legislation dealing with such
research was before Congress
and that the National Institute
of Health also was formulating
regulations on the matter.
“Although we are unalterably
opposed to wanton desecration
as opposed to decent disposal of
human remains, including those
of fetuses, we urge that
physicians not be forced to
cease studying such remains in
a responsible and proper
manner,” the editorial said.
FREE BLANKETS
WASHINGTON, D.C. (UPI)
— Blankets as well as pillows
will be provided free to
passengers on request aboard
Amtrak long-haul trains begin
ning in September, it was
announced.
ISobhi and Jeri Sue Malek
are Assemblies of God ]
missionaries on their way to
North Africa. Sobhi was born i ■
in Egypt and Arabic is his ( I
mother tongue, but he also
speaks English and French fl * . fl
fluently. Jeri Sue, his wife, W fl
was born and brought up in ▼ 1
the United States and also flB- [
speaks French fluently. '
After 10 years as a LJkj JSf fl I;
pharmacist, Dr. Malek knew
definitely that the Lord flta« ;
wanted him in full-time fl
ministry and missionary fl • ! i
service. Following Bible school preparation, he and his
' | wife had the privilege of serving as teachers and resident [
' faculty for three years at Continental Bible College in
' i Brussels, Belgium. !

W. Thurman Fountain is pastor
and local residents urged her to
keep the publication going. She
has done so since.
Her paper is printed at the
Cedar Springs Clipper Print
Shop published by Mr. and Mrs.
Niels Anderson.
’‘She is just as sharp as she
ever was and missed no
deadlines. The only time she
didn’t appear personally was
when she broke an arm and hip
in a fall and sent her copy in
by messenger,” Anderson said.
Miss Farmer, who shifted to
writing left-handed several
years ago because of arthritis,
has made another concession to
age. She doesn’t sweep out her
combination house-office
anymore.
“My relatives come in and
take care of the house
cleaning,” she said.
Miss Farmer is “high” on
President Ford, who once
represented her district in
Congress.
“I was impressed that he has
the common touch —something
most of our Washington offi
cials have been lacking in
recent years,” Miss Farmer, a
Democrat, said.
