EDITORIAL
We’re
Grateful
It is Fitting that we celebrate Easter and our sixth
anniversary in the same issue. At Easter we celebrate the
resurrection of Christ and the Fact that he lives. At The
News-Review, we celebrate the Fact that we have
survived yet another year.
Like each year since The News-Review was Founded
in March of 1971, this past year has been difficult. Yet
there has been progress. For the First time we were able
to see that all active staff members received some
Financial reward for their labor. The pay still does not
be<iin to match the zorl. nerfoek ed, bill it is mere than
we’ve ever able to do in the past.
We moved our office upstairs. This gave us more room
and a more suitable place to receive our readers and
business associates.
We increased our news pages. We are now averaging
eight pages and running color in almost every issue, In
the past we were able to do this only on Special
occasions. We are grateful to our typesetter, L.D.
Waters, and our printer, Roy Chalker, tor their
cooperation.
Two new faces were added to our office stall in the
person of Mrs. Marv Gordon and Mrs. Catherine Bright.
Mrs. Gordon worked in bookkeeping and circulation
while Mrs. Bright has handled the secretarial work.
We are particularly grateful for the dedicated work
and sacrifice of Frank Bowman and Al Irby in their
respective responsibilities as General Manager and News
Editor. They had to assume major roles of leadership on
the newspaper staff for the first time, and they handled
their new duties remarkably well.
We are indebted to you, our readers, advertisers, and
stockholders for your continued support. We have
always found your support and encouragement our
primary source of inspiration. Serving you is our only
reason for being.
Christ’ resurrection signified victory over death and
gave each of us hope for eternal life. JL
No news paper will last Forever, but we are grateful
that God has seen fit for us to be here this long, and we
trust that we will fulfill our responsibility to this
community and that we will be worthy of the like He
has given us. Happy Easter!
