1t is courtesy to your guests to see
that their names appear in the local news
paper. 1t is due to your friends and
yDurself that, when visiting, your name
should appear in the paper. Some one in

of visitors or of sickness in the home.
Remember that newspaper is made by
human hands and brains, and if the item
concerning yourself or your friends does
not appear it IS largely your fault. No
newspaper worker is omnipresent.
