PARTING REVIEW OF
PAST POLICY OF THE
HERALD IN ALL RESPECTS

As this will be the last issue of the
Herald under the editorial manage
mcnt of the Raymonds it NAV not
be out of place to review somewhat.
Realizing that the change means
permanency and that it is goodbye
for good this time. it is impossible
to keep down feelings akin to re-
morse at parting with a lifelong
friend. The Herald has been our
friend, stood by us thru thick and
thin and in turn we have tried to
return the compliment. 1t will soon
be thirty years since we assumed
ownership and management of the
paper. We have watched its growth
with pride and as rule it has not
been tickle, but always constant and
Of good cheer. This means the peo.
pie have been loyal year in and year
out. We have witnessed lean years
and again reasonably fat ones. Dur
ing the years we learned that If one
is true to principles the people in
turn VIII be true To the publishers
To win public confidence one must
be honest in convictions, and while
il is not necessary to be too EN-
phatic, it pays to let people know
where you stand and that you can
always be counted on the side Of
right. Therefore in saying goodbye
to tho Herald, 1t il with feelings Of
sadness, altho we know It msana
