Running a Newspaper

The Caledonian-Record has rcceiv-
ed an anonymous letter from an
iratc subscriber complaining that this
paper is carrying too much advertis-
ing and too little news. The sub
scribcr forgets that through the
holiday season every paper and mag
azine. is crowded to the limit OF it's
space. with Christmas advertising
And the CalcdonianRccord is no ex-
ception. The present management
took over this property after it had
been run at loss for many months
because, forsooth, there was too
much reading matter and too little
advertising. The only way a news
paper plant can pay it's bills is from
the receipts of its advertising col
umns, and up to date the publisher
has been able to meet his bills
promptly because of the generous
support of the merchants of north
eastern Vermont. 1t would be easy
to, fill UP a page every day with
"boiler plate" but this would be,
in our Judgment, waste of white
paper at time when the govern
ment is urging all papers to conserve
on news print. The Caledonian-
Record is not a charitable institution
but we are trying to run it as a bust
ness proposition and we are inclined
to think by the steady increase Of
the subscriptions amounting to over
SOS in the past four days that we
are meeting pretty well the desires
of the people of this section.
We propose to print the news
when it is news and all that our
readers will care to read. For in
stance we published two columns and
half on the Mcleod mill fire when
it was news. We published four
columns on the Beck-Heywood au-
tomobile case when it was news.
When any news story breaks that
is worth space we will cover it in
such detail as we consider our read
ers will be interested We do not
propose to fill the columns of our
paper with "boiler" plate or unin-
teresting matter just for the sake of
filing space and using up white
paper.
