Mr.. Cecil Newman, Editor,

Spokesman.
My dear Mr.. Newman:
The plan outlined by Mr.. John
M. Culver, President Mems Council,
in last weeks issue of the Recorder
was very interesting. If these pa
pers are to keep pace with the
progress of these communities you
and 1 must go out of our way to
get needed support.
It is true that of the money we
spend, a portion is allocated by the
merchants for advertising, but it
appears that this money is used
very largely to advertise in other
than Race papers. This is not as it
should be. If each of US when
making purchases would urge the
merchant to advertise in the Re-
corder and Spokesman it would go
a long ways towards the building
of larger and more successful pub
locations.
Mr.. Culver's letter is a challenge
to all civic minded citizens.
