There is increasing emphasis on
the slogan the public's right to
know about the public's business.
Publication of your annual finan-

quired by law. is in line with this
sentiment. The service thereby
rendered far outweighed the small
amount involved"
With each letter to local offici-
ais went three copies of the report

Auditor of State by March 81.

not mere quid pro quo, the

You will not find Christmas
in the jostling crowd, the

not find 1t on lonely lake or

bring it close.
You will not find it all in
books. on radio or television

others found or lost it.
You will find much of
Christmas in the Salvation

dollar.
You will find more in the
