From the moment a child first begins to enjoy the'
"funnies," the hometown newspaper is an impor-,
tant part of his life. But even more important is thie
opportunity it gives the young boy to find out whatf
it means to earn money for himself. The responsible
job of being a "paperboy" gives thousands of/
youngsters their first independence. An irreplace-
able source of information and enjoyment, yo'ur
hometown newspaper is even more—it is an integral
part of your community—a business employing
your townspeople, an organization interested inj the
welfare ol the community,
