News From Our
Correspondents
(Let The Banner have short, newsy,
letters from your community each
week, even tho they contain but a few
items. Keep your community before
the public; all your neighbors are
interested in the local news of your
community. You can always obtain
some good items about your school.
Get your letters in to us in Monday’s
mail. This will assure their being
published. Remember that if one
neighbor in your immediate commu-
nity visits a next door neighbor—that
is not news. Don’t write it. If a vis-
itor is from another community to
yours, or from yours to another com-
munity, report that. Always sign
your name to your letters, it will not
be published.—The Editors.)
