NOV 7. 1963 r It Was A Struggle But We Made It! Ttol*, the first i**ue of the Country Editor, like so many new- kom InfftiitN, cante k t o the world w ith a struggle. Thus it is not all that we planned it to be, but h p ho|>e our first effort will m e e t with general approval In scheduling' o a r flrat I nmm .% w e overlooked the fact that the oteethm returns wrniM be ex p e c ts, by our subscribers in most of our newspapers. In Rome former year*, this nteant merely delay ing prtaM lm e for three hour*, but ttsis j'eur the polls cloned at nine adding three hours. The disap|>earance of our comporting r^ >|>| foreman added t«i tmr tria l s but tHe unklndest blow of all was that our editor, MJtzl llatterftley, on Tuesday received a telegram of her mother’s death on the west coast. Fortunately, we arc all \okl hands’ a t the game and hax* come fo expect the unexp<***ted, thus* the Country Editor w i l l reach you on schedule, *jf not with the news coverage we would have Uked. Thanks largely are due to Marianne Jacobs, super* editor; and her resourcefulness and determination. 'S o here we are. We hope you*II like us and will sympathise with our lal»or pains. We'll get better an we go along. — C. <;. Phelps Creams RJ Gridders 20-6 The K^jl.tlackcl var.-ily 20 - (i l a s t ?
