••' ' i •\<!?•• \-'\'\iV ; V v V' • .'••'.• : \ ft\* \THE LOWVILLE LEADER\ IS NEW NAME OF THIS COUNTY . -Today J s edition, marks the fifty-seeond issue un- der the present management. Since the issue -of July 17, 1942, many steps have been taken in order to make this newspaper one of the outstanding in New York State. Proof .of this are the awards that, have h.een made to this paper during the past fifty-two weeks, one at Cornell University and another at the .\Hew York Press Association meeting in Syracuse last Jaimary. Streamlining being the order of the day this Newspaper has eliminated the use of column rule on the first page. The unbalanced style of makeup on page one is another innovation. Incidexitly, the size of the page makes. for the steady conservation of paper in line with the wai effort. (We have a very fine letter from the War Production Board in ap- preciation of our changes to help conserve news print).' Now comes • another change—this time in the title. The new name, THE liOWVILLE LEAHEB, more adequately describes the community this news- paper -primarily serves and the position this news- paper, enjoys not only in Lewis county, but also in New York state. On the average of once a week dur- ing, the .past year our mail was inadvertantly acL • dressed to Black River, N.Y. The old adage that nothing is so- permanent as change might well be -applied to the modem pro- gressive newspaper. Today The Lowville Leader gives its readers a completely balanced newspaper, with world wide news, comics, women's page, com- plete Lowville news coverage, loeal editorials and a modern -design. . *„ Uncle Ab says the command to eat less meat is ably abetted by the price per pound. In Montgomery county 5,000 families- have en- rolled in the victory garden program*—ten times, the number who planned gardens, last year. To prevent waste of poultry mash, fill hoppers ly two-thirds fall, and put lips or strips on.their «dges to prevent the. birds from, flipping mash out onto the floor. - on More than :1500 New York city boys and girls are now working on New York state farms along with thousands of local volunteers and imported Jainlai- cans, together with the regular hired hands and farm families. • To .maintain milk production on hot summer days, some, dairy men feed the cows all the hay they 5vill eat at the morning milking, as the cows will not graze enough, during the day to- provide, a good flow of milk.
