COSTS INCREASING Although the Nen-t-Review ban not ySl been forced into a general circulation price increase, we are preparing to make a minor adjustment affecting paid-in-advance subscriptions handled by carriers. We hi&e at present a paid-in-advance rate of $10 per year. The regular career rate is $i per, month. After Jan. 1 there will be no discount for paid-in-advance subscriptions. Because we are forced to pav our Little MenSlant carriers for each . paper delivered,' the lower . Eearjy rate works to our fi nancial disadvantage. ' We do not know how long we can continue our pres ent subscription rate. The American Newspaper Publish ers association reports price increases are general all over the United States. Rates for the most part advanced from 20 to 33 13 percent during the period from April to November. o to Miist of the newspapers increasing subscription rpjes, the ANPA reports, are those with smaller circulation, but the list also includes some metropolitans. Siany of the big newspapers have raised the single copy price of their Sunday editions. Sice 1!M5, the number of , newspapers selling for two, three and four cpnts perconv at the news stands has dropped from 702 to 2!)0, the ANPA reports. Big Business And High Cos 0 O It seems peculiar to the uninitiated that the newspaper Industry enjoying the greatest volume of advertisine and readership in its history is, iiiui mmy riue riigner man ever neiore except in wartime, when paper and manpower shortages, coupled with high costs, usually eliminated many smaller publications. , Re cent months have seen the end of many of the Qinrr.v!s oldest newspapers. Some of these were big metropolitan papers. . We read that here in Oregon the newspaper industry leads all other irtfusfries in hourly wage rate paid Its fti ployes. This docs not necessarily reflect a vigorous finan cial Condition. When compared with the current high newspaper mortality rale, it indicates rather that .organ ized labor in the printing and publishing industry is de stroying jobs because of excessive demands. With wages rising steadily, the. price of news print boosted, higher costs on all materials and services, te average newspaper today is hard-pressed to make bolh ends meet and still keep its services priced within the bud gets of advertisers and readers. o FAMILYTRADITION MAINTAINED .

About all we proVi-d is that at the present stage of our military pre parednpffj we can't stop them. If communists are human (which hasn't yet been proved) they must be feeling pretty chesty about this time. When bruisers like Stalin and Mao Tze Tung get to feeling chesty, there can be no telling what they'll do in the way of throwing their weight around. We'll just have to wait and see.
