We undertook to publish the Times during the year 1918. There were those who bid us that it could not be done. There were those who did not subscribe because they were afraid that "the paper would not last;" in other instances we were ibid that "Beaverton is too close to Portland ;" many other discour aging things were said. - But the year has passed and the paper still is here. It has grown rapidly in circulation and many complimentary and grati fying things have been said of it. Friends hive written from afar and local people have been generous in their praise.. How ever, words are cheap and while they are gratifynig, they do not pay paper bills.. We are going to ask for a concrete expression of the worth of this paper to the . community which it serves. . About 150 subscriptions ex pired January 1. A few 6f these have been renewed. We are tro- ing to ask the others to do so this month., If they do so we will be completely convinced that there is a work for us here in 1919 and we will proceed to .fulfill' '"that mission without further, ques tion, We do not worry over the ' question of whether the paper, can live or not. The publisher of The Times will not starve. But mere existence without a pur pose is worse than deathfar either individuals or newspapers. If the work we are doing is worth while, it is worth a dollar a year to earn family in the commun ity. That's what we ask you to tell us by your renewal. Is the ; service of this paper to this com munity worth the price to you? If it is, tell us about it. If you . cannot spare the dollar just now,' come in and tell us. It's your ap proval that we want most. So you who have had the pa per for the past year, will vou tell us whether our work has been worth while, and tell us be fore the first of next month?
