Know Tour Newspaper Better Please Get Your News in Early There's a good reason for doing so, because then it's certain to get In the paper. If you were to wait until press day to turn in your news, lt might not get printed. Regardless of how much we might like to include your news, the load ot work may prevent doing so, if it doesn't arrive in plenty of time. Here's the Problem... We start the week Monday morning with very little news, or advertising, and therefore a light load of work. Tuesday the work load grows heav ier as news and advertising copy increases. Wed nesday Is still busier, much busier a good chance most weeks we have to work that night. Thursday morning is the final rush before press time. More and More Work, Less and Less Time You see how the load of work keeps growing through the week and the time for getting the work done grows less and less. Through all of - this, remember that we have only the same number of people to get the paper out, regard less of how heavy the load. Everyone works harder and harder and faster and faster as press time approaches to make sure the paper reach es you on time. We will appreciate your coop- eration in turning in your news early. . 100 I YEARS - OFSlRVtCI v - I'l?; W W HEFPNESt GAZETTE-TIMES GRANARY OF THE PACIFIC A new and Increasingly popular variety of white wheat called Gaines grows well In Oregon's five-county wheat belt.
