Historical September 1978 newspaper fundraising humor; the “adoptions” concern newspaper columns and pages.
Last spring The Paper offered our readers a chance to adopt a paragraph ($5), a column ($10), or a page ($25). Some of our lucky neighbors acted quickly (sent checks immediately) and this month we proudly announce:
Michael Herrmann (for Hamilton Community School) sponsors “Calendar of Events” and “Scout News.”
Dorothy Lloyd is responsible for the publication of “Briefs.”
This golden opportunity is still open. We have more columns, words and pages to be placed. Apply now. All our adoptees are guaranteed healthy, happy, and well-adjusted. Here are comments from our satisfied “new parents”:
Hamilton Community School wishes to adopt a set of twins for $20. We will take good care of our new family members. Let us know what the Adoption Board graciously awards us.
Michael Hermann
Dear Editor: I guess one more kid won’t hurt me. After all, I don’t have to housebreak it. Enclosed is $10.
Dorothy Lloyd
