Production Problems

June 1970

Readers of this issue will notice that the lines of the columns are not justified and that there are numerous typographical errors in the articles.

Since the beginning of THE PAPER the staff has been singularly plagued by production problems. All of our neighborhood volunteers have been wonderful, coming through with their assigned stories in time, but the problems have been with the paid professionals who have typed out copy on IBM selectric composers.

In the case of this issue, the typist could not deliever the copy on time, so we had to resort to neighborhood typists who generously gave of their time to type on a machine they were completely unfamiliar with in deadline circumstances that were very trying.

We hope before the next issue to find professional typists skilled on IBM selectric composers, so that hopefully we can begin concentrating more on our content and less on our production problems.

Anyone knowing of such a skilled person with the time to type our copy one week a month, please call one of the editors.
