Last week the Scera Board of Director entered Into an agreement with the Utah Valley Publishing Company to print and assist in editing the Voice of Sharon as a meekly paper. Besides carrying the local news as heretofore, the paper will have the Provo news of the Utah Valley News, a new weekly to be published at Provo. .Under the agreement, the responsibility of financing the Voice of Sharon will be made easier for the Scera organization. The Voice of Sharon, under this agreement, should also become a much more attractive advertising medium for merchants and others as the ads will appear in both the Voice of Sharon and the Utah Valley News at the rate charged for space in the Voice of Sharon. It ia the desire of the Scera Board to maintain 100 per cent coverage every family in our community a subscriber. The Voice of Sharon will continue to be independent in every respect and will be owned and edited by Sharons CoThe Asoperative Educational and Recreational Association sociation will have complete control of the editorial and news policy as it has had in the past, but will be relieved of much of the worry of publishing the paper and will he able also to give us a bigger paper as well as a weekly paper. The subscription price to the Voice of Sharon as a weekly Will be one dollar per year. All subscriptions .made between now and Christmas will be accepted for 50 cents per year. All members who are now subscribers will continue to receive th, paper until July 1, 1938. In our contract with the Utah Company it was necessary that we designate a definite date, and although this is a little earlier than the announcement appearing in the Voice of Sharon last September, we feel that subscribers will receive much more than was promised in number of papers besides in getting a bigger paper. With the increased editorial staff it Is hoped that we can maintain an even higher standard of community service. One of the main reasons for the Voice of Sharon is the promotion of all activities and institutions that are a betterment to the the cooperation of communities. This means that we must-hav- e the leaders of all such organizations If we accomplish this aim. In leaving the M. H. Graham Publishing Company we do so with regrets at leaving our fine friends at this printing plant. We feel that Mr. Howard Graham and his efficient staff of workers deserve much of the credit for the success of our venture in the newspaper field. The'r high grade work on the mechanics of this paper has received favorable attention of newspaper men all through the state where the paper was sent. Before entering into the agreement with the Utah Valley Publishing Company we have investigated the personnel of the Three of the stockholders and incorporators, Paul Company. K. Nielsen, Adalbert Bigler and A. V. Watkins, are residents of our own communities and the other three, E. A. Jacob, D. p. Wight and Ross Wight, are residents of Provo. We believe they are capable of printing for us a very fine paper and will greatly relieve the officers of the Association of much of the worry of financing and editing the paper. VICTOR C.
