The publishers of The Ginton Herald have had
hope in the last four years that it would not have to
make an increase in the subscription rates of their paper.
Not since in the early forties have the publishers shown
an increase in the rates. However, the hope that news-
print and other costs of producing a newspaper would
level off and edge downward has been shattered in recent
months to the point that the publishers find costs of
publishing the newspaper have increased beyond the
ability of the advertising revenue to absorb the increase.
Therefore we find it necessary to increase the sub-
scription rate of The Canton Herald and Wills Point
Chronicle to $2.50 per year each, or for both papers to
one address for $3.75.
This increase will become effective on February 15,
1951. Any subscription, or extension of present sub-
scription, will be accepted until that time at the old rates.

Chaney of Canton.
He worked with the state high- I
way department in Van Zandt j
county before moving to Dallas
in 1942 to work with the Fire
Department. He was a member
of Woodmen of the World Camp
No. 365 of Canton.
Active pallbearers were mem-
bers of the fire department, Capt.
Morin, John Hancock, Bill Old-
ham, Joe Hown, Smith Patrick
and Johnny Harris.
Honorary pallbearers were the
entire Dallas Fire Department
and members of the W.O.W.
Mr. Chaney was a true Chris-
tian, one who was loyal to his
church and was a devoted hus-
band and father. He was a man
who would not belittle himself
by talking about others, never
said anything that would harm
anyone. He would go out of his
way to help anyone who was in
need of help and he conducted
himself in such a way that he
made many friends, which was
proved by the evidence of the
many beautiful flowers and the
many people attending the funeral.
