The Corrigan Press manage-
ment takes this opportunity to
eay "thank yon” to the hundreds
of friends who have given us the
support that has enabled Us to
produce p fairly acceptable paper
here for the past year.
Just a year ago this week we
bought the paper from A.L. Straub
and tho we will never be satisfied
with any paper we print, we do
on the address label of his Press
and says, "Here boy. keep that
rag coinin' another year," or words
to that effect, it makes us feel
that maybe not all our efforts are
"wasted on the desert air."

There are times when everyone
feels as Lord Byron did:
"There is a pleasure in the path-
less woods;
There is a rapture cn the lonely
shore;
There is society, where none in-
trudes.
By th» deep sea, and music in its
roar;
I love not man the less, but Na-
ture more.”
