SMALL ITEMS FOR FILLERS

LIKE THIS

We could certainly do with more poems, jokes, special cartoons and other small items which can fill up these odd spaces at the end of longer pieces. So to make the magazine more interesting to all, how about mak- ing small contributions like the above. Special hints and helps, addresses of cooperative businesses of various types, etc., will also be appreciated by others.
