EDITORIAL
The winter is past. This is summer and there is an abundance of seeds. The night of the sun’s zenith is drawing near and the autumn yields its fruits. May we reap some harvest from the autumn.
Many letters from friends have reached us but we are saddened at the smallness of the wings of this bird to carry them. Some of the letters we cannot read because the writing is so smudged. Friends, if you send an article to be carried by our bird, make sure the writing is clear and write only on one side of the paper. However, if you are only writing to the Editor it is alright to use two sides of the paper.
