NOTICE TO CONTRIBUTORS With increasing regularity, articles are arriving in the Lantern mailbox untyped on or very close to our lay- out date. We appreciate the effort which has gone into these articles, and we are anxious to print them. However, we cannot possibly type and lay out the Lantern in one evening. As a result, some articles are being published a month late or not at all. Articles submitted before our planâ€" ning meeting can be typed by our volunteers. Articles received after that date must be typed in 3% inch columns if they are to appear in the next issue. Type must be clear and dark to ensure proper reproâ€" duction. Dates for planning and lay- out appear on the Lantern Community Calendar every month. Your cooperation will simplify the work of our volunteers and ensure the timely publication of your article.
