10c a Copy, $3.00 a Year ~- Press Run 2,550

@ WE'VE BEEN ACCUSED OF IT BEFORE so we thought we'd admit there are times when

we print the Herald by candlelight. Pressman John Chapman completed a 2950 press run

this morning using two wax candles to light up our basement plont.

Reason for the

blackout was a temporary cut-off in our 110-volt service while B.C. Hydro men installed a new transformer at the corner of Kalfum and Lazelle. Three-phase service kept lino-

types and presses running but proofreaders took an hour off.
