The many figures below the name ..and address in the top. right corner have to some (Example: September 69-70-71-72-73-74-75-76) The new. method 'of mailing involves a 'stencil with the subscribers name, address and expiry date. The first figure next to the month is the year of expiry. When the subscriber renews his subscription, the first figure next to the month mentioned on the % stencil will be erased and the stencil will read: Z (September 70-71-72-73-74-75-76) and the subscriber is paid up to September 1970, and i; for every year the subscription is paid up the next # number is erased until 1976. At this stage a new 7 stencil will have to be made, however, this system # has saved us the work and cost of making a stencil - very time a 8 subscription is paid. bee 2 a HAR SE ron Two Break-ins In Public School R.H.
