Instead of having to write a tiresome letter about what actually happened the best alternative is to send a copy of the paper specially designed for the use of friends, re- latives and former residents.

IS THE BOYCOTT OVER?

In a few days it will be possible to tell whether the boycott has ended. All the steps leading up to the decision by the Canton Government-together with official com muniques are included in this week's issue.
