COMPLIMENT

Congratulations on publishing the newspaper Jan. 8 under the adverse conditions that existed because of the snowstorm.

I must comment, also, that I preferred the layout and print size of the paper. It was much easier to read and seemed to be less ``cluttered.'' Wish you could continue to use the same format.
