I’m operating on a just in time basis at the moment so I had to take some shortcuts with this post. I didn’t have time for a good review of the scanned images so I have my fingers crossed there are no major errors. I also only put the page one stories and regular features in the table of contents below. I hope it doesn’t cause anyone to miss important news. Even though it is something of a rush job I think there is some good stuff in this post – Homer.
