Local Pictures Pictures that are of interest to the general reading public are wel comed by The Herald for publica tion. There is an acute shortage of metal from which the printing I plates for pictures are made, and I every consideration has to be taken to ascertain that the pictures are worthy of using this vital metal. The publishers of The Herald have found by experience that it is impractical for them to try and pay it he heavy cc^sts of having the printing plates made. A plan has been worked out whereby the publishers will pay a proportion ate part of the cost of each plate and the Customer pay the other part. This does not bring about a financial burden on either party. Single column plates will cost customers one dollar and two col umn plates two dollars. The plates are preserved and can be used | many times. . ^ Pictures of men in service are of vital Interest right now, and the publishers will welcome re ceiving them at ahy time; also pictures of brides, or brides-to-be. F*or best results a glossy print is the best. Tinted pictures do not make as good printing plates as do the gloss finished pictures, Making a printing plate from a picture does not harm the photo graph in any way. * HOSPITAL NEWS \ | ' . i h -M iss Jane Coward, of Sylva, op erative case, is in^iproving. _ Dal ton Rogers, of Cashiers, is better following an operation.
