'AS LONG as newspapers are sold to the public for less than they cost to produce they will need a supplementary source of income.

'Of the various possible sources of income, the sale of their space to advertisers seems to us to be one of the least harmful...its receipt creates a relationship both remote and impersonal.'

In short, dear reader, our *supplementary income' is primarily your good self, with whom -our relationship remote nor impersonal.

But you did not do us very the first of the new financial quarter.

The total we received was £95.40 - barely half the weekly sum the fund drive needs if we are to make the total of 2,500 in the 13 weeks of this quarter.

Much of our hope for the future vested teacher militant Bernard Regan. Their loss is our gain.

Sponsorship so far means nearly E10 for the fund drive for every pound in weight thai he loses. Keep the sponsorship the fat, Bernard!
