ANNOUNCEMENT
Beginning with the May issue, PR will appear as a bi–
monthly. The reason for this change is economic. Though
our circulation has doubled since 1947, it has nevertheless
proven far from sufficient to carry the financial burdens of
monthly publication. As soon as conditions permit, we hope
to publish PR as a monthly .again.
Though PR will now appear six instead of twelve times a
year, the number of pages per issue will be increased to make
up for the change in frequency. Present subscribers will
receive the same number of bimonthly issues that they would
have received of the monthly. The new subscription rate is
$3.00 per year and $5.00 for two years. The price of a single
copy will remain 60¢.
