THE THEOCRAT (Continued from Page 1) letters, and other items of in terest. The Theocrat was edit ed by W. G. Voliva and asso ciate editors until Overseer Voliva’s departure, October 11th, 1942. Overseer Mintern then assumed the editorship and asked Carl Huth to look aftet compiling the material for each issue which he has done from October, 1942, to date. The Theocrat has been dis tributed free in the Zion area, as well as in Winthrop Harbor, Wadsworth, both local and rural, Russell, Dunes, Beach, and all the “rural delivery” be tween highway route 41—Sko kie on the west and Lake Michi gan on the east, north from Beach Road to the Wisconsin State line. Most of this has been by U. S. Mail except the east ern pai*t of the City of Zion, where delivery has been made by very competent boys and girls. We wish to take this oppor tunity to thank our many ad vertisers, who with the sub scribers enabled us to increase The Theocrat first from a four (4) page paper to an eight (8) page, and of late years to a twelve (12) page weekly pa per, which has not only been interesting 'reading, but has been a spiritual blessing to many of its readers. The management of the ZION-BENTON NEWS, Mr. A. L. Bicket, editor and publisher, trusts that the Zion-Benton area people will continue to cooperate and “pull” for their hometown paper even more than they have in the past, and Mr. Bicket states, “that in the new paper — ZION-BENTON NEWS — he and his associates will endeavor to give their sub scribers and advertisers a bet ter paper in many respects.” Push your Hometown — Ad vertisers, Stores and Paper!

The ZION-BENTON NEWS will take over the present subscrip tions of both the COMMUNITY NEWS and THE THEOCRAT. Under the new arrangement it is hoped that a better paper may be published, and Mr. Bicket announced that the ZION-BENTON NEWS will be increased in size, in an effort to provide a wider reader’s interest. Carl Huth, present as sociate editor of THE THEO CRAT, will be a staff member of the new publication and the ZION-BENTON NEWS will carry many of the present fea tures of THE THEOCRAT, in cluding the Christian Catholic Church page, News from Ari zona, News from Southern Cali fornia, Missionary Letters, etc. Many new features will be add ed also.
