Barstow Printer and Desert News Pride in Randsburg
John C. Wray argues the Barstow Printer is the sole regional newspaper serving Bakersfield to Barstow, and urges Randsburg and Atolia residents to support it financially. He notes wartime strain, rising paper costs, and local pride, offering free space to keep the weekly paper active and connected to home towns. He recalls an obituary reprint spreading to several distant papers and calls for readers to maintain the local medium.
