No More Free Papers Helps War Paper Rule
Under a wartime order the pulp and paper section bans free distribution of newspapers. Publishers must sell or subscribe, ending free copies to soldiers and all exchanges with other papers. The change ends years of giving free papers to service members, with only potential future allowances. The paper notes a local wedding, farm elevator meeting, and community notices amid the disruption.
