Summary

The March 1983 Beaver Beacon explains that no February issue was published. The Civic Association and editors were changing the production process so the paper could be assembled at monthly Civic meetings, with a new deadline on the 25th of each month.

Evidence limits

This is the newspaper’s own production notice, not a missing-mail or OCR failure report.

Sources

  1. Explains that the Civic Association and editors skipped the February issue because the January issue had been mailed only two weeks earlier; beginning with the March cycle, production would be coordinated at monthly Civic meetings with a new article, advertisement, and announcement deadline on the 25th. This is the newspaper's own production notice, not a missing-mail or OCR failure report. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.
