Diggers' Page

Sorry we couldn't run your page last issue, digs, but we ran out of pix. Evidently this started something, for we have received some really fine material from several diggers, and this will keep us going; for a few issues. But please keep it coming in if you want the page to continue.

This month our contributors are Rob Creighton, Mrs W. G. Everett (Richmond) and Charlie Haines (who came to light with Cassino-pix).
