A Message From Directors of
Lögberg-Heimskringlo
A year ago the fortunes of Logberg Heimskringla were
at a low ebb and it appeared for a time that increased costs
and declining revenue would force the newspaper out of
existence.
The price of newsprint, increased postage and higher
printing costs all indicated a serious deficit position for the
>ear 1969. As a matter of record, mention should be made
that recurring deficits in previous years diminished the
small capital reserve account to the point where suspension
of publication seemed to be logical from a business point
of view.
The Directors gave these matters serious thought and
consideration and they came to the conclusion that a defeat-
ist attitude is not a characteristic of the Icelandic people.
During the many years that these newspapers have been
in existence they have served a most useful purpose as a me-
dium of disseminating news and information of interest to
people of Icelandic origin, be they resident in Manitoba, Brit-
ish Columbia, U.S.A. or elsewhere. To the extent that news-
papers mold public opinion, they have been instrumental
in developing a deep and lasting appreciation of our Ice-
landic culture and tradition.
We who dwell in this Western Hemisphere are anxious
to preserve our beautiful language and in so doing avail
ourselves of the treasures to be found in Icelandic literature.
Logberg-Heimskringla serves as a forum for the discussion
oí local and national problems as well as keeping us in-
formed of events of interest in Iceland and thus developing
a bond of friendship and understanding with our homeland.
Several articles emphasising these facts appeared in
Logberg-Heimskringla in the spring and summer months of
1969 and a financial appeal went forth to the subscribers
and friends of the newspaper. The response to our appeal
was most gratifying, and for the first time in many years
we were able to present a balanced budget at the close of
the fiscal year. Our financial position in 1970 remains
unchanged insofar as estimated revenue and fixed expenses
are concerned and we must again depend on your generosity
and goodwill in subscribing to the Logberg-Heimskringla
Support Fund.
There appears in this issue a list of those persons who
have donated monies in aid of this important cause. The
Directors and management wish at this time to express
sincere thanks for the splendid initial response to our appeal.
We trust that during the remaining ten months of this
year the campaign will gain impetus and result in a wide
and active participation.
Let us all join hands together and make the 1970
financial appeal an outstanding success.
K. W. Johannson.
