Xmas draw | Socialist Action 1983

Uncorrected machine reading. This text was read by machine (Apple Vision OCR) from a scan of a newspaper page, and the page was cut into articles by machine, at the headlines found by their type size. Nothing has been corrected: expect misread words, text from a neighbouring article, and titles that are the machine reading of the headline, some of them only fragments. Quote from the scan, not from this page.
How this article was cut and titled: headline found by type size in the OCR geometry (split_tabloid.py); 1-1 of 7; machine-segmented newspaper page; uncorrected Vision OCR.

WITH this issue of Socialist Action, we launch our 1987 Xmas raffle. Last year, we raised £1000 which helped us maintain our fortnightly publication schedule. So we have decided to repeat the successful formula of 1986.

There is one major prize - - an Amstrad word processor. But the winner can choose the £399 cash equivalent. Tickets sell at 50p each or 3 for f1.

Buying a raffle ticket, or better, helping sell some, is an easy way to show your political support for our newspaper. The extra money that we hope to raise in this way is indispensible to our regular publication. Sales alone cannot meet our cost. It is only the generosity of our readers and the commitment of our supporters that keeps a paper like ours afloat.

So ask your Socialist Action seller for some raffle tickets. And if you can help sell some, please write to us at Box 50, London N1 2XP.
