Xmas gift for new | 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); 4-5 of 7; machine-segmented newspaper page; uncorrected Vision OCR.

WE ARE there - well, more or less. The lease on our new building is at the solicitors and this week we will be signing it. Now we must do everything we can to make sure that we get in there before January.

We have agreed the design of the offices. We have agreed on exactly what printing equipment we need. This week we tied up another bargain by ordering a new camera which is £1,000 less than its normal retail price. Now we must get the cash to order the shelving and partitioning and put a deposit on the camera.

You readers by your excellent response last month made sure that we get the most modern and up-to-date typesetting machine at f6,500 less than its market price. We are confident that you are going to make just as a response to getting the deposit for the camera and raising the cash for the work. Every readers' meeting this week work out how to raise cash.

Rush in the donations. Send in the bankers' orders. The most important Xmas present this year is for your Fund Drive. Please do just that.
