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); 5-6 of 6; machine-segmented newspaper page; uncorrected Vision OCR.

There will be no Red Weekly for the next two weeks (31 July and 7 August) as our staff will be on holiday. This means we need extra help from our readers to cover the normal running costs that don't take a holiday.

Last week we received £30 from two IMG comrades in Japan, £15 from two East London teachers, £14 from a lecturer in Newcastle, £5 from a Hull hospital worker and many smaller contributions bringing our July total to £248.53. This is only half the amount we need a month just to keep the paper going. But if everyone was as conscientious as the comrades in Japan we would be well on the way to overcoming our financial problems and expanding the paper.

We know it's the holiday season, and readers will be saving what little extra they can. But a little spared for the Red Weekly, the only paper with the programme to beat the Healey measures, will increase the possibility of more for all later. So give us a break. While the paper is away for two weeks use this opportunity to rush extra donations to Red Weekly, 182 Pentonville Road, London N.1.
