Xmas Appeal
YES, IT’S THAT time of year again when every relative and every good cause seems to be laying claim on your generosity. So we decided Socialist Outlook should not be left out — and here is our heart-rending Xmas Appeal for Socialists in Need.
Our picture editor has advised against any traumatic shots of our lean, hollow-eyed and hungry editorial team — let alone our production editor, who has to go for painful surgery soon (no violins, please!). But you wouldn’t want the socialist cause to be starved of resources over Christmas, now would you? And if you saw us in a pub, and it was your round, you’d probably buy us a drink. We’d do the same for you, too, if we were a little better off.
So please put us on your Christmas list, send a present to help us develop and expand the paper in 1999. We’ll do the rest, working over the holiday to prepare our next Issue, for publication in the first week of January. Then, while you watch all those old Xmas movies, you can sit back and enjoy that warm glow of having contributed to a worthy cause!
