Missouri Shamrock, 1943-1944, volume 11, number 1-8

Abstract

"This issue completes the 1943-1944 publication schedule of the Shamrock. The present depleted staff regrets to announce its decision not to accept national contracts for next year. This means, of course, that with the present future outlook we consider it impossible to continue publication. Therefore it is unwise to sign contracts and throw a diabolical task off on to the shoulders of the very few 4-F's and 17 year olds left. Someone on the Shamrock staff some three years ago signed contracts which are just expiring. This does not seem to us to be a good policy, and so we are leaving it for the future staff, whenever it is reorganized, to sign their own contracts. The Shamrock will begin publication again as soon as the "vets" return to form a new staff. May that day come soon! "--Page 5.
