The editor and his staff are full y aware of the criticism levelled at your consolidated newspaper b y many peop le living in the bav area. \The new paper is too big. \ \The area news is scattered all over the lot , J can t find anything anymore. \ \We had a nice little paper before , now look at it , it isn ' t ours anymore. \ In a full page advertisement in the last issue of The Mo- riches T ribune , we said in part , \There may be- a few 'bugs ' in the first few editions oi 1I1E LONG ISLAND ADVANCE but we will kill them oft as rap idl y as possible and we will look to our hu ge famil y of leaders to be tolerant with us while we get rolling. \ What have we accomp lished commencing with the third issue — last week' s edition? On the front page our readers found a classified index of the news they were looking tor — the page number and the section. In less than one minute the news written b y our cor- respondents from the various communities all over brookhaven Town , could be found without any further search. The news oi the Moi iches Bay area was grouped in sec- tion 3. Commencing with this issue , the comp lete announcements of our churches are being published in the church directory. Within a very short time , the front page and the inside pages of the bay area section will be made over , dressed up with interesting headlines and p ictures. More local editorials and more local news will be written and published. Too big? Nothing is too big or too good for the east end communities that we have so faithfull y served for the past quarter of a century . This is progress folks. None of your com- munities wish to stand still. \ou are peop le who like to be well informed. You must be interested in knowing what is going on around you and not comp letel y content with onl y the happen- ings in your own sp here. You are taxpayers or you are renters and in either case you surel y are interested in where your money is being spent b y your elected officials. Your new newspaper is pioviding you with this information both in the written word and in p ictures. Too big? We are avid readers of The New York Times but we don ' t read every last word in that great newspaper , but we do read all of the news in it that interests us. Wh y not try doing the same thing in The Long Island Advance? And you pay no more for all that you get. Our ears are close to the ground. Every constructive sug- gestion that comes our way is being carefull y evaluated and these new ideas will be incorporated in the Advance whenever and wherever they appear to be practical. Lastl y, the Advance decidedl y is your newspaper , equall y as much as it is Blue Point ' s or Seidell ' s or Patchogue ' s. Give us a chance to prove ourselves folks , that ' s all that we ask.
