Summer 2023 | VOL . 31.4
ARTA is celebrating its 60 th anniversary this year in various ways . Do you remember the first news & views you read ? Were you — possibly — an editor or proofreader ? Let us know if you have news & views memories from any time across the past sixty years .
You may notice that this issue of news & views is fifty-two pages — somewhat thinner than usual . With the rising cost of paper , we made an effort to reduce the page count of this issue . If you haven ’ t migrated to a digital copy , you might consider that option now . Contact marketing @ arta . net if a digital subscription suits your style .
Erratum
In the spring issue of news & views , the ARTA 2022 Writing Contest announced Mona Bacon ’ s honourable mention for her short story “ Presto Finito ” ( page 32 ). Unfortunately , Mona ’ s name was spelled incorrectly . We extend our apology to Ms Bacon for this error and hurry to congratulate her on her award .
