An order for relief has been entered. This notice has important information about the case for creditors, debtors, and trustees, including information about the meeting of creditors and deadlines. Read both pages carefully. The filing of the case imposed an automatic stay against most collection activities. This means that creditors generally may not take action to collect debts from the debtor or the debtor's property. For example, while the stay is in effect, creditors cannot sue, assert a deficiency, repossess property, or otherwise try to collect from the debtor. Creditors cannot demand repayment from the debtor by mail, phone, or otherwise. Creditors who violate the stay can be required to pay actual and punitive damages and attorney's fees. Confirmation of a chapter 11 plan may result in a discharge of debt. A creditor who wants to have a particular debt excepted from discharge may be required to file a complaint in the bankruptcy clerk's office within the deadline specified in this notice.

Print editions of papers have experienced stagnation and decline over the past several decades and today face an increasingly complex media environment, and as a result there is the potential for them to be rendered obsolete.

Evergreen decorations with myriad colored lights were located on all sides. With the opportunity of adding the beautiful Engineering and Research Building to the sites decorated, the Safety Supervisors, who arranged this program, made the Christmas Spirit visible in tasteful brightness. To spread the spirit of Christmas, the Company forwarded some of Maine’s beautiful evergreen trees, for use as Christmas trees, to Mr. Fred Wachs, President, Lexington Herald-Leader; Mr. Edwin Young, General Manager, Providence Journal; and to Mr. Frank Morrison, President, Pittsburgh Press. Practically all Woodlands work sites were closed December 24 and 25 for the holidays. Employees will work the following Saturday to make up time lost on Monday. This action gave the employees a four- day week end which meant a great deal to men whose work keeps them away from home all week.
