Celebrating the Cedar Street Irregulars The newspaper industry designated Oct. 10, 2015, as International Newspaper Carrier Day, a salute to hundreds of thousands of newspaper carriers who deliver to 130 million print readers every week. Here at Cedar Street Times, we have 14 teen-aged boys and girls who deliver once a month all over Pacific Grove. A number of former newspaper carriers have gone on to achieve national prominence in business, entertainment, politics and the press. John Wayne, Warren Buffett and Martin Luther King Jr. are among the former carriers who are now part of the Newspaper Carrier Hall of Fame, which began in 1960 by the International Circulation Managers Association. International Newspaper Carrier Day is held in con- junction with National Newspaper Week, Oct. 4-10, 2015, now in its 75th year and which is sponsored separately by the Newspaper Association Managers.
