[As published in the Christian Science Sentinel, April 24, 1948]
Since the end of the war, we have been urged by many of our readers to provide a plan for delivery of The Christian Science Monitor by air as an alternative for those subscribers who wish to receive this newspaper as close as possible to its date of publication.
Obviously the difference in delivery by regular mail and air mail is so considerable as to prohibit the assumption of this additional cost by The Christian Science Publishing Society, inasmuch as our present subscription rate of $14 a year barely meets, and in some cases does not meet, the cost of production and mailing to distant places.
