The yearly reduction in the size of Spike has halted with the 1943 issue; this magazine is the same length as in 1942. We are not grateful. Had there been a very few more pages we should have been forced to that ancient and patriotic stratagem of printing assertively, "God Save the King," on each of them. It is therefore with profound feeling that we thank those who did write, and those who helped to produce their writings.
