Wanted Your Laugh Lines!
Have you read or heard something interesting or amusing you would like to share? Reader’s digest welcomes the following contributions, and payment is made, on publication, at these rates:
$400 for Life in the United States. Contribution must be true, unpublished stories from your own experience, and providing appealing or humorous sidelights on the American scene. Maximum length: 300 words. Address: life in U.S. Editor.
$300 for true, unpublished stories used in Humor in Uniform ( experiences in the army services ), Campus Comedy ( life in college ). Maximum length: 300 words. $35 to the first contributor of each item from a published source. Address: Humor in Uniform, Campus Comedy Editor.
For a short time anecdotes （趣闻） and quotations, the most likely sources are books, magazines of limited circulation and local newspapers. So many duplicates of items from major magazines are received that the chance of being the first contributor is slim. Original poetry is not demanded, except for short, light one.
Your name, address, telephone number and the mailing date should be on all items. Published material should have the source’s name, date and page number. Contributions cannot be acknowledged or returned. PLEASE SEND TO THE APPROPRIATE EDITOR. Reader’s Digest, Pleasantville, N. Y. 10570.
