What If You Worked Here?

If you worked at the Cashton Record,

you would have to be a careful reader

to find mistakes. You might have to lay

out the articles so they fit in the paper

just right. It helps if you are patient and

will to try things in a different way! You

would also have to be able to type

and use a computer.
