INCREASE OF SUBSCRIPTION OF “OUR LIFE” MAGAZINE. As of January 1, 1981 the subscription of “Our Life” magazine has been increased to $13.00. Due to the high cost of printing and mailing, the Executive Committee of UNWLA was forced to increase the subscription of “Our Life” in order to insure its continued existance. COUNTRIES OTHER THAN U. S. (with the exception of South America) may send the subscription in their currency, which will equal the amount of 13.00 American dollars. We would greatly appreciate receiving additional $2.00 from those subscribers who already paid $11.00 for the 1981 subscription.
