  Mr London,

Thanks for the support. Anyone who wants to put their 650-word Visions 
in front of our readers eight times in the next two years, well, keep 
those cards and letters coming to murf at dnews.com

    *K-*

    *If you are taking votes, I vote that you sign up with the Daily
    News as a Town Crier columnist (see below).  Your words need wider
    circulation.  BL*

    *ps. same to you, Paul, Ted, and even G. Crabtree*

    *TOWN CRIER V:* We don't need no stinkin' syndicated columnists on
    our Opinion page. That's our belief, and we're stickin' to it. We
    want our own community to provide our columnists. A big part of that
    has been our Town Criers.

    Our fourth crew of 13 Town Criers has reached the end of its
    two-year commitment to the Daily News and the community.

    We would like to say thanks to John Carlson, Don Cox, Dan David,
    Jerry Finch, Nick Gier, Penelope Gonzales, Larry Kirkland, Eric
    McGilp, Donald C. Orlich, Michael Riley, Matthew Wappett, W. A.
    Warren and Nina Woodford. They have given us much to think about and
    argue over.

    So, it's time to put out a call for the Town Crier V squad.

    What would be expected of you? Each member will need to write a
    column of 650 words four times a year for two years. It can be on
    any topic, national or local, the same topic every time or a wide
    range of topics, inflammatory or informative, serious or funny,
    personal or political. We'll edit for style, spelling, grammar,
    syntax and libel, but the topics and point of view are yours alone.

    Who should apply? Anyone who has eight things to say, can write 650
    interesting words and can hit a deadline every 13 weeks. We would
    like to see more women and more working people apply this time. The
    last group was dominated by retired men, not that there's anything
    wrong with being either retired or a man.

    Apply by sending an email to Murf Raquet, the editor the Opinion
    page, at murf at dnews.com <mailto:murf at dnews.com>. Give him your
    background and an example of your writing.
