Dems Aid 'Banner'

The Hravard-Radcliffe Young Democrats will be asking for funds this week to keep the Bay State Banner alive.

The Banner, Roxbury's community newspaper, built up a circulation of 6000 in its seven months of weekly publication before limited advertising forced it to suspend publication April 23. The publishers hope to revive it later this month if the fund drive's successful.

The YD's will be selling tickets to a benefit concert Saturday night, and selling yearly Banner subscriptions.
