This issue of Salient was edited by Peter Franks and Roger Steele, and typeset at incredible speeds by Irene Kennedy, Gyles Beckford, Pat O'Dea and Don Franks reported all the news they could, but had to leave lots more for others who will join the staff immediately and get on with the job. Many people assisted with the layout, including Ted Sheehan, Graeme Collins, Cheryl Dimond, Gyles Beckford and Frith Jennings. As it took them several long nights to get it all done they need help. The proofreading department looked a little shaky until Dave McLatchie came to the rescue, but next time we might need a brigade of proofreaders. Most of the cartoons and graphics were drawn by Royal Abbott and Don Franks. We would also like to see other people's drawings. Typists and researchers are urgently required.

On the front cover the photo of the man sleeping was taken by Hilary Watson, the students by Grub and Michael Joseph Savage and the workers by the Alexander Turnbull Library (described below). Photos on pages four and seven were taken by Hilary and lithographed by Grub, who took the photo on page six. We can do with a lot more photos too.

Cover photo: Michael Joseph Savage, first Labour Prime Minister, visits workers at the construction site of the Wellington Centennial Exhibition in 1939, accompanied by cabinet members and the contractor, James Fletcher. Two of Savage's ministers, who are standing behind him on his immediate right, Peter Fraser and Bob Semple, were prominent leaders of the militant "Red" Federation of Labour in the years before the First World War. From 1939 they led the Government's attacks on trade unions.
