The name ~ks A wash originallywas the title of an extension-produccdTV series staned in 1%2 and designedmainly for Newfoundland fIShermen.Theproaram.s.:ripts, indeed, were sentto fIshermen.

By 1968, lheexlemionservice decid­edlopublishamagazi~urKlerlhesame

namelo~distributedfreetoruralareas

where periodicals were not regularlyavailable.

The first issue carried a mcssage fromDonald Sno..-den,lhen the director ofatension:

"DedsAwash is a magazinelhatwill serve the intertsl$ ofpeoplt inrural areas of Newfoundland.

"h will bring you news and infor­matinnnn what is happening inotlter communities throughoutNewfoundland and Labrador. Itwillcarryspecialarticksorinte~l

lofisher~n,farmersandhouse­

wives. We hope you will find ituseful."

And so the magazine was launcbcd. Thefirst editor was Harvey Best, followedby Erwin Wiens. Early issues wereproduced somewhat sporadically withphotographssupplicdbyatcmionflCldworkers and media unit staff who con­tinued to produce the TV series until1977. Guest articles and rcprinlS fromOIherpublications were also an imcgralpari of the magazine when the nut twoeditors, Edythe Goodridge and LeisSaunders, took over.

When Susan Sherk became editor in1973, D«ks Awash had become a bi­monthlymaaarine.Paperstockchangedto newsprint, t!lenow familiar specialSCdion ....as introdltCtd in 1974, and apossyooverwasaddedinl975.UniHT­sity designer Ian Stewart produced anew 1010 in 1980, and circulation grewat anunpreccdented rate,reac:hingmorethan 25,000 by 1982 when rapidly es-­caJatiDlooSlSforced the university's de­cision toceasc publication in February1982,

"I rememberclearly ....!lenPrcsidentHarris told us we could no longer pub­lish," m:alls editor Sally Lou LcMessu­rier. "All of us were very, very,unhappy.
