To the custodian of the preserve-which also includes five radio stations and a television station-such poaching is intolerable. Valley residents seem to feel about the same way.

Amalgamated peddles everything from Baby's Own Annual to Love Story Library, puts out 29 weeklies, e.g., prim, prosperous Woman's Weekly (circ. 1,615, 778), and nine monthlies. Like the Mirror-Pictorial, Amalgamated has its assorted paper mills and TV stations.
