Newspaper Proves to Be Valuable!

Or something like that. Using a newspaper to line the bottom of a birdcage or to wrap fish wasn't enough? Now a reader of Salt Lake Tribune ombudsman Connie Coyne has come up with this use for the plastic wrapping around the delivered paper:

"A few years ago we discovered a very resourceful use for the bags that our Salt Lake Tribune comes in. Let's just say that they are perfect for when we walk our dogs each day.

"During the summer we deplete our supply of bags that we have accumulated over the winter, when it is more common to receive the newspaper in a bag.

"We were wondering if the company that supplies the bags would sell some to us. We know that there are companies that sell bags for this very purpose but they are very short and not nearly as . . . user friendly."
