Flights to and from the Spanish island of La Palma, one of the seven islands that make up the Spanish archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean, were canceled Saturday because of an ash cloud spewing out of a volcano that has been erupting for a week. The volcanic eruption that started last Sunday is the first in 50 years on La Palma, with a population of about 85,000.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
