Wildmon column shows growth “WHATSOEVER THINGS”— the column that appears in The Sun each week, added more than 170 papers to it’s growing list of papers carrying the col umn during the first three weeks of January. The addi tions brought to more than 300 the number of papers carrying the column. Twenty states were repre sented in the additions with heavy concentration in the states of Illinois, Michigan, In diana, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Kansas, Pennsylvania. Both dailies and weeklies ad ded the column, with the small est paper having a circulation of 450 to the largest having a circulation of 198,000. The column, written by Don ald E. Wildmon of Tupelo, Mis sissippi, has shown tremend ous growth since it originated in a small weekly just a little over two years ago. As usual the new additions brought more commendations from editors. An editor in Minnesota wrote: “The columns are inspiring and meaningful. Our nation is need ful of this type of thought.” Another editor, from Indiana, wrote: “You do have a fresh approach on topics close to our readers.” A Wisconsin editor wrote: . . . “made sense and had impact.” Another Wiscon sin editor was also complimen tary of the column. He wrote: “Excellent . . . this is what we need and what the world needs!” And a Washington ed itor wrote: “Your column touches on a subject that needs to be brought to the public, and in a way that makes them want to read it.” The Sun is happy to be am ong the many papers that carry “Whatsoever Things” and hope nany readers enjoy it.
