Centenarians are sought Have any older friends—say, 100 or more years of age? The search for these remark able persons is on because their state wants to honor them. Whereas state birth records do not go back that far and other similar records are also unavailable, the S. C. Inter agency Council on Aging is ask ing the press and its readers to help locate these persons. The centenarians are to be honored initially at Tricenten nial observances at Greenville. There are about 40 persons in the Palmetto State who have reached the magic five-score, federal government sources say. ‘‘The aid of citizens is needed in locating these persons so they may be honored, both as part of the Tricentennial ob servances and in conjunction with National Senior Citizens Month this May,” said Harry R. Bryan. Bryan, executive director of the council, asked that inform ation be addressed to the S. C. Interagency Council, Suite B-3, 2414 Bull St., Columbia 29201.
