BIRTHDAYS
We have had inquiries as to
the reason for the birthday col
umn being omitted from the
last few issues of The Sun Our
birthday list has been on hand
for many years and although we
have requested the assistance of
readers in keeping it up to date,
we haven't had much luck We
just don't personally know every
person listed. We know some of
the people might no longer be
living; we know some of the
young ladies on the list are
married but we don't know
their married names. In other
words, our list is just out of
date and recently, for the most
part, the names which have
been printed were those known
to us, to try to avoid error
We would like to continue the
list if you would like it contin
ued The on!\ u ay we can do
this is for von to send us a
card listing the birthdays you
would like to see published
family or friends This must be
m writing We would also ask
that \ou let us Know if you
see printed the name of a de
eeased person, oi , n menrreet
name
If we reeei\e \oiii eoopera

will bo resumed
