splended contributions to the paper, we
must ask all to Utilize the Guard Mail
System rather than the telephone.So many
phone calls are interferring with the
daily work of personnel concerned with
the publishing of the SUN. Flease don!t
let this discourage your participation
as without it the paper would not be of
interest to anyone. We wish, at this
time,to thank the people who are writing
the stories that we publish every week
and pass on to them, in this way, the
wonderful comments we have received
concerning the enjoyment in reading.
