One week ago last Friday was the birth
day OF the Observers esteemed friend, Mr..
Marsden j. Perry. This OF itself might
seem to the casual reader to be very late
news, but as the celebration OF an incident
which may at this day be looked back upon
as of public importance has not yet
come of-and, after ell, the celebration 10
the thing-the news 10 not 90 old after all:
AS . matter OF fact Mr.. Perry himself
didn't know 1t happened until he was In
formed of the proposed cole bration. Then,
as he couldn't hold on to the birthday he
had to let that pass and the celebration,
when IL comes of, will be- the important
thing, rather than the mere birthday
itself.
Mr.. Perry was As years old WHOM that
neglected birthday turned up on the CAL
endar. Old enough to have known bet
ter, the esteemed Telegram would have
day and date. In the prime Of his pu blic-
spirited activity, THE News might have
yentured to comment. The esteemed
Journal wouldn't have known OF 1t for .

torial page, which takes nothing seriously
except itself.

But the Observer doesn't propose to give
any unauthorized biographies on this oc-

to the celebration yet to be observed.

day celebrations, like senior class suppers,
are sacred things not to be spoken OF care

OF public gaze. Not on your life.
1t Itsppears, however, that some friends OF
the 45-year-old electrical sharp prepared
q little surprise which contemplated .
feast and birthday cake. The recipient OF
the birthday surprise, however, was out OF
town when the day came around and the
feast had to be postponed. The birthday
cake, however could not bs. postponed for
it had to be ordered three weeks ahead to
be properly buildsd and when the birth
day came around it was finished and prop
