 l. Is an anniversary of service to the credit of the correspondent as we'll as 10 Danielson and The Bull ietin. Nothing is more important 10 a newspaper than an alert and conscientious correspondent. = The Editor
 Covered Two Town.
 Through nearly all of the years that Mir Sullivan has been with the Bulletin" he has covered" Putnam as we'll as Danielsen. It was abodt two years ago that his newspaper. realizing that the task was too much ef q burden for one man, engaged another correspondent for Putnam, allowing Mr Sullivan more time for soliciting advertising. which he has always done in conjunction with his news gathering. while covering Dan ielson. Putnam, and nearby towns.
 To cover two towns, as Mir Sullivan did for years, and not let any import ant news "get by, as MT. Sullivan did for so long. was q task that few newspaper men would care to tackle. Although spending but a couple of hours in Putnam each morning heI nevertheless managed to get all the news there was even though the news broke" after he had returned home
 This he accomplished through his pleasing personality. He built up al machine of friends. who were not only wiling but glad te assist him, and in the event that news story broke after he had left Putnam for his home there were those eager to give him q riaR' and furnish him thcI story
 An old newspaper man once said T Every friendship that reporter makes Is worth a dollar year tol him. ]" This was a way of stating that every person is source of news and that every friend will give whatever information he can Co q representa- tive If the press with whom he has formed friendship.
 It was through the medium of friendships formed that MT. Sullivan was able to cover his two towns ani thetr surrounding territory so well He was accurate in his reporting would never publish a story that would iniure anyone f it could be helped, would never betray a confidence. ant would 70 out of his way te do any one favor IL was thus that MT. Sullivan was able te dc his work soI efficiently and with minimum ot effort for such large task. The Pat riot may add it's word of recognition of the score of years of faithful and efficient service of newspaper man and correspondent and extend it's congragllatians, not alone to NIT. Sullivan. but also tu the paper he re presents. in being able Co keep such m efficient news gatherer in its en- pioy for so many years.
