13-R-The Evening Indepen-

Sunshine offer of a free home
edition on sunless days in st.
Petersburg, Major Lew b.
Brown, publisher of the paper,
announced yesterday in a signed
editorial.
1t had been planned to discon-
tniue the offer Feb. %, because
adoption of war time trims an
other hour of possible sunshine
from the publishing day, and be-
cause of threatened shortages in
newsprint.
Since Major Brown made the
original announcement last Sat-
urday business and civic leaders
have besieged him with requests
to continue the offer.
1T appears that I did not
value highly enough the SUM-
shine offer in its relation to the
Sunshine City," said Major
Brown.
