To whom it may concern: AS we
have told you before, this gossip
column is all in fun and we do not
wish any one to send in gossip that
will harm anyone. We do not want
gossip about married people, nor do
we want you people who have
something against someone to take
it out through this column. We are
not interested in your personal feel
ings and do not want you to say
the nasty things about your enc
mics in this column. And if you
just must print these little nasty
things about folk, sign your own
name to them and we will guar
antee you that a bomb will surely
fall on you. We appreciate the jun
ior gossip and gossip sent in just
for fun. But we will not print the
slanderous things sent in in the flu
ture. Siwned: H. J. Wolfe, agent
