Headlines Again

Again making the headlines, this
time, the State Barber Board is
the recipient of a $4,000 damage
suit filed against them by operators
and students of the Phoenix Barber
College.
The suit filed on April II was
based on allegations that the board
composed of w. K. Noles, Phoenix,
Vester Henderson and L. E. Moye,
both of Tucson, had stated in cor
reSpondence that there was no
barber college in Arizona.
Mrs. Thelma Walker, Operator
of the Barber College won victory
in the State Supreme Court about
q months ago when the board was
ordered to issue a license to the
college by the high court.
When Mrs. Walker attempted to
secure the license, the President of
the license board alleged to have
told her that the need for such an
institution was not sufficient to
warrant the issuing of a license.
Mrs. Walker, since establishing
the school in 1947, has turned out
approximately $50 graduates Of all
races who have established their
own businesses in different parts
of the country and are said to be

The Suns first issue was a very
small tabloid with a very few ads,
this, of course was expected at that
time. We tried to sell it for 10
cents per copy which was an un-
successful venture. Of that issue
there was less than SO copies sold
out of the $50 copies printed. This
was somewhat discouraging and
caused us to change our conviction
that Phoenix Negro population
was hungry for a Negro newspaper.
Nevertheless we continued to
struggle with the hope that some
day the Sun, would win the hearts
of the majority of the Negro read
ing pubE".
The priL>> was changed to five
cents which of course boosted cir
culation. We soon realized t n
sales alone would not support our
project not even pay the cost
of printing. With this realization
the price was changed, which in
creased the circulation. With in
creased circulation, East Side busi-
ness men began to place their ad-
vertising with us which is directly
responsible for the Arizona Suns
continued life.
The Sun, on it's 7th Anniversary,
wishes to thank those advertisers
who came to it's rescue during the
first year of its existence and happy
to say many of them are still with
us.
The Sun and staff, instead of
accepting congratulations from our
many supporters wish to thank
them for their continued patronage.
Listed below are the names of the
firms who have used our
paper to advertise their wares, for
over a period of five years:
Hill Billy Dry Cleaning. Ada
Walker, Notrary Public; Normans.
Pharmacy; Reddy's Corner; Bob
Griggs Paint Store; Haglers Barber
Shop; B. & B Second Hand Store;
East Lake Mortuary and ElkS
Lodge, and many others who, have
been our constant advertisers one
TO TWO years.
Among our most ardent boosters,
and we boast OF many, is James L.
Davis, who was at one time
member of the staff. He worked
untiringly in his spare time for
the success of the Sun and sold
many hundred inches of advertiS-
ing since this paper has been or
ganized. UP until about year ago
Mr.. Davis accepted the responsible
ity of selling SO copies each week.
Tho he is no longer on the staff,
we feel he is one of the Suns
StauncheSt friends.

brated throughout America. The
theme of the program is make
Your Insurance Dollars do Double
Duty"

panies belonging to the National
Negro Insurance Association a n d
these employees support over 55,-
600 people,-supply their food,
shelter, clothing and other neces-

Millions of policy holders, bene-
ficiaries, employees and their
families have benefited from the
life insurance dollars saved with
Negro companies through the pro-
lection they received in the en-
ployment that was created. This
has been made possible because
of the nickleS and dimes that these
policy holders have paid which pro-
tected over four million policy
holders with a total protection of
one billion dollars.
The Sun Valley Life Insurance
Company of Phoenix is urging
Negro citizens to get behind this
program and help Arizona to come
up with the National quota. If the
Sun Valley can secure at least one
half million dollars of insurance,
written during the month of May,
five additional field men can be
added and one additional worker
