I ivnti By SAM WARREN LET THEM KNOW Northsiders are church-going folks, reflected by the large number of active and outstanding churches in the area.

Providing coverage of their weekly services and other activities takes a lot of space, and we hope if you like the Sun's Church Page, you'll let the public spirited firms who sponsor it know that you do, by telling them, and if possible giving them some of your business. The Sun prior to the sponsorship of the page was many times unable to provide the space for coverage of all of the churches every week. Firms who make this possible on a regular basis include, The Standard Oil Company and all of their service stations serving this area; Sunflower Food Stores in this area; Wellington Insurance, Beemon Drugs, Northside Appliances, Brent's Drugs, Milady's Maternity Shop, and Dr. Donald R. Humberg.

We say "thanks" and we hope you will too. FIVERS Latest additions to the long-planning, money saving group known as the Sun Five Year Renewers Club are: MR. MRS. MARTIN W. THOMPSON, 1039 Briarfield; MR.
