Anniversary Number
Thursday, April 19th
As announced last week, we have published a diagram
(see design on “Educational Department” page) showing
the "Sky Love Sign” in this issue. If you will watch the
sky about 8 o’clock this evening, if it is clear, you can see
the figure in just about the position of the afternoon sun at
4 p.m. Near the figure and to the upper right, forming a
triangle with the nearest stars of the “Sky Love Sign”, you
can see another, the “Sentinel” star to the groupe of five
brilliant stars forming the “Sky Love Sign”.
In order to give everyone, both young and old, a fair op
portunity to get the Herald for the next two months, includ
ing the Anniversary Number, we will offer a two-months
subscription for only (20) cents. This will give the children,
even, an opportunity to become subscribers to the Herald.
