ITS NATURE'S WAY OF DOING
The sudden passing of our good
friend of many years, Dudley
Glass, nationally known and es
teemed newspaperman and col
umnist, we are brought face to
face with the realization that
while in life we are in the midst
of death. We mourn his death as
do thousands of other devoted
friends throughout the state, and
extend our sympathy to his de
voted companion and their fine
eons and daughters. Dudley made
friends by proving a friend to
those with whom he associated.
He had tire intellect and the wit
to entertain any size audience and
on any occasion called upon.
While his work had been among
the daily papers of the state for
the past 25 or 30 years he at all
times manifested a special and
particularly friendly interest in
the men and women composing
the rural press of the state whom
he knew and called by their first
name almost w’ithout an excep
tion. He is gone although his
memory will ever live in
minds and hearts of those who
knew him.
