As a Star-Bulletin employee explained to WorldNetDaily, the editors “print what we receive from the Department of Health Vital Statistics System,” and did so in 1961. And the Advertiser worked the same way.
Actually, the first newspaper employee who was contacted about 2 1/2 years ago said that he didn’t know how they did it in 1961.
The person now is lying. If you read the links I posted, or even just contemplate the fact that in Aug. 1961, each paper not exactly the same lists or numbers of babies, and not all the babies born were announced in the papers, you’d realize that the announcements in the papers at that time could not possibly have come from the the state Dept of Vital Statistics.
If they did, both newspapers would have had the exact same list, which they did not, and every birth would be in the papers, which they were not.
