Almanacs shaft gays

(Continued from Page A6)

Indicating that he would be interested in receiving the Gay News in order to keep informed about news important to the gay community, Delury said: "We might want to consider adding a page (on Gay Rights) in the future. If we do, then an editor will be assigned specifically to read your newspaper. In the meantime, I'll read it to see how we want to handle this." This will be the first time that any of the almanacs' editorial departments have had a regular subscription to any gay publication.

Bulletin Almanac, Adam Tait, editor. (Philadelphia: The Evening

and Sunday Bulletin) 640 Pages.

Long held to be one of the finest regional-interest almanacs, and now one of the few such surviving in the country, the Bulletin Almanac contains a wealth of information about the city, the state, and the Delaware Valley area.

Editor Tait told the Gay News that the almanac's policy is to mention legislation only if it actually becomes law, thus explaining the silence on the Philadelphia gay rights bill and the anti-gay bill in the state legislature. Asked why the Shapp executive order was not included, Tait said: "It must have been pulled at the last minute. because of space. I know it was in-

cluded when we began preparing the chronology." He seemed apologetic about dropping it, saying, "You're right, that should definitely have been in."

Tait also will be receiving the Gay News regularly in the future, as well as a yearly abstract prepared by the Gay News staff.

The project of a yearly abstract of gay-related news prepared for use by almanacs will be taken on by the staff of the Gay News Chain's Philadelphia edition. Keith Clark, editor of the Philadelphia Gay News, comments that "this is an ex-

their poor coverage of Gays more to ignorance than to prejudice, next year should see some real improvement.
