LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Editor
The Homer Ners
Dear Editor:
A letter of resignation
has been sent by the under
signed to Air. Ed Fortier, Di
rector of the Third ..Divi si or
Area of Civil Defense Pith
the recommendation that Mr*>
Henning Johnson be approved
as Director of the Greater
Hbmdr Civil Defense area#
There are many reasons rhj>
I feel that I should resign
as Director of Civil Defense
and I ni 11 not enumerate then
at this time. I pould like
to take this opportunity to
thank all those uho have
rorked in Civil Defense pith
me and pledge my continued
interest in Civil Defense*
There are many things that
cai come to Homer through
Civil Defense and I feel cer
tain that my successor Pill
see that Burner gets its full
share of equipment*
Among the items that re
have asked for and will get
are the folioring:
Field x-ray machine, fire
truck for the East Road, ad
ditional firc-fighting equip
ment for the area, blankets,
cooking implements for mass
cooking, first aid kits,
lumps for the fire equipment
or other use*
Those items and others
rill bo ours if ro rill get
behind the Civil Defense pro
gram and if re rill transpori
them from Anchorage. Civii
Defense has no b.udget for
transportation so it is up tc
each community to got trucks
to Anchorage to get its share
I again rish to thank the
community for the cooperation
that has been accorded me and
pledge my best efforts to as
sist toy successor in seeing
that Homer gets all the
things it needs to protect
our people in case of cmer
cency.
Sincerely yours,
Nelson P. ]&>yer,
