so you ujflnno go outside?
(The following editorial is reprinted
from a recent issue of the Homer Homestead
er, published by V/. R. Benson of Homer)
To those of us who think we have had en
ough of Alaska and who yearn for the life we
left in the States, a word of caution may
not be amiss.
A great many of our folks have gone,
thinking they would stay; others have gone
for visits of indefinite length. And in al
most every case, the-move Outside has been a
disappointment. Memories of the fun and
friends that were left behind when we moved
North have served to make our disappointment
felt more keenly.
During our absence we find that things
have changed. As one woman expressed it, "I
felt like a foreigner." A planned trip of
months is often cut to one' of weeks. Almost
everyone seems to have the same experience.
Alaska’s freedom, its wide open spaces,
its scenery and its vastness does something
to us which we can’t explain. It creates a
gulf between us and our friends in the
states, and the longer we stay here the wid
er the gulf becomes •
So, just a word of warning, friends —
don’t burn all of your bridges behind you
when you leave Alaska. You might be sorry.
