LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The following letter, or
rather post card, was received
this week by the NEWS, It is
printedinaccordar.ee with our
stated intentions of printing
all letters to the editor
that are fit to print. Hie
would like ~to ’state "TiTai 'it
was not our intention to be
msilly" or "comical" nor to
ridicule the president of the
board of directors of the PUD
in last week ' s editorial. ,4s
we stated in that, editorial
we are sure that the president
is sincere ana it crying to
do the best job Possible. Our
argument was with the manner
with which he approached the
dock problem. He have great
respect for Mr. Kranich and
the job that he is doing. Bis
is a thankless job and not
one sought after by every mem
ber of the community. How
ever this respect does not
keep us from differing with
him. It will be a sad day
indeed when a newspaper can
net differ with a public of
ficial eithout fearing fin
ancial or personal injury.
Me knew that there would tp
many who would disagree with
ottr stand but we stated our
feelings as" ho’nesl ly~ as~ we
could as we will continue to
do in all such cases.
The post card read as fol
lows: "lour article ’Poor
Poker' is both silly and com
ical. You should not ridicule
an individual unless you have
eaten 260 Loaves of bread in
your community especially if
you run after loose dollars
as you did longshoring- the
last boat as ROB URIQR man.
Signed, Carl Baier. "
Me don't understand the
reference to the 260 loaves
of bread, but if we take Mr.
Baier literally we can assure
him that we have consumed far
more than that since our ar
rival in Homer, Dollar-wise
we are less rich now thah
when we arrived m Homer and
nearly every red cent that we
have earned (and we do mean
earned) has been spent right
here in town and this prac

As far as the longshoring
is concerned we might say .
that this is the second time
since our arrival in Homer

tal Monarch* When approached
Saturday afternoon by the
union representative about
longshoring it was pointed
out that I was not a union
man* The dispatcher assured
me that he had made every
effort to get union men but
that due to. the fishermen's
dance that evening he could
not get a full union crew
but that he would check fur
ther and let me know' whether
or not I should report for
work later in the day„ 1

appreciate the opportunity

money is sorely needed, but
I did not seek the job.
