NATION TO HONOR
ALL HEWSPAPERBOYS
On Saturday, October 5, the
nation will pay tribute to 600,-*
000 enterprising young men.
These youngsters are newspaper
boys. They are the boys who
deliver their papers daily, sum
mer and winter. When they
would rather be playing, they
are delivering newspapers in fog,
rain, wind, cold, darkness, and
in some cases beset by actual
physical danger (many boys have
been chased by moose and dogs.)
Governor Mike Stepovich has
made the day official in Alaska
by declaring October 5 as News
paperboy Day and has called up
on all residents to show the re
spect due these alert, hard work
ing young men.
Newspaper boys of The Fron
tiersman were guests of the firm
at the October 2 meeting of the
local Chamber of Commerce.
