Dear Sirs:
Enclosed please find pos
tal money order for ^3*00 for
a 6 months subscription to
your paper and 4 copies of
the December 9, 1954 issue

subsequent issues which have
reference to the P.U.D* and

It is appalling to us here
in Chugiak that anyone would
make any unkind criticism of
our much loved and respected
Johnson family* Whatever
they do is always for the
general good for that is the
way they think - clearly and
good. .
Sincerely yours,
Marie L. McDowell
(Mrs. J. A. McDowell, Post

YOU KNOW ■■■
I‘VE KEEN THINKING
Our vocabulary contains e
little three letter word that
philosophers have speculated
with, some endeavoring to
modify and some insist upor
i its literal application as it
found in the "Book of Books."
As this little word is sin 1
would like to ask that you
define it.
Kan calls sin an accident;'
God calls it an abomination*?
* Man calls sin a blunderj
God calls it blindness*
Man calls sin a chance;
God calls it a choice*
Man calls sin a defect;
God calls it a desease.
Man calls sin- an error;
God calls it enmity.
Man calls sin fascination;
God calls it fatality.
Man calls sin an infirmity
God calls it iniquity.
Man calls sin liberty;
God calls it lawlessness,.
Man calls sin a trifle;
God calls it a tragedy.
Man calls sin a mistake;
God calls it madness.
Mian calls sin a weakness;
God calls it willfulness.
A thought for the weekj
Drinking booze is like sit
ting on a boo; very stimula
ting but not very nourishing.
