Homer News
Homer, Alaska
Dear Mr. Bill Raver:
We in Fairbanks onjoy your
weekly mimeograph aid are al
ways looking forward to the
next issue*
I was very pleased to see
you started including the
high and low d^.ily tempera
tures* Here in Fairbanks
that is the first column read
and brings the most remarks.
We missed the column in the
Feb 3 issue and hope that is
all it was—a miss or slip*
The amount of snow on the
ground, snowfall and rain,
and a general ramrk about
the weather would be appre
ciated*
It might be something for
the CGS (sic) to take-up* To
draw people the weather can
be of prime importance. I.
don’t think your moderate
climate is stressed enough*
Capitalize on iti Call it—
Homsr- ."The Miami of Alaska".
About advertising—would -
like to see more of the buil
ding supply stares listed—
their brands, etc# ^
Also, a road condition "re
port would be of utmost help
to us on the outside#
Bus and plane schedules,
too#
Here I am criticizing.
Keep up your good work. You
see, I too hope to be seeing
Homer first hand in the near
future.
Sincerely,
(S) Maynard M. Stutzman

YOU KNOW
TvE BEEN THINKING:..
Many people ' have jealousy
as the ir hobby. King Saul
made a career of it. From
the day that , young David had
gained fame by slaying the
Philistine giant Goliath, and
the people compared David’s
valor against that of Saul,
King Saul made as his main
national policy the killing
of David# VJhat an ambition
for a king!
It has been said of Mr.
Lincoln that he was once que
stioned as to the ability and
integrity of one of the men
in his government. Mr. Lin
coln was elaborate in his
praise of this particular
person under inquiry* After
the conversation ended and
the man had left, one of Mr*
Lincoln’s advisors asked-Pre
sident Lincoln if he didn’t
know that the man that he had
just prerised to his caller
was a constant critic, both
of his policy and personality*
To this Mr* Lincoln replied,
7,Yes, I understand that, but
my caller did not ask my fel
low worker * about me, -but he
asked me about my fellow wor
ker* ”
A thought for' the week:
Rivers end people get crooked
by £o3.lowing the way of the
least resistance*
