was news. I said, 51 Is it

to put it in the paper but I
told him he said • it and the
witnesses swore they heard
the same thing; but I don*t ,
really expect him to go^thru
with it even if I do need the
news. ■ m

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
To the Editor,
Kenai Peninsula Pioneer
I wonder why?
Seme things seem to get
started at just a certain
time? For instance the lit
tle HEA paper called the
"Consumers Highlights" with
the jdipii theme song, which so
conveniently* . gets started
just before. HEA election time*
Why did it not start in
Honor the birth place of HEii
instead’ of away from home
(Anchor Pt.). Was it to make
the old Homerites who brought
HEa into being look small in
just plain thoughtlessness or
cussidness?
iifter all the shouting
about trade at home stuff,
why was the paper printed
away from Homer by someone
who seems to be a past master
at the old Russian game of
propaganda? If you wi11 look
in one of our local papers
you will find where printing
was solicited* Why does seme
one toll me to trade at hone
when they don’t? I believe
that it was just another of
the old "Look* look at the
clouds—-while I steal the ap
ples’1 shunts that are pulled
so often of late* Kinda one
of ihose things we pull down
over our eyes and ears in
cold weather, "Capa, Capa,
Capa"*** trying out the old
Russian theory of beating
them #ver the head with a
hammer and shouting "it
doesnH hurt" until the vic
tim is convinced it does not
hurt, and it doesn’t "he’s
out cold*"
while we gather news for
this little paper to be
printed in the dark by a "dark
horse for a dark^’ purpose to
keep people in the dark, our
good dark light poles float
around on the Spit in high
* tides apd thirty H*P* motors
lay behind sheds with tarps
over them instead of running
and making money for the HEa,
and poles lay - and rot in the
dirt * along our highways and
our HEa board makes rules to
keep the ^ public away from
their meetings except by giv
ing k days notice*
It's a nice democratic or
ganization run, in my opinion
fn a dark way# I am sure we
heed a change and a big one*
