SUBSCRIPTION RATES DROPPED
Anew lower subscription
rate for the HOMER MENS »as
announced . this week by \ Bill
Raver, publisher of the paper,
The new rate, effective
immediately, the yearly
subscription rate at S3*50,
The former rate was S$* All
subscriptions paid for at the
old rate will be extended♦
Reason for the reduction
according to the NEWS pub
lisher, was that he felt the
new rate was more in keeping
with the economy of the area,
The new rate, he said,
would allow more people on
the western side of the Penin
sula to receive the paper regu
larly each week by subscrip
tion 'instead of having to pick
up a copy at a local newsstand
as has been the practice,
"Many people, "the publish
er stated, "do not realize
the teriffic amount of work
that goes into publishing a
neat upbearing newspaper that
gives full news coverage of
an area of this size, Like
most of the businesses in the
Homer area, we are looking
forward to> the day and working
for the day when the papula
tionofHomer and the adjacent
areas will increase substan
tially and our own growth will
reflect that increase, We
feel that the NEWS has beeh
well received and believe
that through a sincere con
scientious effort we will con
tinue to enjoy that support,
We want to thank our many ad
vertisers and readers who
have consistently supported
us during our first four-and
a-haly months of operation,
We know,‘‘of course, that many
of our readers have not always
agreed with our editorial
policies but they have re
spected our right to state
our opinions in a sincere,
stra*ghtforward manner. The
colunns of the NEWS are al
ways open to those who dis
agree with us and we hope
that our readers.will always
make their feelings known and
never harbor any ill feelings
or feel that only one side of
a story has been presented.
