The name of our paper, The Frontiersman,
has occasioned some comment in the past few
days. It is felt an explanation of why the
Seldovia newssheet was so named would, be ap
preciated. * . •
The Frontiersman was suggested as a name
for a planned newspaper serving this part of
the Kenai country by 2d Fortier, editor of
the Forty-Ninth Star,- an Anchorage; weekly.
It Was immediately selected as .the name of
our paper, because of the innate meaning of
the word.
Frontier suggests a young country peopled
by active, vigorous pioneers with vision.for
the future, Where there is a-frontier there
is always growth. A frontier is the birth
place of new ideas. From America1s fron
tiers have borne the sweeping- changes that
brought thirteen; struggling sta-te-s into a
union which has grown to be one of the great
countries of the world.
To speak of Seldovia and th^ Kenai as a
frontier, is in no way slurring our.commun
ity. It is a compliment, for it paints a
glowing picture of what we believe.-lies in
the future for us here. We are growing in
Seldovia. We shall continue to grow and to
grow not only physically- but in -every way
that a city must in order to grow up.
We believe in''Seldovia and in the cityfs
future. * It is our hope -that belief is most
strongly asserted in the name the masthead
of our news sheet carries — The Frontiersman
