LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Its my opinion and I won
der how far off the beam I
am® In the March 24 issue of
the Homer. News (Page 1) we
nute .(with a smile) that Tit
was suggested by 3ome one
that the .Chamber of Commerce”
contact Montgomery lards and
Seara Roebuck & Co„ concern
ing the possibilities of the
two companys Supplying shop
tools for the proposed work
shop for t*ke Homer School#
JVery worthy cause®)
That's on page one, then
On page three same issue (and
previous issues) we see the
ad of the Trade-at-Home Mer
chants and in the upper right
har.1 comer of this ad there
is a catalogue?? shewn# In
the lower left hand corner is
the names* of the merchants
supporting the ad# Most of
these merchants belong to the
Homer Chamber -.a very worthy
trganization* . .
Now what I wonder is^ this
1s it right fair to cut a
man’s throat with one . = hand
and reach *: out with the. other
for a donation from him even
for a worthy cause?
• Then ' hack - to the ”Gun
Rangepage three# I don’t
want to harp on the subject
but I still do not think that
the place for a Rifle Range
Is within \ mile of a hospi
tal and so close to a densely
populated area. A 30*06 slug
tan kill . at. 2 milee* from
’. where it was fired# Anyway
why don’t you ask the doctors
view on the. subject? :
< My opinion i§ the N. G*
(Id. note - National Guard) ’
will ' not / go along with the
idea when the case is presen
ted in the true light of saf
ety and nuisance, even if the
local gun artists do.
I think Paul Chequette has
a mighty fine idea with hi3
archery club range and I be
lieve it will attract visi
tors five to one. compared to
the rifle range, and I would
suggest he be. backed up on
the- idea by the Homer folks,
Pair Beard and all. Itfs a"
fine and coming sport,not too
dangerous or too expensive
and can be enjoyed by both
yoilng and old al ike 0
I see also the Editor is
oh the ball and calls a sho
vel a shovel in his article
(Page 2) "We’ve Been Working
On The Railroad,”
I think it fine for tha
Editor to present such cases
for us and it shows his heart
is in the right place on the
left side. How many of ps
would have heard of the case
if It had not' been presented
to us by Bill*
What we need in our’present
world is more truth and sin
cerity; of purpose and less of
the. throat cutting ~ for per
sonal gain; more imer leans
fhat are Americans'; because
they love our country far its.
_good not its gold. s ; ,
: Keep chopping -Mr. Editor
and lbt the chips fall where
they will.- - • „•

YOU KNOW
I'VE BEEN THINK/NG
Here are some facts that, are
true,
As they have been of value to
me, ,
I will pass them on to you#
If an unkind word appears,
File the thing away;
If some novelty in jeers,
File the thing away.
If some little clever bit,
Of a sharp and pointed wit,
Carrying a sting with it.
File the thing away.
If some bit of gossip comes,
File the thing away;
Scandalously spicy crumbs.
File the thing away.
If suspicion comes to you,
That your neighbor isn’t tirue
Let me tell you shat to do,,
File the thing away.
Do this for a while,
Then go out and bum that
FILE.
A thought' for the week: You
cannot change the past, but
you can ruin the present by
worrying over the future*
