This the first edition of the Seldovia
• Frontiersman, marks the reappearance of a news
paper in Soldovia after an ^bsancu oi se/ercl
years. It is the beginning of an effort on the
part of your editor to bring to Seldovinns news
of things which har en ■ in our town .
It is my hone' that I will be able to bring
to you news that you will find interesting and.
readable. It is not my plan to reach out into
t world events for topics in the Frontiersman’s
columns. Your radio . brirgs you that nj'"s far
mere quickly than I could ever hope to do in a
papjr that will be printed only twice each
week.
In the Frontiersmen you will read news of
interest about your neighbor, and, yourself. Gos
sip and .rumor . will have no place in this-news.
Tbe Frontiersman will enoeavor to print oniy
those things whicli can be checked and verified
before being published. 'The yardstick against
which . all '"news stories’ will be measured is
"bill it hurt anyone?"
Your help in collecting the information will
be greatly, welcomed < If' you know of social evs
rts, births, deaths or other interesting ‘ hcp
^oninms about neon-lie 'ncwn to Selc-oviars, tell
m.-j about it. The Frontiersman Is ’published- in
the Chamber of Commerce office in "the city hall.
Prop in for a moment’s chat when next you come
this way. '
