' OUR ’ CONGRATULATIONS,
! It wis boat encouraging to see the large turnout Tuesday
when the fire siren .called the volunteers from their work*
Fire Chief Ora Jones and several of his men were quick to
"reSpohd arid, they had the pump truck on the scene of the fire
'“• in jig-time* .Also on hand to assist the firemen, had they
^needed assistance, was a large" crowd of men that assembled
from, ail part's of the community at a'rapid pace*
Horner'has been mo st.: fortunate' this winter in not having
"any fires and hope that, our good fortune continues* It is
’reassuring know, however, that our volunteer fire depart
ment Will respond to a call for help so rapidly*
■ TREES WILL FALL "W
We expect to see quite a 'change in the landscape around
Homer this summer* Many areas now covered by forest will be '
"cleared giving the town a "new” look.
/ Whitey Schenck has al ready' changed the appearance of the '
* community somewhat by clearing his'Tour acres behind the ENA *
office and we understand that he intends to do some clearing
On the Heath property to the East later this summerc Other,
sections will undoubtedly be at least partially cleared be
fore summer has flowa,-.
Just how much"building will be accomplished tin thfe cleared '
land is questionableo We hear of numerous proposed projects,
but juht how many .will actually materialize will remain to be
seen. At least one trailer court is scheduled to be built
'before the tourist season is upon us and there is rumor of
another. - ;
Undoubtedly housing will occupy much of the cleared land.
At present" there is little or no housing available in the
community, especially for families with two or.more children.
There is talk of more business buildings to be built in
the coming months• * again we will just have to wait and
~ ase. " ' -f* '
It, is goqd to hear that/an outside interest is considering
bringing a large Sawmill ' to the* area* From all appearances
there will be .a big demand fqr their products and with the
trees falling there will be something for theife to start'on*.
