OPEim letter to
FIRE CHIEF JGnES
Mr* Ora Jones, Tire Chief
Homer Volunteer Fire Dept.
Dear Mr. Jones:
I m sh to commend you and
your department for your
tireless efforts in the field
of fire-fighting in the ^Horner
area, I do so at this time
because I feel X pavp a‘spec
ial sympathy for your‘recent
experience—the loss of .Wal
ter Khristensen*s building—
which I knovtf was dishearten
ing to you.
Sane people feel that the
sick should pay for the' open-* *
ation of the hospital* * by*
the same token, I suppose*,- -
these people feel that those
wno nave fires should support
the fire department! I am
happy to say tnat I do not
share this warped , social
.philosophy* Until such "time
as ,we can learn to woBk.;t6~~
gether for the common good,
for its own sake, we are cer
tainly immature as a commun
ity.
It is my u*derstanding
that for 10% «f c#st a fine
* tanker would be available to
us# Personally, I wish it
-were possible for the Public
Utility District t# make tax
j#rQfi,ni^S' ;_aya^la(ble . for .this
a -pur^nas;©,* Upfprtiina tely ;;>fe
; are .already #bligated l»ey#n&
■ itsh.e. ~ scope of what #ur tax
revenues can cover; therefore
trmoney fnr the tanker would
have tt come frtm some other
source,
"The sum total of the#c#m~
mon sense of the common peo
ple is the greatest and
soundest force #n .earth.
Those words were uttered by
one much wiser than myself,
and I have always remembered
them for their simplicity and
adequacy. It Is CQfidkOrj SENSE
to have the hospital; it is
C0iVL..0to SE.mSE to have a tanker.
<ie can nave both if the Mcomr
mon people” (and that in
cludes all, of us) will get
together and work toward
these goals.
Sincerely yours,
Mrs# Margaret S. Anderson
. LEAVE FOR SEATTLE
Mrs# Harry Foyer and girls
■Patsy and June, ‘ left Homer
Friday for Seattle where they
will visit friends and -rala
.tives for about a month.
KENal CIVIC LEAGUE
The Kenai Civic League met
Monday evening with 12 pros
'ent, rfaldo Coyle presiding.
Jacqueline Sewell, secretary,
made a report on the spaghet
ti dinner which she supervis
ed.
Casey Jones, chairman of
the building committee, re
ported that the following
used the Civic Building dur
ing the month of January: By.
Kepler, the Public Health
Burse, the firemen, th^ li
brary, Homemakers, Employment
Security Commission, fisher
men's organization and the
'Civic’League.
' * 4’A-special meeting has been
•called for the 20th of Febru
ary at (j p.m, in the Civic
Building * to* -ma^e. definite
plans and'fprk cdramittees for
the procuring and moving of a
2iklbd "foot building that is
located at Skilak Lake and
that is to be sold. -If the
League purchases the building
many volunteer workers will
be needed to ready it for
moving and to help in the
actual process. There will
have to be road crews every
day to help in the moving, to
direct ‘traffic, to ready a
place for 1 the building -each
night after work. Estimates
are that it can be moved only
15 to 20 miles a day. This
project will take a lot #f
work, a lot of manpower and,
in particular, a man to di
rect the whole job. anyone,
‘member of the Civic League or
not, who could*give some time
and know-how,1 is urged to at
tend. ^he meeting on the 20th
of February.
The community badly needs
such a hall 'for large meet
ings, fcrr movies, and for
dances.' -as it is now, all
meetings are held in the li
brary room. * It is hoped to
pull the new building, if we
get it-, next to and ultimate
ly‘attach • if to the present
structure.
