The Homer Chamber of Corn"
merce should lo k into this
one. A recent hews article
from Anchorage tells us that
Fred M. Zieke, manager of the
Matanuska Valley Farmers Co”
operative association, says
that some Alaska town is lik”
ely to be the site of a tan”
nery, shoe factory and other
allied processing plants.
Zieke said that stateside in”
vestors had become interested
in this possibility and upon
completion of his preliminary
survey have asked him to re”
commend a location and present
more details. Why not Homer?
Russell L. Havenstrite<of
the Havenstrite oil firm which
is planning to drill for oil
in the Chinitna Pay region,
says that road building is
going ahead now that the heavy
rains have stopped. Other
work on the camp is going a~*
head as the supplies arrive.
Also along the line of oil
it should be noted that the
Alaska Gulf Oil and Develop”
cent company of Anchorage
plans to start drilling this
summer in the Goose Pay area
just across the Inlet from
Anchorage.

Daily Times. It was written
by Dr. Milo H. Fritz of that
city and concerned statehood.
Among other things, Dr. Fritz
suggests^hat 10,000 Alaskans
get together and establish a
non-profit organization with
branches in all of the prin
cipal cities known as the Al
aska Statehood Corporation to
hold in escrow all taxes due
the feddral government. The
idea being, of course, that
the withholding of the taxes
would bring action on state
hood quickly. When and if
statehood is granted, he says
that the corporation liquid
ates itself and turns ttemon
ey held in escrow back to the
government. Sounds like a
good idea.
Wonder bow many of you
folks realize that there are
several artists here in the
Homer area who do mighty fine
oils and watered or work9
Judging from some of the pain“
ting to be seen in such stores
as the Pioneer Hardware,
Vega’s art and Gift Shop and
Heath’s fl3aska Wild Perry
Products, the Ideal folks do
real fine work indeed. How
ever we understand not all of
the artists paint just to
sell. Some of them p3int just
for the fun of it.
Some of the local names
seen on the store paintings
are Josephine Bowles, Eleanor
Seitz, Diana Patterson Til“
lion, Martha Gage Windeler,
£am Pratt and Ken Heath. Oth
ers who paint include Mrs.
Pratt, Florence Jones, Mrs.
Evans Jones, Mrs. Lindfrink,
Harry Pates and Emery Eobirts.
There are probably more but
this is a good start.
There should be more works
