I am willing to admit that this paper
may be a little bit corney arid some of
you probably think I am ready for that
mental institution which we have heard
so much about, and which seems to be
needed so desperately for us nuts, who
some of you sane characters seem to
be so concerned about that you have so
kindly decided to provide us with this
most worthy institution**
Aside from all of thi3 I wish to express
my. appreciation to all of you who have
written those wonderful letters saying
that you have enjoyed reading the
Gazette*
I started this paper for■the purpose
of advertising our Tebay Lodge and to
let a few people know about this place
called Chitinav It has created more
interest than was anticipated and has
developed into a nearly full time pro
jecW It certainly is satisfying to
find so many people who are interested
in this part of A laska* Thanks again
for those letters and that includes
those visitors from the States who
enjoyed our little one ghost town and
were kind enough to write and tell ua-»
