Some people seem to have the mis
taken idea that just he cause we
are small they can run over us.
Largo or small when an issue of
a news paper is made up and on
v the "Press", insertions for that
particular issue are impossible.
We do not attempt the impossible.
If yuu desire to insert a news
item, notice or an ad, get up be
fore breakfast and bring it in.
And do not hand it to the first
person you meet with the request
to leave it seme place, for
sbme one to pick up and then cuss
the Editor because if It does not
find its way into’ print/
Cussing sounds like something we
would, rather net' hear and there
might bo ladies present.
We desire to please and accomo
date at all times. Our policy
is to print t he facts concerning
the things of the greatest Inter
est to the people of tho Matanuska
Valley. And BY HECK IF YOU DON'T
LIKE THE WAY WE DO OUR BEST ,
TAKE IT TO THE GENERAL OFFICE.
Where is that misinformed pessi
mistic: person who 3afd the Mat
anuska Valley did not need a
hospital? He won’t hav ,o anything
to say for awhile now. With seven
babies born within a week and
four during one night, we believe
the services of a phyiean nrr’
accomodations of a hospital abso
lutely nocessar y for the p^otoc
tion of human lives. Ho who faros
raise his voice against a hospital
for the Valley can be considered
in sympathy with these foreign
nations who count human lives at
zero*
ilow that we have that off our
chest we fool much Bettor and
can get cur mind on the Pair..
Never brood on your worries
in silonco , air your opinions
and clear the deck for -action.
