I ANYWAY, IT'S DIFFERENT
We know—no sports page, no
\ Valdez page and no editorial
i make it an unusual Valley
; Frontiersman this week. How
i ever it couldn't be helped. Flu
i germs have invaded the prini
I shop to lay workmen low, and
Valdez weather must be some
thing nobody can write home
; about this week. Anyway, the
I airmail wasn't getting out. at
the time Frontiersman copy
should have been on its way to
us.
We'll do better next week.
