Letter to the Editor
Box 572, Kenai, Alas.
Jan. 8, 1962
The Editor,
Oheechako News,
Kenai, Alaska.
Pear Loren:
We wish to correct a story in
the January 5 Cheechako News
which stated that two possible
sites '‘are under consideration” by
the Central Kenai Peninsula Hos
pital Association for the proposed
hospital.
Those reportedly named at a re
cent meeting: of the Soldotna C
of-C included one “near Pickle
Hill on the Kenai Spur Road” and
one “across the Kenai River out
of Soldotna.”
The story as published under a
Soldotna dateline is totally in
correct. Neither of these sites is
now nor have they ever been un
der consideration by the Associa
tion, The fact is that NO location
has yet been given, even cursory
consideration. As of this date all
areas of the Sterling, North Kenai,
Clam Gulch triangle are still wide
open as prospective places for the
facility.
'The recommendations of the
Soldotna Chamber of Commerce
will, of course, be welcome. And
a hearing will soon be held there
to get opinions of the Soldotna
people as has already been done
in Cohoe and Glam Gulch.
Sincerely,
DAN HARLIN,
President
JAMES E. FISHER.
Chairman, Site Com.

Kenai Teenagers
Form Car Club
Kervai Coachmen, a oar club
recently organised in Kemti by
and for teenagers, is being aided
•by George Robinson and his wife,
Pat, Robinson assisted in the or
ganizatkm of the club and is
serving as its advisor. W. A.
Steinauer will also assist the
teenage group which it interest
ed in the repair and operation of
jalopies.
The group eventually hopes to
raise enough money to build a
garage to work in and to get a
supervised drag strip. In the
meantime, - the Kenai Bays eom
iiiiftee has loaned the club a
large tent m which to repair the
jalopies. This tent is being erected
on the Robinson property, two
miles south of Kenai.
Tools are urgently needed by
this group, says 'Steinauer. The
loan or gift of tools will be much
appreciated. Experienced mechan
ics to supervise the work and give
instructions are also needed.
