The editor of the Anchorage Mows takos some S77 of his
•followtov/nsinon to task for not contributing to the United Good
Neighbor fund and pcinjr out that interest in this movement^ seems
‘ to. bo loosing interest in Anchorage • Frankly if we lived in ,
^nchorago wo would bo among the 877 and wo wouldn’t care, who
knew it. Y/e know iroui observation and not hoarsy 'that a largo
port of those funds are lavished on moan minded lazy bums that
frankiy say they prefor to bo whining parasites* If there wore
* any way to determine the facts wo would bo willing to bet Mr.
.inchorage News that the 877 are just as generous as the’ rest of
the people in ^n^horago, but resist the urge to advertise thoir
■ generosity and an offort to see that thoir hard earned
money is used .ore it is either deserved or is effective, or
preferrubly both. .1 lot of people find it easier to givo to
"a gcca cause" than to go to the trouble to see that their
giving really does some good- the most good.
