Strictly Suffolk
One citizen said to us last week, "We Iike your
new Sunday paper. It's homey. All those writers —
they're so natural — like the guy next door."
Well, they are the guy next door. As we've
advised many a reader personally, we could be run-
ning Jinn Bishop, one of America's finest journalists,
and Drew Pearson, Walter Winchell, Dorothy Kil-
gallen. Instead, we pay twice as much for Bill Soles
and Bill Tuthill, and Bill Sterling and Norval.
Dwyer.
Because The Sunday Review is strictly Suffolk.
We figured you'd prefer it that way.
Read what a local minister says about love, on
the Religion Page. It's good. Of course he relates
love to God, but the way he sees love, basically, is a
beautiful, a natural way. It's universal. Or should be.
Read Sam Disibio on education. Sam's clever,
caustic, often brilliant. Yet he's just an ordinary guy
who never did much writing before.
Read Paul Stoutenburgh, as unassuming a guy,
and as likable ... he writes simply, naturally,, about
nature, his hobby. And nowhere, we challenge, is
there a naturalist who is more intimate with the field.
Ruth Thayer Clark loves cooking. Her husband's
fat and contented. She writes easily, flowingly, about
her hobby and lifelong pursuit.
Eunice Juckett, too, a woman who likes people,
writes about them with a comfortable ease sired by
an equal love of writing itself.
Princess Nowedonah and Father Mirecki and
Paul Bailey . . all well -known neighbors. And for
the marine scene, bave you caught the 'columns by
Rock Lent, Dan Becker, and Bill Stark? In common
with forty other contributors, they write from the
Suffolk citizen's viewpoint.
Read through the magazine section: Seth Hub-
bard is a Bridge enthusiast, Stosh Groner's home is
overrun with pets, and Marty Gerstein has made "get-
ting to know. children" his ,life's work.
Could any polished syndicate, writer do any
better than Chuck Jones, talking ardently about com-
munity theatre, or Linda Ostrander, whose entire
being sings through an unusual intellect keened by
every chord of music she hears or conceives?
There is talent, Here at home, in Suffolk. And
we thought you'd appreciate our bringing it to you.
These friends and neighbors of yours are fully as
good as the men and women who left home to make
it big in the big time. These, our writers, stayed ;home
to have children and raise their families here: They
enjoy our corner of the world as much as you and I
do. That's why they're here; and we're glad they are.
Aren't you?
