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?
