It’s Your Celebration . . .
Although trustees have been
chosen for the permanent Fourth
of July Committee, and every civic
organization has been asked fo take
part in the anuual celebration, it
seems that many people do not
have a clear idea of the nature of
the committee.
EACH CITIZEN of Seward who is
civic minded is cordially wel
comed to take part in committee
meetings. The affair is being or
ganized for the enjoyment and
benefit of the entire town.
Civic organizations are asked to
extend their civic interest, as they
did in the case of the civic center,
to give Seward a finer celebration.
BUSINESSMEN who may benefit
directly or indirectly are especially
requested to attend the Sunday
evening committee meetings so
that they may present their ideas
for the betterment of the program.
The American. Legion has under
taken the task of promoting the
Marathon Race, besides guarantee
ing prize money for the winning
float in the parade. A number of
organizations have chosen to pro
mote other affairs.
THE PEOPLE OF SEWARD have
shown in the past that they are
very capable of putting big things
over in a big way. With the coopcr
' ntion of all. there is every prospect
that the Fourth of July celebration
will be the most spectacular public
celebration ever staged in Alaska.
All funds cleared on the celebra
tion will be placed in the care of
the trustees of the permanent com
mittee, so that next year's celebra
tion will have a running start. The
Ultinlate purpose will be to further
some worthwhile projec^ for the
people of Seward.
