There is one thing about Seward.
There is never any monotony
about living here for anyone who
really becomes a part of it, who
takes an interest in what is going
on. No one can say there is noth
ing to do.
We are capable of the deepest
depression, concerted anger, and
whole-souled jubilation. One look
at the Community Calendar is
proof enough that there is plenty
to do in the way of fraternal gath
erings, religious activities, national
participation, and recreation. We
are rebounding from the mental
and physical strain of the strike.
Then last week the anger over the
supposed slight of the city by Mr.
Skinner’s inspection party did a
great deal to bring the citizens
from every walk of life into com
plete unity of purpose for the good
of the town.
Never was more happy enthusi
asm shown than at the basketball
games over the weekend. Every
man and woman, whether directly
interested in the school through
their own children or just because
the Seward team was victorious,
thrilled with pride and joy for our
boys. Men slapped one another on
the back and it was as though
they themselves had won the
games.
As long as Americans can be so
honestly enthusiastic over good
clean sports, we need know no
worry over our way of life being
lost to communism, nor any other
-ism less gracious.
We will turn out in full force and
full dress in our belief in and sup
port of the March of Dimes Ball
on Saturday, because we are sym
pathetic and generous. Every one
is willing to do all he can to com
bat the dread disease which strikes
down young and old.
Now we are preparing to show
the Navy -what the town lias be
sides scenery.
The Seward Women's Club meets
tonight, and all the senior women
in town are invited to hear a dis
cussion by Mrs. Kirkpatrick, chair
man of the Seward Chapter Ameri- i
can Red Cross; Miss Helen Cass,
Territorial Field Director, A.R.C.,
from San Francisco, and Mrs. Hafe
meister. former Territorial Welfare >
Director, who has recently made
Seward her home. The subject un- .
der discussion is “The Need for a I
Local Public Welfare Board." This ■
is the first move of- a civic group j
to bring this all-important ques- |
tion before the people, and it is j
encouraging to see one of the old- i
est of women's club groups becom- j
ing interested. . |
Orchids today are being passed I
out to our owner and publisher, •
Mr. John Coleman, and his wife.
Not only have they undertaken the
task of revitalizing our newspaper,
they have also presented Seward
a new citizen. Congratulations, Mr.
and Mrs. Coleman!
