DAUGHTER OF FORMER
RESIDENT KILLED
Word has boon received from
Mrs. Elizabeth Stillwell, a former
Department of Public Welfare
agent in Seward, that her daughter
and granddaughter were killed in
an automobile accident just before
Memorial Day.
Mrs. Stillwell lost her husband
just a year ago this month, and
with this added tragedy has only
a young grandson who is living
with her in Dayton, Ohio.
Mrs. Stillwell's many friends in
Seward are deeply grieved for her.
Mrs. H. Peterson was guest of
honor at a tea given by Mrs. Oscar
Dahl. The affair took place in the
Dahl's apartment at the New Sew
ard Hotel and was attended by
Mrs. Peterson’s old friends and
acquaintances in Seward.

BOAT TRAIN THURSDAY
The SS Alaska is due to arrive
Tuesday evening at Seward. A spe
cial boat train will come from
Anchorage to pick up passengers
for the interior. The train is sched
uled to leave here at 9 a.m. Wed.
Sewardites who are planning to
attend the President Emeritus Day
exercises at the University of
Alaska on July 1 are expected to
take advantage of this special
train service. No other train is ex
pected to leave Seward on Wed.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT
A recent arrival in Seward from
the States had heard many remarks
about the arrival of the *‘boat
train.” She remarked to several
people that she had never seen a
boat train and would like to do so.
Accordingly a friend considerately
offered to take her down to the
local depot and view its arrival.
“Why. it's just like any ordinary
train!” she said, and asked where
the boat part of it was.
She undoubtedly has several
other surprises in store for her.
On her trip to Hope Monday she
hopes to get her first view of
snow-shoe rabbits. She has been
seriously wondering aloud to her
associates where rabbits get their
snow-shoes. When informed they
were born with them, her wide
eyed expression of incredulous dis
belief was unbounded.

Most everybody is holding his
breath' hoping that the weqther
will give us a break on Sunday for
the big picnic at Bear Lake and
on Monday for the Independence
day celebration.
This is going to be the best op
portunity of the year to get ac
quainted with your fellow towns
men.
One could live in Seward forever
and never know his neighbors on
the next block. Some people prefer
this anonimity, but it seems to me
that in a community more or less
isolated from the world it would
make a pleasanter place if people
would learn to live together.
There is nothing more uplifting
on a gloomy day than to walk
down town and greet or be greeted
by a dozen different acquaintances.
I can’t think of anything better
than an informal picnic to break
down the barriers of strangeness,
so let’s' get out in a big crowd and
get acquainted. There will be food
aplenty and free coffee — games,
contests and all the good will in
the world for everyone who is
willing to participate.
Bring your baskets of favorite
picnic • stuffs and have a really
good time.
I’ll see you there—at least 500
of you!
