flnonouj TO THE CEMETERIES
From Seldovia’s beaches to the city’s two
cemeteries is but a step across the Board
walk in one instance, and a walk of 15 min
utes distance , ip athe. other,, but in either
case it’s a useless waste of. shobleather if4'
the stepper is hoping to find" a more pXeas
: ing aspect - at the cemeteries than he did on
Seldovia’s littered beaches- \ T •. . ■ * _
In both places it takes bu*t ..a glance, to
show that; Seldoyia has; *n<6 '^oribj re^^etyf or
its dead than it has desire for approval
from its passing visitors. The Russian cem
etery, in particularwhich should be. one of*
the tourist highlights of Seldovia because*’
cf its historic significance, is a monument
to civic carelessness and neglect.
Tangled underbrush, weeds and grass over
grow the plots in both cemeteries.* Markers,
in many instances entirely missing, sag and
many of the crosses are weathered and break
ing apart.
The Chamber of Commerce, in the first aw
akening of' a ‘long-slumbering civic pride*
has decided that something - -.should b>e ,done *
but is loath to undertake the needed clean
ing work on its own* So th3 .'job c bine s' sduare
ly back to you*and you and you and me -- all
of us who live ih Seldovia :dndHwh-b‘*tfSel that,
our town ought to be as beautiful a spot to
loek at from the Boardwalk as it is.from a,
quarter of a mile away' on Seldovia Bay.
This i's a ,iob that should be done soon.
Itf s a .]*6b that can be accomplished only by
setting a day aside and getting to tha ceme
tery with hoe and weedar, hammer and nails,
f#r a good dayfs work at repairing and
cleaning.
Thy not talk to your neighbor tonight and
fiv a day n3xt week when together you can do*
your share of the work?
