First, let me correct a false
impression caused by misread- J
ing of the story on the 4th of
July committee plans. It was!
stated that the ULTIMATE goal j
of the Committee was to build j
an indoor swimming pool in >
Seward.
It must be understood by all
adult readers that the Commit-'
tee, of which 1 am a member,
does not intend to create any!
false rumors or advertise the j
celebration under the impres- j
sion that we could even begin
to build this year, or even next
year. The Marathon Race must
first be built up into a self sup
porting institution before any
money will be left over. Every
one knows that, and by ultimate!
we mean that, when we can,|
make the race pay for itself j
and create a reserve, then Sew-j
ard will be in a position to build!
that swimming pool and other I
recreational facilities.
WHO IS THE FOURTH OF i
JULY COMMITTEE? Why you j
are! You, and you, and you! ■
Every man and woman in Sew
ard should and must accept a!
share in the responsibility of
promoting our one big publicity ,
and money making event of the |
year. Because every movement

Nothing can ever
lisiied that way.
If you live, and get your liv
ing in Seward, then YOU are
THEY. You are Seward, and
you naturally want to see it
grow, to develop into the kind
of city you want it to be. Pub
licity, good publicity on the cele
bration, and on the coming mid
winter festival, is just the sort
of thing to boost any city.
Sure, we re going to build a
swimming pool, just as soon as
WE, ALL THE PEOPLE of Sew
ard get together and help put
across the means of earning the
money for it! How many of you
will devote a few hours time
(without pay) and work with the
rest of us who are giving many
hours (also without pay) to put
our town on the map?
A community that is worth living ]
in is worth doing something for.
It doesn't have to be big to
be good!
