Miss Lorena (Red) Stolp was
honored by three birthday parties
given by her friends on Friday, Sat
urday and Sunday evenings. As a
birthday gift she received an ex
traordinarily fine gold wrist watch
with heavy gold expanding wrist
band. None of her friends would
say just who was responsible for
the gift, but “Red" said she will
always prize the letter that came
with it.
Dennis Dee celebrated his eighth
birthday last Saturday with a party
at his home.

but for the first time in all sum

broken through.

Those people who missed the
Simeon Oliver lecture and concert
at the Methodist Church last Fri
day, really passed up superb enter
tainment.
Mr. Oliver, while talking chiefly
to the children, proved most inter-j
esting, entertaining, and the ease'
and charm of his manner won him
many friends. ■
Music presented by the choir was
particularly pleasing. Unlike many
small town choirs, the voices were
well blended, with a sweet and
’delicate balance, the selections ap
parently having been made with
a definite consideration of the
combined ability of the singers, j
Good training and perfect con-,
trol of an able director was very
evident. We hope that Miss Calnan
and the choir will give us. more
good music throughout the year.
I -
Woo is me! The Cradle Rocker
has offended the Old Timers. There
is some objection to last week's
observation that I would don my
“long johns” and prepare to battle
the snow for the next six months.
The long johns, of course, were
figurative, so far as I am con
cerned. but I'm sure that if my
work kept me out of doors all day
I should be glad to have them.
As for six months of snow, I
checked up on last winter and dis
covered that snow fell in Novem
ber and there was still snow’ in
April—which makes six months.
It is not our intention or wish
to discourage any prospective visi
tors to Seward, because we know
that on the whole we have finer
weather than many of the states
in the Pacific Northwest, but surely
it is better to have people arrive
prepared for some disagreeable
weather, than to delude them with
the idea it is perfect and have
them unhappy, and saying they
have been misinformed.
As for temperature, it must be
common knowledge that we sel
dom have below zero, while in Ore
gon, Washington, Northern Califor
nia and the Midwest, the ther
mometer has registered 20 degrees
and less already this fall, while in'
Seward it still has not fallen below
i 34 degrees.
I We can argue this weather busi
! ness until Kingdom Come and
never be able to do anything about
it. Whether we should proclaim
abroad the unpleasant as well as
the pleasant seems to, be a matter
of opinion. As for me, winter is
winter, wherever you find it, and
I don’t like to be cold here any
better than I did anywhere else,
but I’m certainly not going to let
it spoil my happy life.
