Isn't it wonderful how one day of
sunshine like today can make us
forget a «whole month of bad
weather and all agree that this is
the most wonderful climate in the
world? I heard Father Toner, The
Mission Priest say on the radio
that he had traveled over a hun
dred thousand miles in the United
States and that nowhere had he
seen more magnificent scenery. He
said, though, that he feared that
we in Seward lacked a full appre
ciation of our scenery because he
saw people walking on the streets
with their heads down and eyes
on' the snow at their feet. I
I hope the good Father will for
give me if I issue with him on
that score, because I cannot stand
aside when 1 hear the people of
Seward misunderstood. Perhaps
Father Toner had not realized that
we know from experience that in
certain weather one must of neces
sity watch his footing because
broken bones and painful bruises
can result from slipping on icey
streets. Many times, however, I
have seen cheechakos and old
timers alike standing in the middle
of the street exclaiming over a
sunrise, watching the clouds of
snow blowing on the mountain
tops trying to catch the delicate
colors and cloud effects by camera,
and in most cases our people are
greatly conscious of possessing or,
being possessed by, the most gor
geous scenery in the world.
It is true that we may not all
deliberately thank God for it at
every glance, but, methinks that
it may be having some saving ef
fect on the morals of the place,
because, really, I cannot find Sew
ard any worse than other cities,
and a little better than some. But
then, it may be that I am preju
diced.
Orchids today certainly belong
to the workers in the March of
Dimes campaign. Mrs. Harding
and the girls on the Health Coun
cil. and Mr. Gilfilen deserve the
highest commendation for their
work, and the people who contri
buted over four hundred dollars to
a single benefit so soon after the
recent financial strain are a com
bination that cannot be beaten.
Once again. I am so proud of us! j
