The
C\udk o/laclki
By Mildred Kirkpatrick
Sunshine, blessed sunshine!
Makes everything look better,
doesn't it'.’ Even to the dust, and
the holes in the street—at least
you can see clear to the bottom
of them now, with a nice shiny
surface around the edge.
Even the news is brighter. The
man says Seward is going to get
an airport, and just to prove it to
the skeptics, there is a map to
cut out and hang upon the wall.
It could be labeled “Seward's
Perennial Dream.”
All kidding aside, it is our
firm opinion that Mr. Tony
Schwamm deserves a vote of
thanks for getting the plans and
negotiations completed even for
the 1952 construction season. He
met with opposition from several
quarters as well as financial dif
ficulties on appropriations.
Part of the argument against
{lie Seward airport was that this
city has railroad and highway
transportation as well as a small
airport already, and there were
other communities in greater
need. Mr. Sehwamm had to sell
the Seward airport in Washing
ton before he could get the final
approval, secured tins week.
That does not change the pic
ture that the reside nts of tins
area h a v e formed of Mr.
Sehwamm as opposing personal
ly the proposition of an airport
at Seward.
In the case of a run-around
such as Sewardites think they
have had on the airport deal,
someone has to be the whipping
boy, and we are somewhat in
doubt as to who is the fall guy—
Mr. Sehwamm or the City of
Seward,
It is a little difficult to whip
up enthusiasm on an old story,
but we do have a little more to
base our expectations on now.
In fact, the airport does look like
a sure thing for 1952, unless
there is some hitch in contract
awards.

proximately a o'clock v/1k n
15v- roll Skinner made a forced
landing on the sire l back of
the school.
Skinner was at the controls
of a Piper Super Cub owned by
Safeway Airways. Tip was cir
cling for the airport when his
engine conked out. Seeing that
he could not mal e the airport,
ii headed lor the school ground,
Skinner said. He veered to the
street when he saw children
playing and set the plane down
between wires and poles safely
until it was caught by the wind
and blown against a telephone
pole. The wind was blowing in
gusts of between TO and 45 miles
per hour at the time.
Only slight damage was done
to one wing tip on the plane,
and the pilot was unhurt. In
vestigation showed water in the
carburetor had caused the en
gine failure.

There's never a dull moment behind the wheel of this
beautiful 1951 Mercury! First you discover how eager ano
responsive a car can be. Then you find that Mercury gives you
up to two free gallons in every ten with Touch-O-Matic
Overdrive.* But the keenest pleasure comes when you learn
what a sharp investment you've made. Surveys show that
92% of all Mercurys ever built for use in this country are still
going strong. Economy and stamina like this mean top
trade-in value later on. Have you priced a Mercury lately?
