THE OLD AMERICAN SPIRIT
of determination and cheerful
defiance of failure was demon
strated again in Seward last
week. In the face of a deficit
from last year, and despite cri
ticism, a determined group of
businessmen and women went
ahead with plans for the historic
Mt. Marathon race and its at
tendant 4til of July celebration,
bringing it to a most successful
conclusion.
The city can congratulate it
self on having so many coura
geous people willing to “stick
their necks out" again for the
betterment and benefit of ''ihe
townspeople. This year's exper
ience should make the 1954 pro
gram easier to promote by en
couraging more people to take
an active interest in the cele
bration plans.
Everyone profits by his mis
takes, and plans are already
afoot to improve the big race
conditions another year. The
Fourth of July Committee has
proved again that it can be done
and with more help it can be
done easier.
Once again— -CONGRATULA

Assistance is needed by the
Girl Scout Council to prepare
the camp on Nash Road for the
summer series of Day Camp
activities planned for this sum
mer.
Severe winter conditions dam
aged tlie roof of the cabin to
tiie extent that it must be re
paired. Gravity flow water is
also feasible if volunteer labor
can be found to install the sys
tem.
Fathers and persons interested
in the Girl Scout program in
Seward, who can give a few
hours of time before July 20,
are asked to contact Ray Rogers,
chairman, or Mrs. J. B. Diesher.
About 100 little girls are
looking forward to the second
summer of camping and will be
disappointed if the program is
delayed through lack of interest
by adults.
Second prize for floats in the
4th of July parade was won by
the Girl Scouts. They wish to
thank all those who made the
float possible—particularly Mrs.
Maggie Edwards. Cecil Cordiero,
Sgt. Lee Haynes and Ray Sef
erovich. This sort of thing is
a great incentive to Scouting,
and tiie Adult Council adds its
thanks to those of the girls.
