Reporter's Notebook
An earthquake o£ rather sharp
intensity shook Seward Wednes
day afternoon at about 3:15. The
long rolling rumble ended in a
heavy jerk that shook buildings
enough to startle everybody.
Mrs. Emma Renwald is plan
ning to leave Seward June 1
for Portland, Oregon. Mrs. Ren
wald has given up the hotel
here for an easier life, for a
while at least. Those who know
her do not expect her to stop
working for very long.
A fire alarm about t> pan.
Thursday called firemen and a
big crowd to the school building.
Word got around fast as the
school kids downtown heard the
word. “Heck." one was heard to
say. “school's out now. ' A mix
ture of disappointment and re
lief seemed to permeate the
younger set when it was dis
covered that the fire was in the
rear of the building where prep
arations for tarring the roof
were under way. The building
sustained no damage.
Gene Snydt r, Kay Anderson
and all the local boys who are
in the Army, with the excep
tion of Dick Mattson, are now
assigned to duty at the Recrea
tion Center right here at home.
We are wondering how many
other Sewardites are from the
State of Nebraska. They are
asked to get together in a re
union at 2 n.m. Tuesday, June
2 at the Methodist Church for
a celebration within a celebra
tion.
The f:rst cement barge of the
season arrived this week at the
docks of the Sup- ricr Portland
Cement works. Seasonal w ork in
the Interior was slow getting
started this year, because of the
delay in government contracts.
It is beginning to boom now.
however, and cement will pour
in hero at a steady pace .
Extensive repairs have been
made at the docks of the Seward
Fish & Cold Storage Company
in preparation for a heavy sea
son. New piling and dolphins
were driven on the dock used
by the cement barges and the
one used by the Northwest
Freight and Dock Company. The
property is owned by the city
but under lease to the cold stor
ago company who has done the
work.
The Army Recreation Center
will open with a bang the same
week, in fact, the same day on
which the Bluebirds from Ne
braska arrive. Perhaps every
body should rest up as much as
possible next week so as to be
ready for the big week of events
to follow. But don’t let up on
that ticket buying!
