THE 4TH OF JULY celebration
and Mt. Marathon Race is the
town of Seward's day. The 4th
of July Committee is made up
of everybody in town, and the
success or failure of the event
is a general responsibility.
In order to make it a general
responsibility, all organizations
in town were asked to appoint
two representatives to form a
board of directors to plan and
carry through the annual cele
bration. Some years have been
failures, others were good. This
year, being the 50th anniver
sary of the founding of Seward
has all prospects of being a very
successful celebration.
This does not mean that
everybody in Seward must not
cooperate to the extent of his
time and ability to make a suc
cess of the race and celebration.
To have a parade, there must be
entrants. To have children’s
events there must be prizes. To
have visitors . there must be
more food than the restaurants
can supply, which means hot
dog and hamburger stands. To
have the Marathon Race pay
for itself will take the full sup
port of the whole town.
Our race is said to be the
only one of its kind in the
world. It is helping to put Sew
ard on the map. Let's keep it
there!

Two other films are to be

APPROVED DRIVEWAYS
REQUIRED ON HWY. LOTS
Home builders along the high
way are being notified by the
Bureau of Public Poads that a
permit must be obtained to con
struct a new approach to a road
to any public highway or to
driveways onto private property.
The driveway must be built
to specification of the Depart
ment. This improvement shall
consist of a driveway approach
six feet wide (or more) and shall
be constructed of rock or earth
surfaced with gravel or crushed
rock at the same elevation as
the highway shoulder. The ap
proach shall slope away from
the shoulder on a minus 2 per
cent grade for a distance of 15
feet after which the grade may
be steepened in either direction.
If the approach driveway
crosses a gutter a culvert shall
be placed at the same elevation
as its present grade before fill
ing over.
Pronertv owners in the area
from Mile 3’ j to Clear Creek
were not advised of this require
ment until recently. Many ac
cess driveways have been built,
but must now be brought up to
specifications or removed, own
ers were informed.
The trouble with our country
is that there are too many wide
open places entirely surrounded
by teeth.
