The Midway, closely resem
bling the Board Walk in Atlan
tic City or Long Beach (in
everything but size) will be in
the large lot at the corner of
Washington and Fourth Ave
nue. Food booths with enougli
for everybody, including soft
drinks will be at the same
place.
All children’s races, Lady
Godiva, tug-of-war and after
noon stunts will be conducted
on Fourth Avenue from the
bank corner down to the dock.
The big race will start from
the corner of Washington and
racers will run up Fourth Ave
nue, turning west on Adams
at the bank. Spectators are ask
ed to clear the street for the
race. Runners will return to the
same point.
To watch the climbers, spec
tators gather along any of the
numbered avenues above Adams
Street. Benches will be placed
along streets at the most .stra
tegic spots, but people usually
hunt their own special points
of vantage. It can be plainly
seen from almost any spot in
town, without binoculars, al
thoueh individual runners can
not be identified without the
aid of binoculars.
The Army is providing radio,
walkie-talkie service along the
trail and at the finish line.
At 7:30 the boat races may
be seen from the chv dock,
waterfall, or on the be,. 1 west
of the dock. The boats will
cover a course from the dock
to Lowell Point and return.
Seward Recreation C< a ter is en
tering a boat, p~ well as an
unknown numb-r from town.
Few people realize the large
number of small power boats
now owned in Seward.
The Committee advises all
prospective boat racers, that
every crewman must be wearing
a life jacket to be allowed to
race.
The parade and pet parade
will assemble on Church Street
at the Methodist Church corner
at 9:45. In order to meet the
close schedule laid out for the
many events, it is important that
every event begin at the time
stated in the program.
A special and most interesting
exhibrt of engineering topo
graphical mapping equipment
will be on display on the school
ground. Weasels wil be on the
streets to convey spectators to
and from the school. Helicopters
provided by the 30th Topograph
ical Engineers will put the race
judges on the mountain peak.
All tents and midway are be
ing constructed by boys from the
Engineers unit under the direc
tion of Colonel Free, Command
ing Officer, and Captain Henry
Blum, Special Services Officer.
Captain Blum directed the mili
tary reception of General Doug
las MacArthur upon his arrival
in San Francisco recently. Ho
has been most helpful in all the
4th of July preparations.
Navy boys, part of tlie Navy
Control of Shipping Office here
will assist in handling the num
erous children’s events.
STICKMAN CONTENDER FOR
MARATHON TITLE
Ralph Hatch, 5 time winner
of the Mt. Marathon Race will
meet stiff opposition in the per
son of Don Stiekman who wr><
less than two minutes behind
Hatch in 1950.
Stiekman, w e i g h i n g 142
pounds, is a few years older
than Hatch, but in perfect con
dition. lie has been over th ■
course twice since his arrival
Saturday.
Hatch still has the advantage
of a practically speaking ac
quaintance with every rock on
t He mountain, and his rapid
descent route has been liis own
secret every year. Every con
testant maps out his own route.
Don Sterle, another local
boy, has made marvelous time
iii trial runs of the last few
days. The raco will be the
closest and mo?t exciting of
any year so far.
