BROTHER DID IT BLOW!
When vve remarked last week
that “at last the wind had
started ', we did m>t know how
truly we spoke. Saturday and
Sunday nights were dillies. In
fact, it is said (unofficially) to
have been clocked with gusts up
to 105 miles per hour.
About a dozen chimneys were
blown down? St. Peter's Church
lost its steeple, at least one
truck lost its top, garbage cans,
sheets of roofing, even lumtjpr
sailed around through tire air
and oi'. the streets. Window
glass was blown right out of the
sash. One large van of the
Freight Distributors company
was overturned where it stood.
At the same time, streets were
a solid glare of ice, temperatures
near zero—brothers and sisters,
it was cold!
At about 7:30 one heavy set
man was seen blown off his feet
at the corner of Third and
Adams. He scooted clear across
the street on his knees. Another
man crawled across the same
corner on hands and knees.
As was said before— the wind
is no news to Sewardites, but
we want to back up some of the
statements going Outside to
friends and relatives.

Girl

News
By Mrs. Ruth Cooper
The Adult Association of Girl
Scouts held its regular meeting
at the home of Mrs. Deischer,
the president. Routine reports
and business were discussed. The
main topic of the evening was
the Girl Scout International Fes
tival to be given at the ciose of
International Month, which is
February.
During this month we try to
give special thought to things
that are of importance to people
all over the world, such as good
will, good health, and most of
all, World Peace. In all coun
tries where there are Girl Scouts
or Guides they plan Interna
tional parties, dinners, and other
entertainment, that they might
become better acquainted with
the ways and customs of their
Friends Around the World. In
Seward this year we are going to
have an International Festival.
There will be a buffet supper
•of many dishes, representing the
various countries, a display of
things the girls have done and
made pertaining to scouting
which will be of special interest
to parents. As a climax for en
tertainment Mrs. Kay Johnson
lias been busy in her spare mo
ments teaching each troop a
dance to represent a country.
These dances will be presented
in full costume of the country
they represent. All in all it will
be a gala affair and one you
would not wish to miss. Tickets
will go on sale in about one
week.
New Troop House Sign
In passing our Troop House
hereafter (the Quonset on Sacred
Heart Parish grounds), you will
notice our new sign. The sign it
self was made and donated by
Mr. Mauger of the Mauger Con
struction Co. The painting and
lettering was done by Ruth
Cooper, Girl Scout leader. Mr.
Ed Manthey made the angle iron
from which the sign hangs, and
also attached it to the building
To these people we are grateful
and say “Thank you!”
