THANKS . . .
In this our second issue, we wish to take a little space to
sav, “Thank You” to all the folks who made our first issue possible
and gave us the backing necessary to see to it that we continue.
Of course the first Thank You should go to the advertisers
who are the ones who from week to week will keep the wheels
of industry turning. They will assure that Seward has a news
paper to bring news of the community to every doorstep. We
shall endeavor to make it a well mixed balance of news of the
town, and news of goods and services available from local
dealers. *
Next in line for thanks are the many folks who gave us tips
or stories for our first issue. It wasn’t possible for us to follow
up all the leads, but we do appreciate their help, and will en
deavor to follow up and use every little item.
Last, in this little note of appreciation, but most important,
is the thanks we owe the folks who made our first issue a sell-out.
There only remain a few copies — about enough to place in our
files, and about a dozen to spare.
We have another little favor to ask of our readers: Look
through the paper each week, check the advertisements and when
you find a bargain, tell the advertiser that you saw it advertised
in the RECORD. If you see a news storv or little feature you
like, tell the advertisers that you’re sure glad they are making
it possible for Seward to have a newspaper, for they are directly
the ones who make this enterprise possible bv their support, and
they will appreciate it when you return the support.
By the time you read this the Editor will be driving around
in a shiny new car, one that was brought and paid for with
newspaper advertising. In the future, the car will need gas,
tires, grease jobs and perhaps other services, and thus some
garage or filling station is going to share in the prosperity which
was started when someone placed an ad in a newspaper.
What it all boils down to, is that when a town gets a news
paper and they all work together, it is bound to make the area
more prosperous, friendly and a better place to live all the way
around.
Within the past couple of weeks we have had at least two
emergencies which were taken care of by some organized group
dedicated to the job of taking care of that sort of emergency.
The couple of instances we’re thinking of at the moment hap
pened to have been fires, but in that same period the Police
and Ambulance Corps have also been called on to perform their
special kind of tasks, and have, with speed and efficiency, so
quietly that with the exception of a few vitally concerned in
dividuals, no one knew there had been an emergency.
Here in Seward, one of the most talked about emergencies
is fire and over the years, through bitter experience, people of
the area have learned to safeguard against many of the potential
fire hazards. A well-trained Fire Department has been organized
and rules and ordinances have been adopted to safeguard life
and propertv against the menace.
In recent months, another kind of emergency has faced
the people of Seward and has threatened to wipe out or damage
one of the most precious things on earth, our health.
Unlike the fire and police emergencies, there wasn’t any
organized body to meet the need for regulation of our lives to
guard against the spread of the menace. There was no organized
group to assist the Public Health Nurse, the Doctors and the
Hospital in the job of spreading accurate information and spiking
the wild rumors which spread like wildfire through a town
when the pople are not quite sure of what they are up against,
or what they can do to stop the spread of a dread disease.
Next week this condition may no longer exist because a
small group of individuals have started the movement to or
ganize a fighting force to be ready whenever the Health of the
community is at stake.
There won’t be any riding through town on flashing red
fire engines, or racing out the highway to save a life. Just plain
hard work: nothing glamorous or exciting: no snappy uniforms.
Just the knowledge, that once formed, the Health Council may
be able to look back on a job well done: an emergency pre
vented by timely action by interested citizens.
The key to the success of such an undertaking is the phrase,
‘ timely action of interested citizens.” Success will not depend
on the action of some distant agency of Territorial or Federal
government, nor on the City Council. HEALTH IS EVERY
BODY’S BUSINESS, yours, and mine, and a thousand other
people. But we’ve got to work, to be on a te,rm, and be sure
of getting there with the ounce of prevention so we won’t need
the pound of cure.
Some fellers keep on giftin'
belted till they buckle.

If a friend gits in the hole,
put in a plug.

Good horse sense is usually
well harnessed.

Some fellers go crazy all
alone, others have wives that
help.
• • •
Only a blockhead goes
•round with a chip on his
shoulder.
• • •
Tobe Hlnch's wife says that
•t last Tobe can’t kick, he’s
got his leg in a cast.
• • •
We may be wrong but we
never heard of a blind man
joinin’ the nudists.
* * *
Ridge Corner cop brought a
drunk to the hospital and they
said he was drugged; the cop
said yeah, I drug him two blocks
to git him here.
• • •
Yep. sowin’ wild oats with
rye is pretty corny.
• • •
We just don't like argu
ments as too often they prove
us wrong.
• • •
Some folks walk like they
owned the streets, others drive
like they owned the car.
