Another man has just return
ed to Seward after a three
months visit to the Eastern sea
board. lie brings the same word
that so many others have, to the
effect that ‘“there is nothing
here for me."
He also makes the familiar
statement that “there are so
many people back there.” It
is wonderful to walk down the
street and be greeted by smiling
faces, friendly grins and joyful
badinage. There is no place like
Seward, once it has been one’s
home.
Such an attitude is very grati
fying. These people will make
good material for future city
i m p r o v e m e n t drives. They
should be more willing to accept
responsibility for their share in
city government. They are those
who will support the Chamber
of Commerce activities. We want
Sewardites to vacation and vis
it Outside, then return home,
happy in the advantages of liv
ing in a smaller, friendly town
One hears so much about the
“hardships’’ people face by liv
in'': here. I have tried to com
pile a list of those hardships—
and can honestly think of noth
ing that looms as a hardship
e xc pt po sibly the lack of street
cars, daily train service, con
certs. symphony orchestras, stage
plays, and that sort of thing.
Living costs are high, -but no
higher in comparison with other
places because of the fact that
wages are equally high.
One misses certain fresh veg
tables and fruits—but is that a
hardship, then some people no
doubt, ‘•suffer.’’
As for me—I’ll take the wide
open spaces, and the easy going
friendly living in Seward in
preference to the elbow rubbing
crowds back East where one is
almost limited to the very air
he breathes.
Sewardites may be easy going.
but they are right there in a
pinch. I always appreciate it a
new when the fire siren blows,
and I watch the efficiency and
dispatch with which our boys
handle their problem.
I haven't been Outside for
several years, and have no de
sire to go—Seward is good
enough for me—how about you?

That grunt you hear is a sound of satisfaction. It's the sound of a
happy Mercury owner—adding up his costs for gasoline, tires 1
and depreciation, and comparing them with what he spent
on his previous car. Economy tests show that a new, 3600-pound
Mercury gets up to 72% better gas mileage than the average
U. S. car! What’s more, a Mercury is so lastingly built that
92% of all the Mercurys ever made are still on the highway!
No wonder Mercury has gained the highest percentage of new
owners of any car in America for over 5 straight years!
