ENGINEER BATTALION
MEN CLEAN UP
SEWARD CEMETARY
Last wool; Seward's burial
plot presented a pretty sorry
appearance, following the sum
mi r's dense overgrowth of grass
and brush since the Memorial
Day cleanup.
This week, passm'shy were
amazed to find the cemetery in
a very presentable condition,
cleared of all loose material and
brambles, with the grass neatly
crooned and the paths outlined.
Entirely responsible for this
improvement was a volunteer
group from the 30th Engineer
Topographical Battalion, who
thereby added another page to
their splendid record of public
service to the community they
temporarily called their homo.
Sam Romnck’s famous old
landmark, the Seward Bar. is
getting a complete fan lift. The
two-story building is be mg cov
ered with handsome white in
