A group of people in Seward
who have put themselves to a
great deal of inconvenience to
offer service to others is the
Seward Volunteer Ambulance
Corps. They have given time to
the study of first aid, which re
quires a minimum of 18 hours
study to obtain a permit card.
Men and women have given time
and money to repair the old ve
hicle; they have gone in the mid
dle of the night to give first aid
and transportation to the sick
and injured.
No one in SVAC receives any
pay for services. A charge of S10
is made for use of the ambu
lance, however. This has not
come anywhere near paying for
upkeep of the vehicle and for
(lie laundry which has to be done
after every trip.
THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT
GLORY HUNTERS, as has been
charged by some. Very few Sew
ardites know the names of indi
viduals in the Ambulance Corps.
They do not advertise them
selves—only their service, which
at times is done without receiv
ing payment even for use of the
car.
There is one thing, however,
in which they are asking cooper
ation. They ask that the am
bulance be given right-of-way
on streets and highways. On a
recent trip out the highway, a
driver refused to let the ambu
lance by. For eight miles they

were kept at a very slow speed,
even though the red light was
on and the siren blowing. They
were on their way to the scene
•of an accident, and only got past
at a F&WS road block where of
ficers waved them on.
That driver who prevented
help at an accident may be the
next one to be lying on the side
of the road praying for quick
aid.
Since that trip, the SVAC
drivers have been informed by
law enforcement officers that
the ambulance lias absolute right
of way on the highway. They are
instructed to report the license
number of any car that obstructs
their passage, and that there is
a stiff penalty for such an of
fense.
It is hard to believe that any
one would deliberately hold up
an ambulance. Since it has been
done, however, it may be well
to repeat the law concerning this
case. Drivers, upon the approach
of an ambulance must observe
the same rules as those set for
fire equipment. Draw over to the
side of the street or road, dim
your lights and stop until the
vehicle is safely past.

LUCINE AMARA DELIGHTS
SEWARD AUDIENCE
By Arlhur Knight
Sewardites were treated to a
brilliant evening of music last
Wednesday when Miss Lucinc
Amaia opened the Winter Con
cert Series here. Miss Amara
displayed a magnificent voice,
which, when she so desired, fill
ed the auditorium with case. Her
interpretation was faultless and
her control something to marvel
at.
To this reporter, the high spot
of the evening came with Miss
Amara's performance of "Chere
Nuit,” which although decep
tively simple to the listener,
required the full use of her
capabilities. She did it beauti
fully, and the audience was
fully appreciative.
Mr. Don Jones, the accom
panist, was outstanding in his
inconspicuousness. As he him
self said after the concert, Ac
companiment is .an art, to be
studied by itself.” Mr. Jones
has mastered this art wonder
fully well.
A reception was held in the
church basement alter the con
cert. The reception was spon
sored by the Business & Profes
sional Women's Club with Mrs.
Pearl Milroy as chairman of the
committee. Tea and cake were
served to the many guests who
wished to meet the artists.
