SEWARD WOMEN
DESIRE PUBLIC
LIBRARY FUND
The Woman's Club of Seward has
presented a proposition to the city
council of that city for the establish
ment of a public library in our neigh
boring town, as follows:
For some months past the Woman’s
Club fo Seward has been working
upon the proposition of a library foi
the town of Seward. To this end we
have been collecting and have beer
promised several hundred volumes te
be used as a nucleus around which tc
build. These books are available as
soon as the founding of a library is ar
established fact.
It is useless to bring to the atten
tion of an intelligent group of men the
great need of such an institution in
___ nnt nnlir fnu fVin (rnnnrol an.
lightenment and culture of our grown
people, but as an aid to our public
schools. The value to the community
of well-selected books in free and easy
circulation is obvious, particularly at
this time, when the education of the
public is the only means we have ol
offsetting the evils of Bolshevik prop
aganda.
Various schemes for financing libra
ries as tried out in other communities
have been investigated and the one
presented below is considered best foi
use in Seward.
Therefore the Woman’s Club of Sew
-ard does hereby petition that the coun
cil of the town of Seward give the
following earnest consideration and
pass such ordinance as shall guaran
tee the present and future support oi
the Seward public library, in conform
ity with the following plan:
That the sum of $1,500 to be used
for the maintenance of the Seward
public library be included in the yearly
expense budget of the town of Sew
ard; that such steps be taken yvhicli
will guarantee this sum yearly with
out recourse to further legal enact
ment; that the mayor be empowered
to appoint a board of regents, com
posed of both men and women, said
board to govern the library and tc
disburse all funds, giving a report
to the city council at stated intervals;
their term of office should be thret
years, one member or more to be re
tired each year, thus insuring that the
majority of the board of regents shall
he experienced in library work.
To the above proposition the Wom
an’s Club of Seward pledge their yoyal
support and volunteer to aid the coun
cil and the board of regents in any
way within their power.
If you change your address, do not
notify the carrier boy—report your
new address to the office.
PUPILS TO STUDY
! CIVIC GOVERNMENT
The pupils of the Seward high
j school have formed an organization to
be known as the Seward High School
| Civic Club. The purpose of the or
j ganization is to discuss current topics,
I study the fundamental principles of
i
civil government, and quicken the
| spirit of American patriotism.
The American's creed has been
learned and adopted;
“I believe in the United States of
j America as a government of the peo
ple, by the people, for the people,
j whose just powers are derived from
the consent of the government; a de
j mocracy in a republic; a sovereign
] nation of many sovereign states; a
j perfect union, one and inseparable,
{ established upon those principles of
freedom, equality, justice and human
| lty tor wnicn American patriots sacri
ficed their lives and fortunes.
"I, therefore, believe it is my duty
to my country to love it; to support
its constitution; to obey its laws; to
respect its flag; and to defend it
against all enemies.”
Paul Guy is chairman and Elsie
Leslie secretary of the Civic Club.
