A rousing meeting of all commit
tees for the Fourth of July celebra
tion was held last night at the Fire
Hall, with practically every member
of the divers committees on hand,
marking the intense interest in mak
ing the coming holiday the best
ever. Elwyn Swetmann, was unani
mously appointed general chairman
over all the committees and whipped
into action immediately upon taking
the chair. The meeting was called
for the purpose of presenting re
ports of progress to date and the
following gives ample testimony that
every committee is and has been,
hard at work.
Committee Reports..
A complete list of events and priz
es to be awarded was submitted by
the sports committee, Gus Manthev
and J. S. Rood, and was approved
in its entirety. The program is pub

aside on the Fourth of July for the
purpose of observing Defense Day.

the local American Legion post, as
chairman of the Defense Day Com
mittee.
The music and dance committee
reported the Dreamland and Odd
Fellows hall had both been donated
to them for the occasion, and that
the music was Tarin' to go. Pat
Hussey and W. Stump represent this
committee. With respect to the
1 brass band, everything is humming
I along and Seward can shortly boast
j of a brass band with nearly 20
; members. This news seems to be
doubted by quite a number, it is
reported, but the facts remain, un
! der the tuition of Band Master Arm
I strong, he is rapidly whipping into
I shape, a group of melody whose blast
‘ will echo to McKinley Park.

Martin Lanning, the moving spirit
of the celebration, started in today
with a gang of three men, tacking up
the posters all over town. The noise
emitting from the lusty smacks of
hammers from these chaps, sounded
like a machine gun in action.
