CAPT. S. N. DANCEY WILL HAVE
CHARGE OF PROGRAM WHICH
WILL TOUCH PROBLEMS
Seward will have an Americaniza
tion Day program under the auspices
of the Seward Post, American Legion,
which will be in keeping with the Le
gion’s nation-wide Americanization
activities, and all local organizations j
will be asked to help make the day a j
success.
The speaker will be Capt. S. N. j
Dancey, one of the Legion’s interna- j
tionally known speakers, who arrived
on the Alaska and left today for In
terior points. He will return the
third week in September and as soon
as dates are definitely known, Seward
Legionnaires will announce the local
program.
Capt. Dancey has more than five
years’ experience in active service in
France and Flanders to his credit. He
went to France in August, 1914, and
remained until the end of 1919. He j
was a prisoner of the Germans for j
several months, but made his escape.
After Uie signing of the armistice,
he engaged in the fight against Soviet
propaganda. He addressed 50 meet
ings of British troops, 100 meetings in
France and spoke to a million Ameri
cans.
Since his return a little over three
years ago, he has addressed 6.5000
meetings in the United States, Cana
da and Alaska, in an appeal tor a bet
ter understanding between nations
and a square deal for the soldier. His
talk will be of interest to every citi
zen of Seward.
There will be a public mass meet
ing, and a good musical program. The
speaker and audience will discuss the
matters affecting conditions at home.
It is probable that the program
may be planned to incorporate a pre
sentation of one of the most notable
films ever given to the public. It is
one of the Legion’s star Amerizani
zation films and will be better known
by the tiole, “A Man Without a Coun
try.” In this event the program will
be distributed over two days. An
nouncement will be made later.
