WHAT SEWARD NEEDS
The need of a hospital in Seward is vi
tal. Aside from the financial loss to the
city, Seward citizens are taking a long
chance by neglecting this life and death
proposition.
Seward should get busy and secure part
of that Territory appropriation for a land
ing field for airplanes.
A $10,000 whistling buoy is reported
adrift a few miles out of this port. Seward
should have a lighthouse service vessel sta
tioned here. The present instance is but
one of many where the government could
economize and at the same time protect the
vast Westward ocean area.
We’ll get a game warden if we keep at
it long enough.
Also the breakwater for protection for
smaller craft.
The Lowell Creek project is coming up.
Then we want Seward-Kenai lake
highway connected up with Moose Pass.
Free beer for the working girls.
Don’t laugh—we’ll get ’em.
Every citizen of Seward should observe
Memorial Day tomorrow. Buy a Poppy,
and if the spirit moves you, attend the
Union church services in the evening.
THE HARDING MEMORIAL
Tomorrow, Memorial Day, the corner
stone of the Harding memorial at Marion,
Ohio, will be laid with appropriate ceremo
nies. The work on the foundation has been
under way for some time and the marble
work will be started early in June. It is
hoped to have the memorial completed soj
that it can be dedicated November 2, the an
niversary of the late President’s birth, and
the day upon which he was elected to the
Presidency in 1920.
The Harding memorial, which will be
the costliest and most magnificent ever
erected in memory of a departed President
of the United States, with the exception, of
course, of the Lincoln memorial in Washing
ton and the Washington monument, will be
80 feet in diameter and 52 feet high. The
plan is that of a Grecian-Roman temple— i
an open circle of white marble. It occupies
a site on one of the main roads leading to
Marion just south of the Harding home,
from the porch of which Mr. Harding con
ducted his memorable campaign in 1920.
The Harding home was bequeathed by
Mrs. Harding to the Harding memorial as
sociation together with the furniture used
in the President’s lifetime, and all presents,
souvenirs and mementos received during
the Harding administration. The lower
floor of the house has been converted into
a museum and a small fee is charged for ad
mission. The money thus received will be
used to endow the home and erect a larger
building that will be a more suitable store
house for the Harding relics.
Funds sufficient to complete the Hard
ing memorial have been subscribed, but ad
ditional money will be required to complete
the landscape and provide for its proper up
keep. Undoubtedly, the American people
will contribute generously to this fund, thatI
the memorial erected in honor of one of the
most beloved of Presidents, may be main
tained in the right way.
