FINEST PARADE IN YEARS PRE
SENTED DURING FOURTH OF
JULY PROGRAM—VISITORS IM
j PRESSED.
Crash! Bang! Boom! The citizens
of Seward and visitors were awaken
ed Saturday morning, the 4th of July,
to the shattering concussions of a
battery of 21 guns saluting the dawn
and the arrival of the National Day.
Smoke began to pour from out chim
neys shortly thereafter and by 8
o’clock, the streets of the city be
gan to fill up with throngs of peo
ple awaiting the start of the parade,
the first event of the celebration.
And the parade was one to well
be proud of.
Shortly before 11 o’clock, under
the skillful management of officer
of the day, Gus Manthey and a few
•willing assistants, the floats and au
tos were lined up, and headed by the
standard bearers, drum corps and bu
gler, set forth jauntily about the
streets of Seward. Hundreds of
people crowded the walks gazing
with interest at the patriotic and
beautiful scheme of harmony slowly
wending its way along. Clever
clowns and impersonators turned flip
flops and in general created a ripple
of mirth by costumes, and of their
antics.
As cameras clicked and wild blares
from tin horns resounded, twenty-one
automobiles, floats, and dog sled pass
ed in review before the cheering
citizens and visitors to the city. The
prize winner for the best patriotic
float, was the beautiful Colonial
slipper float, entered by Mrs. Mc
Mullen and Mrs. Weybrecht. A gi
gantic slipper of white writh a buckle
of red, white and blue, with four
daintily clad children, was as a gem
amidst a foliage of evergreens.
Owing to the artistic and unique
patriotic float, entered by Mrs. Claude
Shea and Mrs. Erikson, the judges,
were forced to make a special sec
ond award. This float was entitled,
“The Making of the Flag.” The la
dies chose an appropriate subject
for their entree. Highly decorated
in greens and flags, four small child
ren were grouped about the out
spread flag. A living image of The
Goddess of Liberty, with her upheld
torch, stood erect before the banner,
“In God We Trust.” Uncle Sam was
glimpsed diring on the hood of the
motor car.
The best float, other than patriot
ic was awarded to the Pioneers. This
made the oldtimers long for the open

country and the young oldtimers
move about restlessly. A camp scene
was reproduced to the minutest de
tail. An old and soiled tent, which
certainly had seen better days, was
pitched all shipshape and in front
were three sourdoughs setting about
the camp preparing the evening’s
meal, after a hard day’s mushing
over the trail. A Yukon sled, load
ed with an outfit, with five huskies
attached, brot up the rear guard of
the clever effect.
'Sylvia Sexton took first prize in
having the best decorated auto. Her
car was literally covered with a garb
of green crepe paper, to which clus
ters of white daisies sprung from.
The second best award wras won by
the bathing girl’s car. The car was
draped with flags and bunting, it
was stated by a close observer. But
the young ladies themselves! The
bevy of charming Seward feminity,
clad in the newest of styles bathing
costumes, held and filled the eye,
until they disappeared from view.
The bathing beauties consisted of the
Misses Katherine Neville, Helen Bal
derston, Cecil Leslie, Melba Johns
rud, Clara Manthey, Mary Greenfield,
Viola Sheldon, Dorothy Baughman,
Alice Murphy, Betty Dykstra, Mr.
B. B. Green, overseas expert auto
driver, drove the car.
The third best decorated auto award
was won by the Seward Bakery. A
loaf of bread about ten feet in length,
held up by a force of bakers and
helpers. The car was dressed in
white with interminglings of the na
tional colors. Other splendid floats
was the Methodist Church contribu
tion of a car load of children, all
waving a flag.
The children’s float also came in
for much favorable comment. These
children were likewise presented with
flags which were kept in motion thru
out the entire march. McMullen’s
Grocery store had its delivery auto
in line, with decorations adorning it.
The large auto truck from the local
naval radio station, appropriately
decorated and with men in uniform
on it, pleased everyone. Joe Bad
ger with his decorated Ford was one
of the many bright spots in the line
of march.
To Don Shellhorn went the first
prize for the best decorated bicycle.
The best clown was Roberta McIn
tosh. The best male impersonator
was Patricia Ray. The best female
impersonator was Wilfred Stump.
Ernest Bailey walked off with the
award for the best sustained charac
ter.
Judges for the parade were Dr.
Kingsley, of Kansas; \V. M. Per
kins, assistant sales manager for the
