“One bird i'lying overhead does nol!
attract much attention, a great flock I
causes everyone to stop and look . |
The City of Seward has many points j
that attract the attention and causes !
comment from our visitors. Our line j
harbor, our clean, large and well-laid- i
out city, the beauty of our surround- j
mgs, our ideal geographic location as j
a distributing point and the excellence
of our garden anti lawns.
Heretofore certain of our citizens :
have taken a great deal of trouble and
shown a deal of pride in arranging and |
planting of gardens. No official rec
ognition rns been given these persons
prior to this time on the good they
have rendered the community, aitho
without question they were aware of
the appreciation of the entire city.
The gardens throughout Alaska last
summer created such an interest on
the part of the visitors from the States
that a great portion of Alaskan pub-:
licity and descriptive articles on the
visits of Alaska’s distinguished guests j
—was devoted to the surprise occa-;
sioned by the beautiful gardens and ;
lawns.
The Seward Women’s Club has j
shown initiative in institutin ga City ;
Beautiful campaign for the coming,
Spring and Summer. Prizes are being |
offered as follows: first $25, second j
$15, third $10, and fourth $5.
These prizes are being awarded by
the Womens’ club and in addition the
Gateway has already offered a prize
which was accepted by the Club, other
merchants in the community have sig.
rtified a willingness to contribute ad
ditional prizes,
The contest will start June first and;
final judgments will be made on Sep
tember first. The points on which the
gardens will be judged are, first, best

use of available space, (this will gi'C
everyone an equal chance); second, the
beauty of garden plan and plants,
third, care of garden throughout the
contest; fourth, neatness and cleanli
ness of general surroundings. Every
garden in town will be judged, but in
order to guard against the judges over
looking a garden, the citizens are re
quested to list their gardens with the
chairman of the judges’ committee.
The committee of judges appointed
are Mrs. Chas. Hinde, chairman, Mrs.
L. V. Ray, Mrs. Henry Thoday, Mrs.
P. C. McMullen, Mr. Elwyn Swettman.
The Chamber of Commerce is coop
erating with the ladies in an endeavor
to assist them in all ways ossible and
it is possible that some time in the
near future we shall have a “Garden
Week” during which the stores and
business houses will carry displays
and otherwise assist persons desiring
to plant gardens. We hope this sum
mer to have some of the gest gardens
in Alaska, and the attention this will
attract on the part of the visitor will
influence to a great extent the pleas
ure of his visit in our community.
And, oh .by the way—the committee
would like those merchants offering
prizes to list them with the Gateway
•-0 that they may be published.
