LADIES 1 MEETING
IT SEWARD PARSONAGE
PROVES INTERESTING
The Ladies Aid of the Commun
ity Church held an interesting
meeting last Thursday evening at
the parsonage. Fourteen ladies en
joyed a “pot luck” dinner at 6
o’clock.
The occasion was the turning in
to the treasurer of the society of
$1 by each member present and the
reporting on how it was earned.
Many interesting stories were told.
Two of the dollars were earned by
sewing, one by writing an article
for a magazine, one by pressing
her husband’s pants, one by sell
ing recipes, another by making and
selling pumpkin pies, one by teach
ing, one by taking in a roomer, one
by tips for extra service, and one
found her dollar. Such are some
of the stories condensed.
A business meeting was held. A
bake sale was planned to be held
on December 12. A Christmas party
for the ladies and their husbands
was planned for December 18, when
an exchange of gifts will be one of
the features of the evening.
After the business was concluded,
games were played. Miss Lillian
Anderson and Mrs. John Rosness
won out in the bean contest. Mrs.
S. J. Urie solved the puzzle con
test best, Cake and coffee were
served just before adjournment
and all went home looking forward
to the next such meeting Sickness
prevented several ladies from be
ing present.
SEWARD STORES IRE
The task of making Christmas
truly merry is all the more import
ant since Seward has so much faith
in the new year; so many fine civic
things to look forward to.
Local stores are now replete in
practical gifts for young, the not
so old and the aged.
As Christmas nears Yuletide
lights will spread more cheer in
emulation of that Star whose ra
diance has grown the brighter with
the passing of centuries.
From now on read the advertising
columns of The Gateway for gift
suggestions; patronize the adver
tisers in The Gateway who make a
daily paper in Seward possible.
Seward stores have stocks worthy
of cities with populations of 50,000
and the prices are moderate.
1L\NDBALL PLAYERS!
Enthusiasts of the Irish indoor
sport, handball, or those who w-ant
to learn the game, are urged to
make use of the gym between the
hours of 5 and 7 p. m. Aside from
the fact it is the greatest condi
tioning game of all, the high school
will need a few extra dollars t-hru
out the winter months. Play now
and pay later when the collector
comes around.

i The Sunday School will not be
held next Sunday because so many
| of the number of those who regu
larly attend have the measles. It
| is planned to dismiss for next Sun
day only and it is hoped that all
may be back in Sunday School
the following Sunday.
This necessary break is regretted
for the attendance has been splen
did lately. In checking the records
of attendance for October and No
vember and comparing them with
the same months for the past two
years, these significant figures
were discovered: The average in
crease in attendance in 1930 was
11 more than in 1929; the increase
in 1931 was 11 more than 1930, mak
ing an average increase in the two
years of 22. The attendance two
years ago was almost double the
attendance of the previous year.
There is a place in Sunday School
for every child in Seward. This
church stands ready to serve the
community regardless of race or
creed. All are urged to attend.
