MMMTHON NOW IS II
NUMBER OF ENTRINTS
High social circles of Seward will
be chagrined to learn that Alfred
“Gigolo” de Mers of the U. S. S.
Discoverer has renounced his claim
to entry in the “800’’ of Seward so
ciety, and instead is devoting his
talent toward winning the sleep
ing marathon aboard the Discover
er.
“I am following the path of least
resistance, just like a streak of
lightning,” said de Mers. “My tastes
are keener for this marathon than
for the conquest' I had begun in
Kodiak and was continuing in Se
ward.”
Joe “Musclebound” Quinn, laden
with his duties as official greeter
for the Discoverer, has delegated
his office as timekeeper for the
famous 1932 sleeping marathon to
Paul Mexicano Fisher, trainer of
wild horses.
“I shall endeavor with the ut
most of my skill to be ever fair, alert
and accurate in the important task
of timing the various contestants,’’
Mexicano said in his speech of ac
ceptance
Fisher announced the present line
up of contestants in the following
order: Wildcat Cotick and Kodiak
Hazelton-- neck and neck; Little
Aspirin Cohen, third; Lord Bilge
water, fourth; Eddie McLean, fifth;
Chips Blake, sixth; Gigolo de Mers,
seventh.
The sleeping marathon will be
wound up on the Fourth of July.
Timekeeper Fisher anticipates more
entrants in the immediate future.
Mrs. R. C. Ingram and Mrs- I.
Dyer, left today on the mixed
train for Moose Pass. Mr. Ingram
and “Bud” leave later in the day
by motor car to join their wives in
th garden spot of the North.
NO SOLICITATION
In view of the fact that ready
cash is less available this year than
it has been in years past, the fol
lowing suggestion for the Fourth of
July celebration was made at a re
cent meeting of Seward Post No. 5,
Almerican Legion: That the size
and scope of the celebration this
year should be determined by the
amount of funds contributed.
No committee will call on you.
Messrs Hopkins, Sheldon and Chil
berg have been authorized to ac
cept contributions, or they may be
mailed direct to the Seward Post
of the American Legion. A list of
those donating and the amounts
donated will be made public from
time to time. On June 20th the
amounts received will be totaled
and the celebration planned.
