REGISTER NOW, NOT TOMORROW
The citizens of Seward will shortly go to the polls to
elect city officials for the coming year. And this year
promises to be one of the most important in the history of
the city. Hwever, before you can vote you must register
now at the City Clerk's office. Don't let blind predudice
keep you from registering or from voting.
Delay and procrastination over development of Sew
ard's airport wiill never get us any place. No time should
be lost in making an adequate field ready. Merrill says
the field should be lengthened. Is it going to be done?
Forestry week comes next month, about the time
some of our Presidential timber will be sadly in need of
conservation measures.
There are many who are prone to believe that news
papers are paid for expressing political opinions favor
able to certain candidates. If such were the case all news
papermen would be millionaires.
In regard to his attitude on prohibition, no doubt Mr.
Hoover wishes it made clear that his position in the Presi
dent’s Cabinet has nothing to do with the Senate's buffet.
There are a number of politically inclined men in
Seward today but thus far we have seen nothing of any
famous campaign cigars.
For players and politicians alike, fame follows pub
licity.
Party harmony seldom comes without its static.

YOUNG PEOPLES CUSS
AT DELIGHTFUL PIHTT
Merriment and laughter were the
rule at the enjoyable party of the
young peoples class last night at the
Community church. Surprises follow
ed one upon the other. One unique
feature was the fortune wheel which
also picked the prize winners from
among the members of the winning
teams. Numerous exciting and exhil
arating games were indulged in and
appropriate prizes awarded.
After the serving of refreshments
an informal discussion was held and
plans made for the future activities
of the class. Special thanks were
extended to the refreshment commit
tee and to the donors of the delicious
cakes which were especially enjoyed.
The entertainment committee extend
ed its thanks for hearty cooperation
in the inforced absence of one of its
most capable members due to sick
ness. Out of town guests were Mr.
and Mrs. Whittaker. Mr. Whittaker
is a navy radio man on his way from

as he shot with remarkable accuracy

were hoarsely laughing at the recent
tie-up on the road”
