GOOD-BYE AND GOOD LUCK
The stationing of the Geological Survey vessel U. S. S.
Surveyor, Captain R. R. Lukens, at this port through
out the entire summer, has been one of the most enjoy
able and pleasant visits with men who follow the sea and
the memory of Captain Lukens, his efficient officers and
able crew, will be one of the memories time will not efface
from the people of Seward.
While engaged in their tasks in this district it has
been the custom of Captain Lukens to bring his vessel,
and the two smaller ones, into port every week or two.
This was always a momentous occasion and a most happy
arrangement in that it permitted the citizens of Seward
to become well acquainted with all and from these visits
many staunch friendships have resulted.
The work this season has come to an end and within
a few days the vessel will turn its bow southward for the
winter.
In an endeavor to impart the warm spirit of friend
ship the citizenry of the city hold for these men the Cham
ber of Commerce has arranged, through the hearty sup
port of the business people, a farewell dance this evening
and every man. woman and child is invited as a guest of
the Chamber. The affair is absolutely free and President
Leon Urbach, of the Chamber, particularly wishes that
all will make an effort and attend.
In bidding Captain Lukens and his men farewell the
best wishes of the community go with them and it is sin
cerely hoped they may return again in the near future.
WELCOME HOME MISS BAZANT!
Seward extends her heartiest welcome to Miss Vilma
Bazant talented violinist who, after an absence of seven
years of study in the East, returned home today. Miss
Bazant is on a combined concert and vacation tour and
will bo bp^rd locally, shortly.
Her friends and former acquaintances in Seward,
and thev are numerous, have long been awaiting her ar
rival and she, likewise, has been very anxious to return to
her former home-town from whence she stepped onto the
trail of fortune and fame.
Miss Bazant is the only Alaskan that we know of who
has attained the rank of a real artist in national musical
circles and we ar.e proud she calls Seward her home.
With but one exception, all of the Valdez Grand Jury
cases are from localities west and north of Seward neces
sitating expenditures for witnesses and transportation for
persons held to answer and guards and deputies, which
would have been saved to the government had the present
term of court been held at Seward.
The watermellon has been officially declared, a fruit
instead of a vegetable, as some people once called it. Thus
the Coolidge administration obtains a new hold on the
colored vote.
If all observed Sunday in the quiet, religious way
our grandparents did, the Monday papers would not be
filled with reports of so many accidents and deaths.
