A town l what it's citizens make it. We can give our visitors a welcome that they WI remember when they think Seward, or we can allow them to seek their own amusements and time to drag wearily on their hands Seward is large enough to have a public library building. It should also have some form Of club where visitors would be welcome. We have good fishing close by and auto owners could spare the time to run those fond of the sport out to the streams. There are many cheap forms of entertainment which can be prOvid- ed. How about the appointment of an entertainment committee to advise the strangers
