MERRY THRONG TOOK
 PART IN THE LOCAL " FOURTH OBSERVANCE

Despite the threatening rains in Seward yesterday many turned to watch and participate in the events staged in the Fourt h of July observance. The program was started off by a parade in which the Seward Girl Reserves and the Seward Boy Scouts or ganizations participated. It made a fine parade to watch as the girls were all dressed in white blouses, with navy blue skirts, blue necker- chiefs, and berets. The boy scouts were outfitted with scout hats and neckerchiefs. In addition to these organizations there was an impersonation of Martha Washing ton by Margaret Courtland, and two decorated doll buggies which were entered in the parade by De- nice Johnston and Mary Jane Hen ry.
 Following the parade the field events were held and they included foot races, orange eating contests, egg races, potato races, apple di- wing contest, pie eating contest, three-legged races and bicycle races.
 Next on the program was the ball game between the Cedar and Seward teams. The Cedar copped this game from the locals.
 The day was wound up at the big Legion dance given in the I. O. O. F. Hall.
