The G,adGe Roe9e4

The people of Seward have long expressed their desire for some form of recreation for the younger generation and when the former USO was purchased from the Army by the city. a way was opened for the fulfillment of this desire. Thus the Seward Athletic Association was formed in the month of January, 1949
 The sole purpose of this organi- zation was to provide for the man. agement of the USO building, now the Seward Civic Center, in such a manner as to benefit the majority of the residents of the City of Sew ard to provide centrally located place of recreation for both chil- dren and adults and to attempt to relieve the taxpayers of Seward of the financial burden which was and is necessary to maintain the building The Seward Athletic As scciation, comprised of various local organizations, have selected representatives who in turn make up the Seward Civic Center con- mittee. This committee at their first meeting elected the following as their officers:
 Firemen representative, Van C. Nyman, president; Elks Club, Art
 Mckeough. vice president P-TA. Bea Davis, secretary; W.S.C.S., Vera Bogard, treasurer.
 The activities committee with Peggy Beissner as chairS1an is re- sponsible for the daily schedule which will be published once a month or as often as necessary The finance committee, Vera Bo- gard, chairman, is very much oc- cupied in attempting the operation VI thS LUIGI ShdtiilS anu OtlieI activities at the lowest prices pos sible. Mir Harold Maxwell was employed by the committee at the beginning of the project and has proven himself equal to the gigan- tic task of coping with 60 to 30 youngsters at one time. One of the first acts of the committee was to order 100 pair of small skates to supplement the larger skates turned over to the Seward Athletic Association by the Lions Club
 There are tickets on sale now that entitle children to skate at cost of II cents for each 2 to hour session provided the skaters use their own skates. or p cents for the same period if the Civic Gen. ter skates are used. These tickets are S400 for children up to and including the age of l2 years. Adult tickets are $500 which is equivalent to II or 23 cents a Ses- sion, depending upon the skates furnished Adults may also skate for 50 cents a session if a ticket is not desired This is less than 4 of the cost of skating at other places in the Territory or the States.
 Organizations desiring the use of the Seward Civic Center for skat- ing parties or for any other acti- vity are requested to get in touch with Harold Maxwell at as early a date as possible in order that the ! time desired may be worked into 1 the future schedule Skating par ties from 10:0O pm. to 12:00 mid | night may be very easily arranged 1, on short notice.

On Wiretappinq
By the Associofsd Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 19.-Ten of
New York City's 20 Congressman
met at City Hall with Mayor Will
liam ODwyer today to hear about
q city investigation of the politi-
eally-explosive wiretapping case.
Representative Celler, who called
the meeting said it was for the
purpose of getting information
and to determine whether any
thing should be done"
The unusual City Hall session
has aroused speculation that a
Congressional inquiry into the al
legged plot to tap telephones of
public officials may be under con-
sideration.
Meanwhile, Mayor ODwyer
made no comment on the latest
jab by multi-pillionaire Clendenin
j. Ryan, selfestyled reformer and
arch foe of the city administra-
ton.
MIR. Ryan. after testifying yes
terday for the fourth time before
grand jury investigating the af-
fair, said he had proposed that
Mayor O'DWyer himself be in
dicted in the case.
II just suggested to the district
attorney" Mr.. Ryan told news
men, that he could get himself
out of this mess by indicting
ODwyer for trying to put some
thing over that did not exist
something like fraud"
Mr.. Ryan said the grand jurors
"just grinned and laughed" when
he made his proposal.
Later, he revised his suggestion,
and called for indictment of "all
participants in opening the city
inquiry for perpetrating
fraud"
II raise the question as a Sc
rious matter" his statement said
Mr.. Ryan. who has been called
"another crackpot" by Mayor
ODwyer. denies he has done any
political prying by using tele-
phone wire-taps.
