AMBULA ANCE CORPS ELECTS OFFICERS

New officers were elected by the Seward Volunteer Ambu- lance Corps at their last meet ing. They will take office Jan uary 12, 1854.
 John Coleman was elected president; Vern Hoffman, vice president; Jean Began, secretary treasurer. A five member board of trustees was also elected and will be serving for the first time. They are Jim Kirkpatrick, Pat Williams, Babe Kerka, Mickey Coleman and Stan Kerka. The new board is responsible for in corporation signatures of the group and for property and audit of funds.
 Several makes of vehicles for new ambulance were discussed with manufacturer information on hand. No choice has been made to date, mainly because of finance. The car most suitable for the situation in Seward and for highway work seems to be the Cadillac which can carry four stretcher patients. The cost of this vehicle, however, may make it unavailable at this time. Further study is being made be fore any decision will be pos Sible.
