FEW. To Observe
 Nuf'I VIEW. Week
 With ".22" Gun Shoot
From VIEW. Post No. 3936

January 24th to 30th is Ma
 ional VIEW. Week and Seward Post No. 3836 joins the rest of
 he Nation in extending its local members congratulations. In the
 immediate past the post has had hard row to hoe, as many of you no doubt know, and the only way your local post can succeed
 is by having the support of you nen and women eligible, and by taking an active part in the op- eration of your post. Any busi- hess, union or fraternal organi- zation is only as strong as those men and women who support it. In reforming, your local post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars needs your help more than it has in the past. The potential membership of the V.F.W. in Seward is more than adequate to make this one of the leading posts in the Territory. By taking an active part in your local post and its operation you are not only helping Seward but you are helping yourself. Laws are being passed that have great bearing on you as Veteran, not only as far as past service and benefits are concerned but as to what you will have to look forward to in the future. You, as an active member of your local post of the American Legion or Veterans of Foreign Wars will have a more definite chance of being heard as to what you be- lieve in as law, and instead of having something pushed through that may do more harm than good you can join your voice with the thousands of other organized Veterans the world over and make your pleas heard.
 Sitting back in comparative comfort now it is rather hard at times to realize that such things could happen, or if they did happen that they would ever effect you. By then it may be too late and you'll regret that you didn't take more active part in Veterans Affairs through your local Post of the Legion and VIEW.
 This, the 55th Anniversary of the VIEW, is your chance to start taking an active part in your local posts doings. Seward Post No. 3836 needs your help and support in reforming, per haps more than if we were start ing originally, and this, National VIEW. Week, is your chance to join up and pledge your support to an organization that belongs to you.
 "22 SHOOT" WEDNESDAY
 To get acquainted with other Veterans and to give you chance to get acquainted with your local post, we are having a "22 Shoot" Wednesday, Jan uary 27th at 7:30 pm. in the basement of the Civic Center building with groceries for priz- es, and everyone has a chance to win, not only the sharpshoot- CTS. This shoot is open to all; don't feel restricted about com ing, just bring your pet .22, rifle or pistol, or we will have a few you can borrow. We sup ply ammunition and targets. This will be not only your chance to join the V.F.W. if you care to, but to enjoy an eve ming of good shooting, something practically all SeWardites enjoy,

handed Grampa glass and the
brandy burned his throat but it
woke him up.

Doc looked at him a minute and
nodded to his wife.

STILL WRAPPED in the blanket,
they carried him out to the car Dave
was already at the farm when they
arrived and he helped Doc carry
Grampa into his room. Dave and
Mrs. Parsons took off his clothes and
put him to bed while the doctor
went into Edna.
It was two hours before Mrs. Par
sons came into the kitchen and told
Dave about his son.
':Edna's fine" she added.
Doc came out and they all went
in to look at Grampa. He was lying
on his back the way they'd left him.
Doc felt his pulse.
'I'll be back first thing in the
morning." he told Dave.
Mrs. Parsons picked up Grampa's
wet clothes.

said.
When they had all gone Grampa
opened his eyes and wriggled his
toes in his boots.
TITS a wonder I amt thought of it
before" he muttered.
He felt warm and comfortable and
now there was nothing left to worry
about He'd keep his boots on all
the time after this and when he
went he'd be ready.
"Fella gets to be as old as me-"
he chuckled, ''he's got to use his
head"

looked at Edna. She hadn't moved
out of the chair and her mouth was
twisted up at one side.
'Doc says for you to get to bed"
Grampa said. "He says don't you
worry an he'll be here in an hour.
He says he'll call Dave at the
Grange"
He went to his room and turned
the radio on loud so Edna would
hear it while he was gone. Then he
pulled on his clothes and took the
lantern from the kitchen and walked
out into the storm.
The snow got into his eyes and he
kept blinking as he went out to the
barn. Twice he slipped and almost
fell before he got there.
IT WAS WARMER in the barn.
He had walked all the way to the
end before he remembered they'd
sold the gig ten years before.
He hung the lantern on nail and
opened the stall where Dave kept
the horse for blowing. Big Jock
came out slowly and stood waiting.
Grampa threw a blanket over his
back and managed to get up on
the horse. Grampa dug his heels into
Jocks sides and the horse started
and went out into the snow.
Before they got to the road Gram
pa knew he was going to die. Every
time he breathed, the cold went
down into his throat and hurt him.
He was mad to have it happen like
this after all his planning.
Don't seem fair a man can't pick
his own way when he gets to be as
old as me-" he thought.
It had been long time since he'd
ridden a horse in the snow. One
winter he'd ridden a lot. General
Custer had been in command, he
remembered.
Looks like all along was meant
to go with my boots on"
1t was two miles to the town and
no other house on the way. Jock
walked slowly and Grampa began
to get sleepy.
''You just keep on into town." he
told the horse. Someone will see us
an they'll know what's wrong"
1T WAS EASY lying there or

cold. But he was bothered abou

Il Grampa Harris was sure about,
and that was the way he was going

"I'm eighty-seven years DID," he
said, can come long way. Plenty
of times I thought I was done for
but come through. So now I'm
ready an when go it's goin' to be
peaceful. I'll be lynn in my bed an
I'll be rested"
That had been five years before
and he'd taken no chances. In the
winter he kept pretty much to his
room, although sometimes he'd come
into the kitchen and sit by the stove.
Even in summer he never got far
Their than the yard outside the back
door.
The farm was his and he'd seen
them come and go until now there
was just his grandson, David, and
David's bride, Edna. Dave worked
hard and kept the farm going and
Edna worked hard, too, even after
1t became obvious that Grampa
Harris was going to have a great
grandchild.
1t began to snow early in the aft
ernoon. The thermometer held
steady at IL above and Grampa
knew they were in for good snow.
Dave was going to a meeting at
the Grange that night and he was
worried about leaving Edna.

his slippers and bathrobe.
