New Milford,

As the date of the celebration ap- breaches 1t becomes increasingly evil dent that a great many people are to visit New Milford at that time Many will come simply as lookers-on, excur- sion!sts, chance visitors; great many, however, are coming as invited guests, invited because of former residence here, because of descent, because of relationship, becauLe of friendship. The letters received from these, from all parts of the country, show that they look forward to the occasion with delight; it is to them a home coming, the first New Milford has ever had. For the first time in her history New Milford shows an interest in her scat tered children and asks them to revisit the old home; for the first time in her history New Milford stands before the country as proud of her present attrac tions and-her past record, and for the first time in her history New Milford conducts an event of more than local or even state wide importance. Upon all those who come here from all quarters and later return to their several communities, some kind of i'm
 
 speech of these thousands who visit us New Milford must be judged, and upon that judgment must depend whether or not our town shall reap that pros perity which this celebration is es- pecially intended to promote. It is of grave importance to every citizen to extend the best possible treatment to these visitors. Excessive charges for entertainment; extortion in any form, must and will react severely upon our town, and an undue effort to secure present gain can only result in future loss. But there can be little danger of this in view of New Milford's reput uta tion for hospital ity and generosity; and in view of the fact that very many of our citizens are now giving freely of their time, their l money and their labors to make the benefit to our town. | SATURDAY, JUNE Is, 1907. 10 a. m.: Opening of Loan exhibit in Memorial hall.
