Plans for the big Fourth Of July

which even the promoters did not ex-
pect and indications now point to
the biggest celebration ever pulled
off in the Panhandle. Instead Of

gested, 1t is now thought that head
quarters will be made at Glenwood.
Glenwood Amusement Park is max
ing big preparations for the season
and most OF the amusement features
will be ready for a grand opening on
that day
AS a matter Of course a barbecue
will be a feature Of the day and the
arrangement committee is now plan
ming to get thirty beves and thirty
muttons for this feast, If there is any
| likelihood that that amount OF roast
meat will be needed to feed the null
titudes. Reduced rates OF about
cent per mile each way will prob
ably be secured on all roads leading
into Amarillo and the committee is
arranging to extend an invitation to
the citizens OF all the nelghboring
towns to enjoy the hospitality of
Amarillo on that day.
