NEED FUNDS FOR

Washington Heights ASSOCia-
tlOn Asks fer Help in Patri-
otto Celebration

Members of the Washington Heights
Association who in the past have ar
ranged for display of fireworks, and
in addition, the Civics Association, of
the Ninth ward, are in need of funds
to make the display this year credi-
table. 1t is pointed out that not only
should the residents in that section
alone defray the cost of this exhibi-
tion, but that the public in general,
should contribute. AS many as TO-
600 persons have witnessed the dis
plays beyond Washington street
bridge on the Fourth of July, and
the majority of them probably con-
tributed nothing to the fund.
The people interested in the move
ment want the matter placed square
ly before the public and unless II as
sists there is not likely to be a dis
play this year.
Any persons desiring to assist those
who have in the past been defraying
the entire cost of the display. can
make contributions to any member
of either Of the organizations or send
their contributions to the newspa-
