TO ENTERTAIN
SCHOOL PUPILS
Free Moving Pictures Plan
for Morning of July 4.

Another idea as advanced by Act
ing Mayor Ferd, Garretson, in con-
junction with the annual Safe and
sane celebration of July 4, will meet
with decided favor by the children
if adopted tonight by the executive
committee in charge of the arrange
ments, in session tonight at city
hall. Mr.. Garretson proposes to en-
tertain the little boys and girls, of
school age, with moving pictures in
the morning of July 4. The PROPOSE
ton as considered by Mr. Garretson,
will not require an outlay of more
than 5000.
The acting mayor will submit the
meter to the committee tonight and
the proposition thoroughly discussed
before definite action is taken
Mr.. Garretson considers it to be one
of the most feasible methods Of en-
tertaining the children on the morn
ing of the FOURTH" at nominal
cost. and is most confident that it
would please the children. He pro-
posed to give out, to each school
teacher, the exact number Of tick
cts as she has scholars. These
would be distributed on the last
day of school and saved until the
eventful day. The motion picture
house would open their doors to the
boys and girls at 10 o'clock in the
morning and repeat the reels, giving
at least two shows. until noon.
