IMPROVE
SCHOOL
GROUNDS

Chickasha is soon to have another
beauty spot" thanks to the fine brand
of civic spirit manifested by the board
Of education The half block OF ground
east of the North school building Is
rapidly being converted into a pretty
park. Trees and grass have been set
out and only time will be requested
to make it resemble the grounds
around the high school where some ex-
ceIlent landscape gardening has been
done.
The board Is also planning to erect
an overflow buildging for the North
school 1t will contain two rooms and
is made necessary by the growing en-
'rollment in the schools.
"The members Of the board have two
objects in view in beautifying the
schools grounds" said VIM. Stacey
chairman Of the building and grounds
committee. 'The first is to make the
schools more attractive to the chill
dren and the second is to make tht
town more attractive to the stranger
as we'll as those who live here"

BIG DOIN'S
FOR FOURTH
PROMISED
Chickasha Merchants Closing Up
Arrangements for Celebration
that will Make Ringing
Bros. Circus Look Sick

When it's all over the merchants OF
Chickasha will be able to give the
Ringlings and few other amusement
men some valuable pointers on the
gentle art Of entertaining the public,
which problem said merchants are
now diligently studying apropos the
big celebration here July 3s4.
Last night at the called meeting OF
the Retail Merchants association var
ious committees appointed by the
president to handle the various depart
ments of the amusement game, made
their reports, from which collection it
was gathered that the proposition Is
coming along about as we'll as anyone
could expect. The big show is adver-
tised well. Posters are blazing forth
the information In every town from
the Red river to lei Reno. from Okla
homa City TO Lawton and from Blanch-
ard to Mangum, with vast quantity
OF the advertising scattered among the
country stores and along the high
ways and bywaSs leading into various
towns
The list of attractions is not com.
plete yet, and it is not known exactly
what amusements will be on tap in
addition to the ball game and aviation
flights. The kids will be tickled to
learn that a "merry-o-round" has been
booked and Will be on hand to give
one twenty trips around the world for
a nickle.' The amusement committee
is cunning after some sort Of free at
fractions for the downtown district.
One of the biggest propositions on
hand Is the question of a traffic
squad" to handle the vast throngs
without danger Of accidents, also tc
protect people from the Tight finger
ed" society. namely, pickpockets and
| others who may attempt to operate
That an extra force will be needed
goes without saying and ere time fol
the curtain to rise some solution oi
the proposition win be reached.
Also the handling of all shows, etc.
will require number Of ticket sellers
( and gatemen in addition to a host o
/ attaches for other purposes. The mag
nitude Of the undertaking can only b
realized when one gets into the details
OF it and attempts to solve the man.
