Border Days is pageant. 1t typifies
life that was and still is-that had to
be. 1t celebrates the happy victory of
the reddest blooded Americans over the
greatest difficulties that man and
woman can surmount. 1t stands for
rugged character and manhood of men
who were patriots as well as pioneers.
Gone are the days of hardship and suf-

ories, and Border Days will perpetuate
the memories.
