WORTHY COMMENDATION

Everybody agrees that from the
view point of diversity of attractions,
the eXcellency of those attractions.
and the manner in which the program
was carried out, the late celebration
was one of the best that has ever TAX
en- place in Oroville, if not in the en-.
tire county. Yet everybody does not
stop to conisder the gruelling labor,
the trying obstacles to contend against
the difficulties to overcome, the infin-
lite tact required dealing with many
men of many minds, the amount of
running around, cajolery, insistence
and appeals necessary to raise funds
required to make that celebration the
success it proved to be. Most of that
arduous work fell upon two men, Lew
Prentice and DR.. w. c. Ketchum.
They were the executive committee,
and upon them rested most of the re-
sponsibility OF the celebration. Other
committees were appointed, bat a3 Is
usually the case those committees
existed more in name than in any
tangible results accomplished. Messrs
Prentice and Ketchum devoted their
time day and night, day after day and
night after night, before and during
the celebration, and their tronble5 dill
not cease with the ending of the two
days hurrah. They made good in the
positions they were appointed to fiji
and induced to accept Their efforts
may be appreciated by the majority
of our citizens. They are certainly
entitled to that appreciation. Yet it
is safe to say that in the future, with
their experience indelibly impressed
upon their memory, these gentlemen
will respectfully but firmly decline
another such position of trying re-
sponsibility.
