CHAIRMAN JACKSON FOR PREPAREDNESS
 PARADE JULY 4TH

That the Fourth of July parade should be monster expression in favor of preparedness rather than the customary commercial parade. is the conviction of Perry Jackson. chairman of the parade committee. '1 do not think said Mir. Jackson, that 1t would be alv.eable for us to get up a lot of advertising floats, but do think we could not make a better use of the Fourth of July than to show our belief in the neces. sity of the United States to pre- pare Co defend herself and Co pro- tect the rights of Americans every where Let Juneod show that she Is not only tLe first city in Alaska in commercial and industrial import ance, but she is the first city in Al aska to back up the efforts of those who are endeavoring to place the United States in a condition for self defense and in shape so that Ameri- can lives and rights, no matter where they may be, may be protect ed
 Mir. Jackson thinks there should be prizes offered for the best decorated automobile, tho best decorated bi- cycle. the best decorated motor cy- cle and for the best display typify- ing the spirit of tho occasion, in the parade.
 "Other cities have had prepared ness parades, and bragged of the thousands they have had in line The President of the United States was not too proud to get out with the boys and march under the flag of his country to show where his heart is. nor have any of the other big Americans shirked ct time when there is an effort on the part of the thoughtful people to make 1t clearly understood that the United States is an American country and that she belongs to Uncle Sam The people of Juneau have as many and as val lid reasons to be proud of their Americanism as have any people who live and breathe under Old Glory. and if there is ever an oc casion when they should mako it a point to show where they stand and when the spirit should be equal to the effort, It Is on the nations birth day.
 'T am strongly in favor of making la preparedness parade one Of the main features of Juneau's Fourth Of July celebrations.
