Pioneer Day at Snowflake.

A delegation of twenty-five
Winslow citizens wended their
way to our neighboring town Of
Snowflake last Sunday to join ir
the celebration of Pioneer Day
that was to be properly observed
Monday, July Oath. This day is
the anniversary of the landing Of
the Mormon emigrants in Utah
under the leadership of Brigham
Young, and as the orator of the
day, Mr.. D. D. Flake, stated in
his address, the Mormons have
two Independence days they al
ways observe-July 4th, the in
dependence of the country; and
July Oath their independence
from religious persecution.
The celebration opened with a
parade of the pioneers in their
typical covered wagons in which
they crossed the plains, followed
by their modern day equipment
of automobiles decorated, and fill
ed to overfowing with happy
faced, husky children. The par
ade disbanded in front of Social
Hall, where the morning hours
were occupied with music,
speeches and songs. The after
noon was given over to a session
of athletic sports and other
amusements to entertain the
people, and the day was brought
to a close with a dance. 1t was
a day we'll spent and full of
interest, particularly to the visi-
tors from Winslow, and there
was lesson learned that ought
to impress itself on every other
community. Throughout the
day in that throng of people
there was not the least bolster
BUSINESS, dissention or evidence
of drunkenness or rowdyism, but
only a marked uniform courtesy
one to another as friends and
neighbors, which overf1owed
generously on the visitors that
helped to swell the crowd. And
to a marked degree was this at
tention and courtesy showered
on the delegation from Winslow
which contributed so much to the
pleasure of their stay.
