Secretary w. H. Hays Makes PERTH
nent Suggestion for Program.
Editor Daily Commonwealth:
l would suggest that it would be
eminently fitting and proper that on
Registration Day, June 9Th, our peo-
pie turn out enmass and give voice
and action to their patriotism.
The Business League, the Woman's
Club, the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A.,
Boy Scouts, the Elks organization and
any other organization of the city that
may have been overlooked in the
above list, should appoint a committee
from each to meet jointly with the
Mayor and City Council at an early
date, at which time they should ap-
point subcommittee on parade, mu-
sic, speakers, publicity and decorat-
tions. These committees to report their
suggestions to the general committee
within 4S hours, when the general
committee can provide for program
embodying the recommendations Of
the subcommittee.
The place of honor in the parade
can be given to young men of regis
tration age. Other participants may
be, Battery G, Boy Scouts, Red Cross,
School Children, Fire Department,
Greenwood Brass Band and citizens
generally. Costumes, decorated cars,
ETC., will add to the spirit Of the occa-
sion. Everybody in the parade or
among the onlookers can be asked to
carry or wear flag. The spirit of
the occasion should be indelibly i'm
pressed upon those present-a nation
battling on behalf of the principle
that "The world must be made safe
for democracy"
Upon arrival at the Court House
Old Glory should be unfurled from the
top of the tallest flag pole that can be
secured to be followed by patriotic ad-
dress from an able speaker.
Let US get busy and let the world
know that Greenwood and Leflore
County are ready to uphold the hands
of our President in this fight in de-
tense of the rights and liberties Of the
human race to the end "that govern
ment Of the people, for the people, and
by the people shall not perish from
the earth" W. H. HAYS.
