KIPONA EVENTS
ARE POSTPONED
Water Carnival Will Not Be
Held Because Boys
Have Enlisted

Because many of the members of
the Greater Harrisburg Navy have en-
listed in Army service. 1t was decided
at meeting held at Dintaman's s
boathouse, last night, to postpone the
annual Kipona events this year. The
water carnival may be held next year,
as all officers and committees will
serve until then.
Resolutions passed last night post
poning the water fete, follow:
Whereas, The annual Kipona of
the Greater Harrisburg Navy is a
community event of Importance to all
our people. attracting the attention
of the entire Central Pennsylvania
district: and,
Whereas This spectacular river
carnival is incidental to the construc-
Navy with respect to the development
of the Susquehanna basin, involving
the interests and cooperation of Har-
risburg and the surrounding towns.
And in view of the fact that many of
those who have heretofore assisted in
this carnival are now enlisted in the
service of their country and cannot
this year take part in the Kipona. and
in view of the further fact that hun
dreds are engaged in the national de-
fense, either at home or in the field
1T is, therefore,
"Resolved, That owing to these
circumstances the membership of the
Greater Harrisburg Navy, having fully
considered all the matters involved
believe 1t advisable to postpone the
1917 carnival and to continue the vari-
Gus officers and committees for an
other year."
