COMMITTEES WORK
HARD FOR SUCCESS

The members of the Winnemucca
Volunteer Fire Department are about
the busiest bunch of boosters that have
been seen in Winnemucca for some
time and If you should inquire what
they are talking about, whenever you
see two or three together on the street,
you would find they were having a
committee meeting of some kind, as
they are all on some committee for the
big celebration to be given under their
auspices here on Labor day, Septem-
ber 2.
After some difficulty the writer was
successful in getting an interview with
some of the chairmen today and found
they are progressing much faster than
was suspected, as the sport committee
has a long line of races and contests
scheduled that are well worth enter
ing, as the prizes that will be given
away TO both women and men are all
well worth working for, some of them
cash and some merchandise (which
now is almost the same as cash).
The entertainment committee has all
arrangements made for the street con-
cessions and we are Informed that
with everything you purchase on the
street you will get value received.
The dance committee will be around
in day or two and see you about get
ting your dance tickets early, and be
sure to be there, for if you miss this
one you will always regret it, for il
will be the subject of society conyer-
sation for weeks.
1t was impossible to get an interview
with the ball game committee, but we
understand they have the big game OF
the season on for that day, with Battle
Mountain, and as the rivalry is now
high between the two teams it is a
foregone conclusion that no one will
miss the game.
The main idea through the program
is TO amuse and entertain all the visi-
tors and send all away with the inn
preston that we can still do things
here and extend some hospitality at
the same time.
Any revenues that may be derived
from this celebration are to be put into
a benefit fund, which is in reality an
accident insurance for the firemen, and
seems to us to be most commendable
We think everyone should come out on
that day and in the meantime give the
boys all the moral support possible.
