TERRIFIC BATTLE RAGING ON AISNE- MARINE FRONT
WILL Be BIG
EVENT IN FITZGERALD

The Fourth of July celebration be-
gan to take shape yesterday at a
meeting held in the office of the
Chamber of Commerce at which time
some of the details of the plans for
the celebration were announced. The
big feature of the day is to be the
patriotic parade which it is intended
shall prove the loyalty to America
OF each man, woman and child of
the city and county.
Secretary Clarke of the Chamber
OF Commerce announced to the meet
ing that he had contracted with the
Scenic Film Company, of Atlanta,
the largest manufacturers of moving
picture films in the South, to make a
motion picture of the parade. On ac-
count of the personal friendship with
the president of the Scenic Film COM
pany, Mr.. Carl B. Rowntree, Secre-
tary Clark is enabled to announce
that the picture will be made per-
sonally by Mr.. Rowntree and not by
an operator of the company.
The following divisions of the pa
rade were yesterday agreed upon at a
meeting at the Chamber of Com
MERGE:
Junior Sailor Boys-Ages six to
eleven, to be organized by Mrs. Ro-
land Griffin.
Junior Sailor Girls-Ages six to
eleven, to be organized by Mrs. A.
H. Thurmond
Junior Red Cross-Ages twelve to
eighteen, to be organized by Mrs. G..
E. Kicker
Juvenile Floats and Go-Carts-To
be organized by Mrs. R. E. Lee.
Senior Red Cross-To be organized
by Mrs. ]. A. Day.
Blue and Gray-To be organized by
L. Thayer.
1t is planned to have about rs di-
visions to the parade and the above
seven divisions were agreed upon at
yesterdays meeting at the Chamber
of Commerce.
The children in the ages mentioned
are requested to telephone at once
the lady in charge of their division if
they desire to enter the parade, and
in view of the fact that motion pic
ture is to be made showing the pa
rade, and that the picture will be ex-
hibited all over America, the Cham
Der of Commerce feels that every
child in Fitzgerald will want to be
in the parade. If so, they must tele-
phone the lady in charge of their d.
vision at once.
Chairman w. A. Adams, who is in
general charge of the Fourth of July
celebration, in discussing the matter
yesterday said:
We are undoubtedly going to have
the largest celebration in the history
of Fitzgerald and everything adver-
tised will be pulled off on schedule
time.
"The big feature of the day will
be the parade and we have arranged
to have motion picture made of
same and | do not want single ele-
ment of the community not represent
ed in the parade. We are going to
exhibit this picture all over the ma
ton and we want all of America to
Snow that Fitzgerald and Ben Hill
county is loyal to the nation, and ap,
preciates the liberty of America
which was bought and has been held
at such terrific price in the blood
and money of the people of the ma
ton. | feel sure that the patriotic
parade in Fitzgerald will be the most
notable of any parade in America in
any city the size of Fitzgerald"

GOVERNMENT ACTIVITY SEEMS CERTAIN FOR FITZGERALD

A telegram to the Chamber of Com
merce at P. M. today states that
the Government activity being sought
by Fitzgerald has been favorably act
ed upon by the Department of the
Government affected, and that it was
rumored in the department at Wash
ington that Fitzgerald had already
been selected.
By the time of going to press no
confirmation of this matter could be
secured. The telegram to the Cham
Der OF Commerce came from a lead
ing newspaper asking confirmation of
the runor in Washington at this end
of the line.
Since this particular matter was
known only to the Secretary, Mr..
Clarke, and few others here, it is
evident that Fitzgerald has scored
a big one" and our people may look
forward to some real development
with renewed hope.
