HIGH COST Of LIVING
MAY PREVENT LABOR
DAY CELEBRATION

ID. y. Ferguson, recognized rs tne
dean of organized labor in Ardmore'
when asked what preparations had been
made for observance of Labor Day
September /, stated that 50 far none
seems to have been contemplated, put
that in all likelihood there will be some
sort OF u celebration held at one OF the
parks.
The reason local labor unions nave
not take steps to hold picnic, as III
former years, primarily centers about
the high cost of everything that goes
to make up a successful event OF TINS
kind ana 1t Is thought that each lndl'
vidual can seek out the enjoyment that
most appeals to him, and observe the
day MS he likes,
As usual all buItGess houses Will
close for the entire day, thereby CIV
ing clerks an opportunity Of observing
the day as they like, Mr.. Ferguson
stated, however, that in the meantime
labor unions might decide to combine
and have a big picnic. If this is decided
upon, ample notice will be given in the
immediate future.
