VOludDiy QeIdlDeQ. C. w. f1lll was dp- pointed secretary of the meeting. The meeting was called principally for setting date for the celebration and after some discussion. it seemed to be the opinion of the committee that the best tiAe to hold it was the half way way point between the two holidays Fourth of July and Labor Day. At the suggestion of the chairman, Thursday August 21st, was set as a tentative date If for any reason, this date does not meet the approval of the public in
 general, it can be changed, and at the
 next meeting which will be held next Monday afternoon in the Chamber of Commerce rooms at two o'clock. the committee will be glad to hear from anybody on the subject. Messrs. Gates and Hill were appointed a committee to make up list of about 15 sub-com- mittees, with their general duties de- fined, to present at the next meeting. The idea of the committee is to make 1 Thursday, August 21st. a general hol- | iday for the city of Willinantic, fac ] tories and plants are to be asked to close for the day as well as the stores, and business generally will be sus- l pended. It is planned to have in the | morning short street parade and an ] invitation to participate will be ex- 1 l The line of march will be from the town hall to Recreation Park, the lat l ter having been thrown open and i turned over for the day for the use l of the public and soldiers for the cele- 1 bration by the American Thread com pany. The merchants of the city are 1 to be asked to decorate their places 1 of business for the parade. Just how 1 many bands will be engaged or wheth- i CT any military organizations will take | part in the parade or not will be an- 1 nounced later. Wheeler's American ] band will be engaged for the entire day and evening; Pickett's orchestra ] will be engaged for the dance and re- 1 ception to be held in the Armory that 1 evening" After the parade arrives at
 the park. the rest of the day will be spent there and clam bake of the first order will be served to the boys from Windham who were in the fed l eral service. It is hoped to have a
 series of athletic sports, winding UT
 with a baseball game from picked teams among the soldiers and the In
 dustrial League. Merely discussion of these preliminary plans and ar. l engagements took place at the meeting
