tees Will Now Go To Work And Arrange For Big
Time on That Date

July A. is the date decided upon,
at meeting held last night at the
Chamber of Commerce. for the cele.
bration which is to be held in honor
of the Knox county boys, who served
their country
Due to the inclement weather many
of the members of the various com
mittees were absent, and the date was
not decided upon until after much
discussion.
Many dates were proposed and the
probable weather conditions, the num-
ber of boys who would be home and
conditions in general on each dav
we're discussed.
Flag Day, June ID. was the first day
mentioned. This propdsal was made
by Mr.. ID. c. Stone who said, that, as
this day was the birth of our flag he
thought it would be an appropriate
day on which to honor our boys.
Several members agreed with Mr..
Stone on this day until it was learned
that June ID fell OH Saturday.
After further discussion the men,
bers selected July as the most favor
able month in which the celebration
should be held and Chairman Guy
Lauderbaugh of the Decorating COM
mittee made "A motion that July 4. be
the day of the celebration. This was
seconded by Mr.. Wilson
The War Mothers committee, head
