Putnam patriot., 1919-05-16

While it has been impossible to complete all committees for the exc eution of first plans for Pomfret's Welcome Home Day, to take place on July 4th, committees have been ey tended beyond the chairmanships giv- en in the early announcement of the event some weeks ago. It is desired to get necessary notices before the public as early as possible that meet ings may be called, and arrangements started. With Pomfret's scattered population the absence during winter of many residents, and the uncertain plans both of citizens and soldiery, it is difficult to formulate even a tenta- tive plan so long in advance.
 In general the activities of the day will be as follows
 9.30 o'clock a. m, formation of parade at Four Corners.
 130 a. m., addresses on the Green in front of Congregational church.
 12 m, review of soldiers; presen- tation of souvenirs; general reception.
 D. m, luncheno.
 2.S0 D. m, ball game on Pomfret school grounds.
 S.s0 D. m, dance in pavilion on Pomfret Neighborhood grounds.
