lures of the Big Home Coming Re-
ception to Men Who Have Been
in Service.

Out OF largely attended and enthu-
siastlc meeting in manufacturers hall
last evening came the definite announce
'ment that full-fledged army flyer in
Curtlss plane of the most improved type
viii grace with several flights and
whole hagful of stunts the big homecom,
ing celebration in honor of the soldiers
and sailors of Barre AID vicinity July 4.
Lieutenant Lynch, who was an army
flying instructor at the government field
near San Francisco, is the airlnan se-
ected. Last evening his representative
addressed the various committees as
sembled and later went to the park In
the soAIl end. His inspection disclosed
the information that the grounds are
ideal for the start and finish of the
flights which the lieutenant will make
July A.
Other phases of the homecoming cele-
bration were considered. Several com
mittees gave glowing reports of the en-
cotlragement they have received around
town Plans are all we'll under way and
1t goes without saying that the commit.
tees are leaving nothing undone to make
Barre's one official welcome TO its soldier
and sailor sons an event long to be re-
membered.
Monday is the day of the big drive for
funds and the outlook for generous re-
sponse is most encouraging. The city
has been divided into districts and every
square foot of territory viii be thor
oughly canvassed. The cooperation of
granite manufacturers, quarters, mer-
chants and professional men is being
sought Workingmen are urged to give
at least dollar, and in connection with
the request for funds everybody is re-
minded that the various celebration
events are to be absolutely free.
Parade arrangements are very elabor-
ate and to all participants is furnished
the added incentive Of very substantial
prizes. Public decoration by the com
mittee will be confined entirely to the
streets, and no attempt will be made to
decorate the buildings Merchants along
the business section are asked to dec
crate their windows and to hang out
flags. The big decorative feature will
appear in the street and around the park.
1t is expected that these arrangements
will center around victory arch, such
as figured in Northfield's successful cele.
