 Plans for the celebration to be held in honor of returned soldiers, sailors and marines of this town on June 9 are daily maturing and at present have taken definite enough form to enable the committee to outline the events of the day, which is expected to be the greatest in the history of the town.
 The entire day will be given over to the eX-serVice men and will be an ex- traVaGanza to show them just how the people were in back of them while they were fighting.
 It is very probable that the parade which is to be held in the afternoon will be the principal event of the day 'An invitation has been sent to every man whose name appeared on the Honor Roll asking him to appear in uniform. These invitations have not been limited 10 men already returned home, but have been sent to men sta toned at camps throughout the coun- try as well as those in France and with the Army of Occupation in Ger many. Although the latter men will be unable to get here, they will see that they have not been forgotten in the honor which the town is paying to the men who served their colmtry
 The parade, besides featuring the eX-serNiCc men, will also contain many pretty floats. The souvenir programs by far will be the best souvenir which the people could wish to obtain They will be devoted entirely to the sol diers and the work of the town during the war. There will be a casualty list as well as an honor roll. There will be an individual picture of every local man who made the supreme sacrifice whether in this country or on the fields of France. Beneath their pie lures the deeds of the dead heroes will be briefly outlined. The souvenirs will probably contain 40 pages. There will be 200 of them bound in genuine black leather for the men who were Tn all branches of the service. The name of each man will be engraved in gold on the outside cover of the souvenir.
 Three or four thousand will be printed for sale to the public. The demand for them will he large as they will he invaluable in years to come. About 20 pages of the souvenir will be devoted to the work of the town in the war. There will also be d sketch of Plainville and it's deeds in former wars. This has been compiled from the history of the town which is to be used in connection with the 5Oth anniversary on the day preceding the celebration.
 Several local men have been cited GO hI,.lI J
 photcs will appear in a space set a art for them. There will also be photos of the local company of the state guard. the Red Cross unit. and other organizations which aided dur ing the war.
 There will be plenty of music fur nished by bands from nearby cities. A band concert will he given by the Philharmonic band of New Britain. The evening program has not been de- cided upon yet but will probably be of little importance in connection with the events Of the rest of the day.
