The Morgan City daily review. (Morgan City, La.) 1916-1920, 1919-06-20
Members Of Company | Are Not Disqualified
from Giving to Welcome Home Celebration
Fund, is Latest Ukase
Question Also Being Asked: Where Are the Names
Of Berwick Contributors, and the An
swer Is Not Yet

No, Hon 1t isn't true that being a
member of Company ! qualities one
! free eats and drinks and dances on
July 4th when the civilians honor all
ex-service men, Neither is II true
that Company | volunteers are not
expected to give. Rather should they
lead in giving. They came little
nearer, perhaps, to tasting the trials
OF camp life than most of uus. There
tore, they are more thankful for
what they escaped. So. let Company
is men come clean. and the Mayor
and citizens and celebration COM
mlttees promise them that whenever
1t becomes popular to give blow
out for non-service vets. then Co.
| will be entitled to the biggest
ever.
But Company | and all other
jokes aside, just watch the list
grow. There is no particular reason
for this unless it was the belated an
nouncement that the Hon. Homer
Jolley is personally responsible for
the water sports program of the day.
OF course, Hon. H. ]. is only one of
real committee but the very fact
that he is on it makes it a cinch that
his confreres are not going to have
much to do and that they are going to
provide the best program of boat rae
ing, diving, swimming, surfboard
contests, etc, that local waters have
ever. known. .Messrs. B. Young and
Hamilton of Morgan City and Mr..
Wilson of Berwick are important
factors in the water events fof. that
day and with four such men swing
ing things into line it ought to be
worth looking forward to. The SOL
dier boys are going to enjoy them
It's the one big feature of the day
which will call attention to the thou
sands of visitors to our unparalleled
water facilities. Its. going to be

AS soon as you have shaken off the
water splashed ,over you from the
kellermans and Kellerwomans who
take part in the wet numbers Of the
program, just pass yourselves over
to a certain section of roped-in-arena
adjoining the City Park where Mr.
w. L. Brown will greasefuIly pre-
side. He it is who is responsible for
the sweat-producing contests to be
pulled of between leans and fats. and
thicks and thins, all ages, sizes and
sexes. Chairman Brown has outlined
| program that is going to make the
ring-siders forget the insignificant
angle which is to be staged that day
It Toledo. He is local light with
more lights on sports than most
olks and he just naturally fits into
uch place on the program better
han any other who might have been
hosen. Mr.. Brown has had a lot of
from merchants who
ave offered to give him different
TENS to be in turn given away by
i'm as prizes for the winners OF, his
ut-door contests. For instance, Jol-
ey Bros, Grocers are giving him a
ack Of flour; Jacques Rousso, of
acks Store comes across with
wo pound boxes of candy. The
)aily Riview kicks in with a year
subscription to the
ally for the winner of the fat-mans
ace. And Chairman Brown says he

There are lot of other big stunts
