The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1919-07-11
CELEBRATION WILL
NOT BE FORGOTTEN.

Oue VI BTedt pleasure anu There WAS
nothing to mar the days pleasure in
any way.
The celebration was planned for the
Fourth Of July, but steady rain
throughout the day put damper on
these plans, although on Friday the
soldiers and sailors banquet and
dance was held.
The Quincy band and the two coun-
ty bands were on hand Friday and fur
nished music, Klingkamer's orchestra
furnishing music for dancing the first
evening.
The complete sports program was
put over until Saturday, and the two
county bands held for the two days.
Saturday was the big day, the
weather being ideal, and there was
something doing every minute.
The sports winners were as fol-
lows:
Creased pig. Caught by John Joe
Smith. Spencer Murphy of Baraga
says he had him first, but John took
it away from him. The least John
can do, he says, is to send him pic
ture of the pig.

At three p. m. the baseball game be-
tween Zeba and Baraga mines started,
and even though the grounds were
very wet, the game was interesting
the whole seven innings. Outside of
a few errors, which netted practically
all Of the runs, it was pitchers bat
tie between Nord of Baraga and Asher
of Zeba. Liberty, playing second
base for Zeba, drove the pill over the
hill for home run. The final score
was Zeba 2, Baraga a.
The entertainment Saturday con-
cluied with fireworks display, and
dancing at the hall.
The canteen at the Fire hall was
kept busy both days Of the celebration
serving soldiers, sailors and their la
dies free Of charge. This part Of the
service for the boys cost the commit
tee the sum Of $376.S0, all material
being purchased at cost.
The banquet committee, under the
Craftsmanship Of Mrs. eorgianna ST.
cote, did excellent work in providing
for the boys. This committee was al
lowed the sum of $225 to purchase
eatables and for other expenses, and
the serving of the public with lunch
con Saturday evening led some people
to believe that the committee had
went over its allowance and was using
this means Of clearing money to make
up the shortage. Such was not the
case, however. The committee served
one hundred and seventy-two lads at
the banquet, and there was so much
food left over that the lads and their
ladies were again served free Satur-
day evening, the public being charged
a nominal fee Of 25c per plate. The
committee spent all told the sum Of
$222.95 for the banquet, and served to
the public and sold material amount
ing to $50 all told. This really made
the actual cost of the banquet, not
taking into consideration the things
donated, S162.95. The committee
made a saving Of s62.O5 to the gem
eral fund Of the celebration.
Mrs. Sicotte, AZ well a. the other
chairmen and committee members who
had charge Of any part of the cele-
bration, wish to thank the people, one
and all, for their splendid help and
backing in putting the entertainment
across. John Nelson and Elsior COL
lins, who acted a. cooks for the ban
quet without charge, are especially
deserving Of the committees thanks.
