FIRST ANNUAL LABOR DAY
CELEBRATION BIG SUCCESS

Where did they all come from?
That is what we all wanted to know
when early Monday morning vast
crowds began to gather in the city to
help with Delta's first Labor Day cele-
bration.
The time in which to arrange the
program and get the word to the
countryside was short-only four
days-the county fair was to open
next day, and a heavy rain Sunday.
so the outlook to man up a tree was
anything but promising.
But the committee got busy and the
first thing they did was to get the
newspapers to herald the news, so
the crowd was all that could be
handled.
An interesting program was arrang-
ed and not a minute was lost from
early morning till late at night
In the industrial parade were over
200 working men and women. and the
autos, band wagon. etc. made a very
creditable showing.
After the basket dinner lively two
hours was spent with street sports,
and several hundred dollars was paid
TO street sports. Later bucking con
tests, steer riding. broncho busting,
etc, and ball game between the car
penters and farmers. made a lot OF
fun Of fun till late in the afternoon.
