At the Commercial Club trustees
meeting Tuesday the matter of a
Fourth of July celebration was spir-
itedly discussed Owing to the fact
that the Fourth comes on Sunday,
it is deemed that something entirely
different in the celebration line will
be necessary. Numerous ideas were
advanced and some discussion over
the adyisability Of celebrating on
Monday and Tuesday rather than
Friday and Saturday. One feature
advanced, and which will probably
be developed, was that a speaker of
national reputation be secured for
an address on Sunday followed by
a massed band concert of appropri-
ate music and a gigantic picnic din
ner under the direction Of the
churches of the valley.
IN Order to secure a cOncensus
of opinion and get an early start on
plans a meeting with every organiza-
ton in the city well represented will
be held at date to be announced
soon to discuss the adyisability and
feasibility Of a celebration. Every
Ashlander is urged to do some heavy
on the matter and be on
hand when the meeting is called.
