Plans for Community Picnic on Ma
tons Birthday Assume Big Pro-
portions-PrOgram, Sports,
Music, Dancing, Feed +

When Maynard-Price post OF the
American Legion proposed a COM
munity picnic for Monday, July 5, to
celebrate the nations birthday, they
struck a chord that echoed to every
nook and Granny of the Pullman
community. The movement was i'm
mediately endorsed by the chamber
of commerce and several fraternal
organizations. The response In
every case was We're for it; lets
make it big The same sentiment
was expressed by the people of Pull
man and the surrounding country,
who saw in a big community picnic
prospects for a much more enjoyable
Fourth than through the medium
of slam bang celebration. Spurred
by the general endorsements, the
various committees, named by DR.. A.
7. Lukins, commander of Maynard
Price post, assembled Tuesday even
ing at the K. of P. club rooms and
arranged details for a picnic much
broader in it's scope than at first in
tended.
Free roast beef. baked beans and
black coffee will be furnished to the
picnickers at noon to supplement the
basket lunches as result of the
committee meetings Tuesday even
ing. Arrangements will be made to
provide the beef, beans and coffee
for a crowd of upwards of 1000. The
picnickers will be required to fur
nish their own dishes, cups, etc, as
well as sugar and cream for the
coffee.
The festivities of the day, under
the arrangements made Tuesday
evening, will start with the program
at 10000 o'clock The program will
be given from the band stand IN
Reaney park and will include music,
readings, drills and an address by
some outside orator.
At noon the big basket dinner VIII
be spread, the beef. beans and COT
fee to be provided free of charge.
The Legion band will give concert
at 100 p. m. and at 1880 the sport
program will start, the races to be
run on the roadway between the
park and swimming pool. Follow
ing the sports another band concert
will be given and bowery dances will
be operated both afternoon ana
evening.
The committees in charge OF the
affair have no intention OF staging

CHAMBER TO DISCUSS
SCHOOL SITUATION
Proposal to Purchase Maiden Lane
Lots for Central Building Spe-
cial Order of Business

he proposal to purchase two lots
on Maiden Lane for the construction
of a central school building to re-
lieye the present congestion in the
other buildings is slated as a special
order of business at the chamber of
commerce meeting next Tuesday,
June %. The proposal will be pre-
sented by Judge Thomas Neill, chair
man of the school board, and a full
discussion of the school situation
will ensue. The option on the lots
expires this month and action one
way or the other must be taken at
once.
The proposal to consolidate sew
eral rural districts with the local dis
trict is being investigated by cham
Der of commerce committee includ-
ing DR.. w. A. Spalding, J. N. Emer-
son, G. H. Watt, Judge Thos. Neill,
and DR.. c. L. Stone. In case this
plan proves feasible and is favored
by the rural districts the scope of
the plan to centralize the local
school system and provide added ia
citities will be enlarged.
All persons interested in the
school situation are asked to attend
The chamber meeting Tuesday and
take part in the discussion. The re-
cent discussion of the consolidation
question brought out many helpful
points and the stated desires and
opinions of the school patrons will
go a long way toward shaping the
policy of the school board.

BOILER AND ATHLETES
OFF FOR CALIFORNIA
JENNIE and Smith in Prime Condition
for Classic Tryouts at Pasadena
June 70

Athletic Director J. f. Boiler of
the State College, recently named a
member of the national tryouts COM
mittee for the Olympic tryouts DIT
Pasadena on June 26, leaves Satur-
day of this week for California. Ac-
companying Director Boiler will be
Eldon Jenne, Pacific coast champion
pole vaulter, and Charles Cit"
Smith, who holds the Pacific coast
record in the two-mile and has never
been beaten in the event during his
entire college career. While the
rainy weather of the past week has
hampered the two Cougar track men
in their training activities, Boiler
has had them working out consist
entity between showers and both are
in the best condition of their careers.
Yesterday Jenne cleared the bar at
f3 feet with comparative ease. With
an even break o. luck he is expected
to raise his record of 10 feet and
one inch, made in the conference
meet last month, at the Pasadena
tryouts, and will go after the worlds
record of 10 feet 3 9-16 inches.
Smith, the recordholding two
miller, will enter the 5000-meter race
at the tryouts in Pasadena. Smith
has been running the distance, which
equals three miles and 1S5 yards, on
the State College oval for the past
two weeks and, according to Director
Boiler, is showing even better form
at the longer race than he does in
the two-mile.
The athletes who make the best
records at Pasadena will enter the
final tryouts in New York on July
IT, when the American team will be
chosen.

c,nday morning by Dean G. w.

.hurch The lodgemen marched in

The deceased members were decorat-
al with flowers and the colors of the
order.
The message delivered to the
pythians by Dean Laidlaw was a
forceful and practical one, teeming
With helpful hints and based on
sound doctrines He said, in part:
Twentieth Century Knights
Some think that the word knight
first meant youth. In that case it is
synonymous with the strength OF
youth, with enthusiasm, zeal, fire
hope,-with the high purposes OF
Young manhood. Others say thai
knight in the beginning meant SER
want And in that case the mind
goes back to The supreme and con-
summate flower and pattern OF
kn.ehthood, as of all fine manhood
who said 'The son of man came moi
to BIZ ministerel rnto, but to min
is.sr and to give his life a ransom
for many"
Put the two meanings together
and to be knight means to be g
strong, enthusiastic, loyal servant
Your true knight thinks not of him
self but of another, his Master. But
who was his master? In the ole
days his lord or prince or king; but
also, then and always, any person OF
cause needing his help; the enslaved
the downtrodden, the oppressed, the
weak. The old story of the Coco
Samaritan expresses it perfectly. He
was true knight, not only for his
own day, but for all time. The
priest and the 1evite in the parable
and all others then and now who are
unhelpful are also unknightly.
The knight may be called knight
or he may not. That makes no diff.
ference to him.
In the old days he fought the Sar.
aeens and in these last days he has
been fighting the Huns. But your

up the roadbed after it has been laid. There is a chemical company in East Berlin that is owned by New Britain people, who, with the~help of the cit izens, is planning a fire district. If the water was installed it would be of great value.
