Fourth Of July
Celebration Assured

That the American Legion will
handle all details of the Fourth of
July celebration in Bogalusa this year
was virtually decided upon at a meet
ing between Mayor w. H. Sullivan,
Major L. F. Guerre, commander of
the Magic City Post, and Commits
sioner j, B. Lindsey Wednesday.
A week ago Mayor Sullivan wrote
the Bogalusa Chamber of Commerce,
requesting that they take charge of
the celebration this year, as the Great
Southern had handled it every time in
the past. The executive board Of the
Chamber of Commerce, realizing that
their limited funds would hamper the
work, turned the matter over to the
Legion, and at meeting held in the
clubrooms at the Armory Tuesday
the members of the local post unani-
mously voted to accepted the charge
and agreed to make the celebration
the greatest in the history of Boga-
lusa.
J. B. Lindsey was elected general
chairman of the celebration commit
tee. No other committees have been
appointed.
While the celebration will be held
primarily under the direction of the
American Legion, the fact that the
Fourth of July is the biggest annual
celebration held in this section of the
country, it will naturally require
that large proportion of the MEM
bers serving on the various commit
tees be representative business and
professional men and women, re-
CARELESS of whether they are mem
bers of the American Legion or not.
The names of the citizens appointed
to serve will be announced at later
date, as will also the complete de-
tails of the days entertainment.

Many OF Teachers
To Return In Fall

At a meeting of the school board
held Friday afternoon it developed
that many of the present teachers
will be in line with the salaries paid
by the best schools of the state. The
System of employing all Of the teach
erson a unit basis was discontinued.
The money available for the schools
of next year was budgeted in such a
manner that it will give each of the
ward schools an excellent principal
and High school salaries will be in
keeping with the salaries paid by
other high schools. Those who have
Taught for five years will come under
the state scale, but those who have
-aught less than five years; will of
course receive a smaller salary. The
solution of the situation is an ad-
mirable one and will give Bogalusa
ns 0nod or better schools than the
past year.

serve to be named Company &c" and
dedicated in honor of the heroes of
Washington Parish who made the su-
preme sacrifice for their country
during the world war, will be dedi-
Gated on Memorial Day, May 30, was
announced by J. K. Johnson, Super
intendent of Forestry of the Great
Southern Lumber Company, this
week.
1t was at first intended that the
dedication ceremonies would be held
in the week Of May 1928, in line
with the proclamation of President
Harding, who had announced that
this would be Forest Protection
Week, but owing to the fact that the
tract is being named in honor of the
heroes of the parish, it was decided
that that a more fitting date would be
Memorial Day.
The local POST of the American Lee
gglon will have charge of the after
Moons program, and the chaplain of
the Louisiana Department, Rev.
Gum, will be in attendance to offic-
late.
Several other names have been

SAVE OVER 100000
BY DELAYING WORK

AS rule you never hear of public
officials getting any credit when they
make a big saving but on the contrary
if they have a bad break in "luck, :"
they are forever critized. About two
years ago, money was voted to build
streets in Bogalusa, and the building
was delayed until this spring which
will give the City of Bagolusa from
100000 to 100000 more of streets
than it would have had the streets
been built when the money was voted.
