The celebration to be held at the
beach win be the biggest event Of the
kind ever held in Pensacola, if plans
now being made b. the committee work
out satisfactorily.
! In most instances, the chairmen have
already been appointed by their commit
tees, and where these have not been ap-
pointed. Chairman Moore is already TAX
ing steps to urge their immediate APP
pointment. Mr.. Moore. in his position
of Dispatch Chairman, has his hands full
just now, trying to get things going
but ii takes a man with that kind of
jaw to get after the committees, and
put them to work, good and hard.
We, CHI my 70 Dol oh
and see j. G. HoltzcIaw, f. B. Carter.
Jr., and Walker Willis, down on their
hands and knees, do not be surprised
they viii merely be mapping off the
ground, for that is their chief duty
and they have promised to make a good
job of it.
/ But IL you think that is some job. you
ought to talk to Johnnie Gunn,--Johnnie
is Supply Officer. which means that any
body. anywhere. that wants anything in
connection with the celebration can call
up Gum and Johnnie is right on the
Spot. and Presto:-produces whatever is
needed right off the bat, without any
trouble DIT all,--that is to say to anybody,
but John.
Then there is O. ]. Semmes All he
has to do Is to take charge Of the trans
portation. 1t is just a little job-any-
body knows, who has ever had anything
TO do with such a celebration, how easy
1t is to get everything from everywhere
to the grounds on time. o. J. Semmes
is envied by every man for his soft snap.
Felo McAllister-well nobody has to
tell you what part Felo is going to take.
He Just naturally looks the part lie
always has to lead the parades,--he viii
get in the limelght, whether or no. So
they gave him that job. They just had
to.
r. l.. Higgins is the Chairman Of ath-
Ietics. And from all that can be heard
that viii be one of the great and mar
velous attractions Of the day. If all the
stunts are pulled off that are planned,
people will swarm out to the beach by
the hundred thousand. more or less.
And the dancing.--ask Jim White
about the dancing. He Knows. Dane
ing is one of Jina's specialties. He knows /
how to get up q real dance and get a
real crowd.--and that is the main thing
they are looking to Jim for, right now.
And the Music! John Massey is going
to make the music. Well, maybe that
is a slight exaggeration, but he is going
to see that it is 1nade.-and it is going
to be the kind Of music that WI reach
the hearts of the people and get into
their toes. Everybody is going to dance
at the ball that Jim and John are plan
ming.
And don't forget Hunter Brown. Hunt
er is on a special committee. You know
Hunter. A committee has to be very
special, to get his endorsement. But it
Is going to be a good one, and put over
! something big, even at that.
/ And don't forget the flnanciers. Last
I to be mentioned. they are first to be
considered; Max Bear heads this list and
you know Max is not going to let them
either want nor waste.
George Breidenbach is the man who
will have charge of the smokes and also
, the candy. It is easy to see that George
aims to stand in with both ladies and
gentlemen.
Mrs, Frank Marston. sandwiches; Mrs.
J. Walter Kehoe. coffee; Mrs. James
White. soft drinks; Miss Nell Burrow,
cakes.
But our real attraction we have left
for postscript: C. N. Frenkel, with !
Johnnie Jones, Sid Levy, and Johnnie
Frenkel That is the committee on
Special Attractions. And it is almost
too good to be true!
