PLANS MADE FOR UNIQUE 18th
OF JULY CELEBRATION IN MlN0T

Minot is formulating plans for a
Safe and Sane celebration on the
Fourth, in the form of Play Day
for the children and the grown-ups
as we'll, who will be given an oppor-
tunity to recall their childhood days
and get out and play the game with
the younger folks.
George Caviness of Minneapolis, for
five years play ground instructor, has
arrived to spend six weeks in charge
of recreational work among our young
people. He is the man secured by
the Y. w. C. A. Mr.. Caviness will
teach the children how to play on the
Fourth. County Superintendent WAL
Ter is cooperating with Mr.. Cavlness
in bringing in the boys and girls from
all sections of the county and OF
course their fathers and mothers will
be cordially welcome too.
Practically everything will be free.
The celebration will take place at
beautiful Riverside Park. There viii
be parade, good patriotic program
and the finest kind Of a program OF
sports for which prizes will be given.
At 1880 there will be military
drill. At II a Community parade. At
1870 a Ragamuffin parade. At r.,
basket lunch in the park. Band con-
cert at o'clock. Community singing
led by Major Person. Address by
DR.. Beeler of Normal scshool. At
$3.50, Chautauqoa in the auditorium
At $3.50, baseball between Minot and
Grand Forks. At $3.50 P. NJ, street
dance. Special attention will be paid
to the athletic events for boys, girls
and grown-ups.
Indications now are that there will
be a very large number Of children
from all parts Of the county. Mr..
Caviness is here to teach not only the
children, but the grown-ups as well,
how to play. The methods he uses
will undoubtedly prove Of much value
to the schools in this section of the
state. 1t is just as important to learn
how to play as it is how to work.
