OLD FASHIONED
 CELEBRATION

An .old-fashfoned Fourth of July celeb1sbtion'' with few modern in novations, is to be the character Of the patriotic meeting, staged by the Junior Chamber of commerce in Beardsley park on the afternoon Of the 4th of July. The Junior Cham her of commerce believes that +he American people need a revival of the patriotic ideals which our fathers were accustomed to hear reStated every year on Independence Day in accordance with this idea they have planned for the mass meeting on the 4th of July, with a program, 1nctud- ing such features as the singing or patriotic songs, the reading Of the Declaration of Independence, and a patriotic address, which will be a re- Statement of American ideals
 The new features of the program will be the contribution of some Of our foreign-born citizens, showing what they have to bring to America The Junior Chamber believes that 1t will be a good thing to get away somewhat from the present day idea of the Fourth of July as a day gwen over to fireworks and athletics, and that the real meaning of the day can best be emphasized to citizens new and old by a return of the oId-faSh- toned fourth. Cooperating with the Junior Chamber of Commerce in putting across this meeting are such oreaniZations as the Y M c. A, the Board of Education, the Board of Re creation. the Public Library, the Catholic Community House. the w. c. T, U, and the State Trade school
