! Community Singing Added.
One OF the attractions added to the
program since the last issue of the
fteu'ewT is community singing in
which everybody, visitors and citizens,
can take part and thus become very
active participant IN the program of
the celebration. The committee in
charge has secured as leader for the
community singing Mr.. A. J. Alvin,
of Mound, Mimi, a. former citizen
OF New Ulm and one of our most en-
thusiastic members of. the Junior Pho
neers. II anyone can make things
move, Mr.. Alvin certainly can and
the community sing is assured Of sue
cess. With. the capable assistance of
Captain Hofmeister, the music has been
selected; try-outs have been had, and
everything done to assure success.
Amongst the songs OH the community
sing program will be found America
'The Star Spangled Banner s.Home,
Sweet Home'', Soldiers Farewell,
Am Brunnen vor dem Tore" and
"Sah Elm Knab Elm R6s'leiinnl steh'n".
Regular rehearsal Of these songs will
be held next Sunday evening at the
regular Sunday evening band concert
in German park.
Citizens Donate $4,000.
I The finance committee, Of which
George Marti is chairman, has had
splendid success in raising the neces-
sary funds for the big. celebration,
the. citizens Of New Ulm having al
1ready paid into the treasury of the
Ecelebration committee considerably
more than $4,000 to help cover the
expenses of next weeks big program.
A committee consisting of DR.. J. P.
Graft, Capt. Albert Steinhauser, George
5Marti and A. j. Vogel waited. on the
city council at the meeting Tuesday
night last week III the matter Of street
decorations. After hearing from the
members of the committee. the coun-
ell voted unanimously upon motion
by Councilman Aufderheide to appro-
Epriate, $500 to be used by the decora-
tions committee for street decorations
flor next weeks celebration. There
was some talk of the city buying decor
ations outright for use at celebra-
Ftions, but Mr.. Aufderheide pointed
Eout the fact that there might be a
tt4natter Of ten years or SO between really
Ibig celebrations and that renting decor
Eations as has been done in the past is
1.-THE most practical plan after all.

was let BY the committee last We'd
'Inesday to a Minneapolis firm. Ac-
cording to the prospectus Of the COM
pany the decorations will be very beau-
