be observed in Oroville in conjunction
with the American Legion District
| convention. The 4th of July was se-'
| lected as the date for this conven-
| ton months ago, and the local ex-
service men, aided, encouraged and
abetted by the public generally, de-
cided to provide a program of sports
to add diversity to the official pro-

ing a combination of celebration and
convention which will entertain visi-
tors and provide an outlet for the
pent up patriotism of the public at

tions this year, as most of the towns
of eastern Washington are billed for
hurrah covering from one to three
days, but Oroville is furnishing some
thing different in that line. 1t will be
gathering of the boys who answered
the summons in the days when the
country was in danger, who freely Of
fere their lives, if their lives were
demanded that the flag should fly un-
sullied and the day we celebrate con-
tuue to exist, and they will come
from all parts of the district. A special
train will bring large contingent
from Wenatchee, and desiring to meet
their buddies many will roll into
town by auto. 1t is expected that the
town will be alive with former sold
ier and sailor boys on the occasion,
and those lads will be given as good
time as is possible to frame up.
The committee in charge of ar
rangements has been able to provide
list of sports that will keep things
moving pretty lively for two days
and the man who cannot find someth
ing among the promised events from
which to derive pleasure is pretty
hard to please. The program is diver
sified and contains lot Of hot stuff.
An effort will be made to eradicate
delay and procrastination. and those
in charge will see that things are
kept moving.
Let the town people do their part by
getting out wealth of bunting and
flocks of flags to show the boys in
kaki that their coming is appreciated
and that the people have not forgot
ten the service they performed, or
showed their willingness to perform,
in the days when the loyalty and self
sacrifice of the American people were
put to the acid test.
