invitation and distribute these in
large numbers to each of the

acquaintance who have either
been former residents of the
county or whose presence at the
time of the celebration will be
especially welcome to the person
issuing the invitation. The di-

already made application for a
large number of these official in
vitations and, as soon as they
have been printed and are avail
able for distribution in the
county, notice will be given
through the columns of this

are to be had and it is hoped that
our people will apply for these
invitations and send them out
broadcast to all their friends and
acquaintance who might spend
the week of August 4th to the
18th, in the Shenandoah Valley.
OF course, unless the sender
makes it a direct and person al

his own home, these invitations
will be largely in the nature of
an officiel notice from the Valley

Coming celebration and general
invitation to former residents
and the public generally to par

in the Shenandoah Valley in
early August.

nels. We are assured of the
finest kind of cooperation from
the papers not only in each
county in our own area but also
IN the newspapers of the cities of
this state and throue hout the
country. The railroads have all
promised cooperation in every
way possible and we are writing
the passenger departments to
arrange rates from every point
OF the country so as to make it
attractive to the visitors and
give them at least sixty days
option of return. We believe
that many thousands of people
will take advantage of this OPP
portunity to return to their home
counties and to visit many of
their friends and relatives at
this time. We believe that tile
Chambers of Commerce, Boards
of Trade. and all cooperative
organizations of every kind will
take deep interest in this move

that each county will make
Shenandoah Valley Home-Co
ing Week celebration never to
be forgotten BY the visitors or by
the home folks in the Valley.
