WHITE WAY
LIGHTS READY
NOVEMBER II
Interesting Meeting Held By
Committee at Windsor Hotel
Last Night; Pace Makes
Statement

For the purpose of discussing and
making plans for an Armistice Day
celebration, November IL, in coanec-
ton with the turning or of new
White way lights, an enthusiastic and
well attended meeting was held last
night at the Windsor Hotel.
The City engineer reported that
he would have the white way in
shape to flash on the lights the day
of the celebration. The American
Legion, represented by Commander
Bell, stated that the Legion would
participate in an Armistice day cele-
bration by conducting an attractive
parade by members of the Legion,
Confederate Veterans, Boy Scouts,
the three civic clubs and other or
CARNATIONS. Mr.. Bell also reported
the flags, which are to stand along
the white way area would be ready
1t was determined that the follow
ing features should be among the at
fractions for the day: A patriotic
address by a nationally known speak
er; a parade during the morning
street stunts, by trained entertain
ers at stated hourus during the day;
one of the best bands in the state to
furnish music during the day and
night; a window display contest by
the merchants, the winner to be Civ
en- a prize, to be awarded by COM
mittee of out of town merchants, the
white way lights to be turned on at
zero hour, the hour to be selected
by the committee, probably at 1880.
Other plans are in the making,
and on the whole it promises to be
a real celebration, with thousands of
visitors from out of town in atten-
dance.
In commenting on the plans this
morning, Stephen Pace, chairman Of
the committee, made the following
statement: 81 believe Americas and
Sumter county are rapidly approach
ing a period of marked increase in
business activities, that all we need
now is a reminding of our faith in
ourselves and our community so
that when we speak it is as one with
confidence in our own future and
that of our State. l am therefore
hoping that the completion of this
improvement for our city will serve
as the spark to ignite the fires of
home pride, and will weld together
the sever interest of our people, so
that henceforth every one viii put his
shoulder to the wheel IN a co-opera-
tive effort to advance the welfare
of our community and the prosperity
of our people. Lets go Americas
and make it snappy."
