FIREWORKS DISPLAY
 IN NORTH END

One does not know whether 10 feel joyful or sad over the decision of the Amusement Commission to change the annual Independence day fireworks display to Stanley Quarter park this year. The annual display in Walnut Hill park became an event of stellar proportions. at tracting a large part of the citys nopulation.

These are the very per sons who have enjoyed the display to the greatest extent.
 The claim of the hospital au- thorities against the noise incident to the display evidently won over the commission to the ad1isability of changing the site. When it was stated recently that q patient last year went into nervous paroXysms during the noise evidently many people came 10 the conclusion there was merit in the contention the display ought 10 be given else where.
 Residents along Walnut HiiI park. who were not overly pleased at the large crowd attracted, some Of whom unceremoniousIy walked over lawns and flower beds, will he greatly pleased at the prospect this year. Their worries are over, They were reputed 10 be among those n.lo effectively opposed holding the display on the hill. The same diff fcuites they experienced will no~ be transferred to the north end - that is, provided the crowd is large.
