Fourth"
From time to time Mrs. walbridge
stated, I'VE have heard the suggestion
that the eve of Fourth of July and the
night of Independence day be observed
in manner similar to the Christmas
holiday period. in so far as night lighting
features go. Electrical men have gone
into the subject with us and advise that
f.A S,ns -
lighting up with red white and blue
are minor. and that in many cases the
carefully stored Christmas lamps lend
themselves nicely to appreciate decora-
ton schemes
This endeavor is being called to the
attention Of all communities in the in
terest of a safe, sane and patriotic
Fourth with the suggestion that steps
be taken to make patriotic lighting a
nationwide feature on the anniversary
Of the founding of our Government"
