FORT NECESSITY PROGRAM
EXPECTED TO DRAW MANY
Dedication of George Washing
ton Memorial to be Held Near
UniOntOwn on July 3 and 4
COUNTY GROUPS TO HELP

The program for the dedication Of
Fort Necessity, on the National
Highway, near Uniontown, Pa, will
open on Sunday, July 8, at 1:30 p. M,
with a choir of 1000 voices singing
under the direction of Miss Sara B.
Huff, music director of Mt. Lake In
stitute.
Numbered among the 1000 or more
singers will be the various groups
from Garrett county, including orga-
nizatiOns from a number of churches,
oranges, boosters clubs, and the COM
munity choral societies. These orga-
nizations have been practicing under
Miss Huff's direction for the past
several weeks and are familiar with
the songs which will be sung at the
dedicatory exercises.
Members of the choir are to be in
their seats at ITO. The Hallelujah
Chorus comes about 3 o'clock on the
program. The singers will receive
their badges for identification at the
information booth near the Grand
Stand which will be marked Emusic
information" Singers are being asked
to bring sunshades and cushions. The
vesper service will begin Sunday night
at z o'clock.
False Ranorfc C;rcu1ofod
A number of false reports have
been circulated about the cost of park
ing, the cost of admission, and other
things.
After talking by phone with Miss
Huff, at Somerset, Pa, and l. S. Mid
daugh, at Mt. Lake Park, it was en-
phatically stated:
That there was no expense what
ever to any participant.
That there was a small parking fee
for others who cared to park in the
allotted area; but that there was plen-
fy of space to park where no fee was
charged.
That no admission fee would be
charged.
The report had been circulated that
admission was 81 to each person, and
that SIS would be charged for parking.
The Monday program begins at 1
I o'clock with Grand Pageant and
Festival, and the chorus will also be
used on this day.
Fort Necessity is the scene Of the
first real battle of George Washing
tons military career, and it is in con-
nection with the 20Oth birthday cele-
bration of this American patriot, that
the dedication is being held.
For almost year engineers and
workmen have been engaged in recon-
.structing the fort as nearly as pos
sible in the manner identical with the
original structure. The battle field
has also been reconstructed. The
grounds comprising about 1874 acres
have been purchased through appro-
priations by the U. S. Congress, the
State Legislature of Pennsylvania and
volunteer contributions by the people
of Fayette county. COMMUNICATING
exercises were held last September
with over $4,000 people present, and
it is estimated that approximately
100000 will attend the two-day exer-
cises on July and a.
President Herbert Hoover is listed
among the speakers which includes a
number of notables.
The U. S. dirigible "Akron" is ex-
pected to fly over the battlefield and
also a special squadron of Army and
Navy planes. The entire program is
being broadcast over nationwide
hookup. ....:

PENNY THINGS
BY DOUGLAS MALLOCH

THE little steps of little feet go
l. romping here and there;
hear them in the crowded street.
/ hear them everywhere;
And little feet find life a song and
youth a time of play.
The journey short, however long.
with joys along the way.
The street an alley, little more, the
children are content;
They find the windows OF a store a
land of wonderment.
Though stories tell of queens and
kings, and silk and lace and
ruff.
The windows full of penny things
are wonderful enough.
| wish that we could go our way
as little children, too,
And find our pleasure in today, as
little children do.
They have their dreams as we'll as
ours, their castles gilt and
glass,
And yet they pause to pick the
flow'rs that blossom while
they pass.
However bright the rainbow CLEANS.
how great the pot of gold.
The children know that dreams are
dreams-but here's a hand to
hold.
And here's window and toy, and
here's a top that sings;
They never overlook the Joy God
puts in penny things.
We build our castles In the air. our
battlements in Spain,
But If we never journey there, the
other joys remain.
So let us do as children do. who
dream of fairyland,
And yet who knows the pleasure.
too, of pleasure close at hand.
hope we never dream so much as
through the world we 90,
Whatever heights we ever touch,
whatever depths we know,
We never feel the thrill of yore. the
thrill that childhood brings,
Before the windows of a store just
full of penny thingsl
