Important Meeting OF Boat Club
Monday Evening At Fire House

The following members of the
Morgan County Out-board club are
most urgently asked to be present
at the very important meeting next
Monday evening at s O'Clock, at the
fire house. This is the second sos
call sent out by Admiral Ed Nash.
No club can function unless the
members work together. So far not
half of those who took membership
in the club have displayed the
proper spirit, and by their failure to
attend the meetings, continually
make it impossible for the others to
appoint committees, as not enough
members are present to handle the
tremendous amount of work in
volved. The officers appeal to the
civic spirit Of everybody to help put
this big event across. If you have
taken membership in the Out-board
club, then stick by your club, and
help your club officers to make this
first undertaking of the infant boat
club a success, by attending the
meeting Monday evening. Admiral
Ed hopes he can make his sos
heard by the following ships: Beryl
Ford, Owen Marshall, Dick Bell,
Russ Ashton, Alvin Parmiter, Wen
dell Tompkins, Sam Gardner, Ches-
ter Murray, Chas. Barkhurst, Big
Boy Arthur Hambleton, Neal Best,

The morning program will start
off with parade at 10:3O on the
4th. Plans are being formulated
in the history of Morgan county.
The parade committee is working
hard to secure several bands in the
line of march. Everyone is asked
to 'get the spirit especially the
business houses, and put a float in
the parade. 1t doesn't cost much to
buy a little bunting and decora-
tions and have your car or truck in
the parade on the 4th. The parade
committee has catalogues showing
decorations to completely cover
your car, for about SIS. There's no
excuse why all our business houses
will not be represented in the pa
rade. Everyone is also asked to
decorate their homes, and fly the
flag and in this way help to create
a proper atmosphere and spirit for
the occasion. Everyone is welcome
to participate in the parade. We
especially invite our neighboring
towns business houses to put floats
in the parade, also the various
oranges. 1t will be recalled what
beautiful floats the Rocky Glen and
Meigs grange, and D. v. A. r. had
in the 4th Of July celebration a few
years ago; also Harry Betz's car
was beautifully decorated. Why not
everyone do this? There is such an
outlay of work, that it is impos-
sible to write individual invitations.
We extend a most cordial invitation
Women's Relief Corps, Legion Aux
iliary, and all women's clubs, as
well as male organizations Why
not have your lodge represented in
the parade? Take the matter up
at your next meeting, and then send
word to parade Committee" care
Boat club, that your organization
will have a delegation in the pa
rade, so that you can receive direc-
tions where you will await to join
the parade. All country fiddlers de-
string to enter fiddlers' contest,

cars. Everyone is asked to look for
the entrance gates, and enter there.
