WRANG CELL TO CELEBRATE
 THE FOURTH 

Meeting at the Elk's hall Monday afternoon, 1 small group of citizens constituting a general committee tor the Fourth of July celebration, out lined their plans to observe the Fourth on Monday as is being done in other towns. Those present were Mayor F. G Hauford. L. Mccormack, Chet Lloyd, and Mrs. NJ. 0. John son and Mrs k. C. Anderson. prssl- dent and vice-president of the Civic club, which is taking the initiative Tn this years observance Others could not be contacted or were unable to be present. MT. Mccormack stated that enough money remained from last years celebration to make ii un- necessary 10 collect further funds from the business houses, and it was decided 10 use the amount for child ren's prizes only. A program of sports preceded by a childrens par ade was planned with Chet Lloyd in charge Of the events and Leo Me Cormaek handling the prize checks.
 Concessions Will Run
 Determined to build a tennis court the Civic Club will have charge of the concessions which will be sim liar to those of other years. A large and varied selection of toys and oth- CT interesting items has been select ed for two fishponds which will be in operation at 10 o'clock Monday morning. The Hot Dog stand will be operated in the Pioneer building be- ginning at noon, and will continue to function throughout the after noon with Hot Dogs, milk and coffee and doughnuts at popular prices. The proceeds from all of the con- sessions, which will be placed along Front Street, will go into the tennis fund, and 1t is hoped that the court can be constructed for use this sum mer.
 While a patriotic program for Sunday afternoon was suggested, 1t was found that the day would be fittingly observed by churches at their morning services, and that a sufficiently large attendance to make an afternoon program worth while was doubtful The plan was, there fore, given up.
 Children's Parade
 The childrens parade will be un- der the supervision of the Civic Club and will be started from in front ut the Harrington office at 1:30 Mon day afternoon Prizes will be given for the girl and boy in the prettiest costume; in the most original cos tune, and in the funniest costume The prettiest decorated baby buggy and the best decorated gO-cart will get a prize so mothers with small babies are urged to join the process sion, and the boys and girls bicy- cle or express wagon that makes the best appearance will receive au award, also. The parade is for the children and all are asked to make it good parade. The line of march will be from the Harrington office down Front street to the William Lewis place; thence to Church Street and north on that street to the Gun ningham residence where he turn will be made toward the Bank and back to the Burlington office where the prizes will be awarded. Children and mothers who wish to take part are asked to be at the starting place at least ten minutes before time, and those who wish to see the parade are requested to be on Front or Church Street in ample time.
