Nearly all Laurel business houses
are displaying cards announcing
that they will be closed Monday

stances it is customary here for
stores, and other businesses that can,
to be closed the following Monday.
Pres. Oliver Void of the CONNER
cial club said the procedure will be
followed again this year.
For some it will be a two and a
halliday holiday and for a few 4
three-day holiday, depending on the
time they can get away from the
job Saturday. Those who do not
stay in town for the Memorial day
program Sunday morning will have
that much more extra time for fish
ing or travel.
Next to fishing and p%icnicking,
the order of preference here is for
trips through Yellowstone park, an
