bration, the mayor and towns

committee to seek new indus
tries and to match the sur
rounding communities in in

ming.

Mrs. Pauline T. Holmes, a
pioneer resident and teacher
in nearby Cleveland, is presi-
dent.
Steps have been taken to
get the U. S. Post Office to
issue an Anniversary Postal

casion, according to Mayor
Liddell and President Hol-
mes. Another Planning Com
mittee member is postmaster
and school board trustee,
Charles V. Thurmond, Sr.

addresses by several leaders,
including government Off
cials. There will be a colorful
parade led by two teen-agers
who will reign as the ''King
and Queen" of Mound Bayou.
