PREPARATIONS
FOR BIG PICNIC
CONTINUING
The Committee Working on Arrange
ments for Fourth of July is
Getting Well Organized.
The general committee for the
community Fourth of July picnic a
well as the various assisting com
mittees are getting the details of the
big community gathering well in
hand and will have everything lint'ti
up In fine shape to provide for the
comfort of the picknickers by the
great natal day.
C. J. Theleen has been appointed
as chairman of the refreshments com
mittee and is arranging to have
plenty of good ice cold lemonade. Ice
cream and watermelon on hand and
which will be distributed free to the
crowd from 12 o'clock noon to 2 p.
m. on the day of the picnic and at
other times will be available from
the Boy Scouts, who have a conces
sion on the grounds.
The reception and greeting com
mittee that will have the task of
meeting the guests of the day and
seeing that everyone is in a sociable
mood will be headed by Philip Thier
olf and composed of James Hender
son, B. A. McElwain. A. Ghrift,
Frank J. Libershal and W. F. Evirs
and these gentlemen will see that
everyone gets a chance to become
acquainted at the picnic grounds.
Plans are being made for siens
along the road to indicate the
grounds so that it will be easy to
drive there from the city and the
police and parking committee will
see that there is ample space for nark
ing cars and providing safety aim
comfort for those who attend the
picnic.
Another feature contemplated is
the securing by radio of the round by
round report of the big fight at
Shelby, Montana. While it would be
impractical to operate a loud speaker
satisfactorily, someone gifted with
the ability of an announcer could re
ceive the reports through a headset
and in turn relay them to the crowd
through a megaphone. All this, how
ever, would be conditional on the
figfci actually taking place and the
broadcasting of the same by any of
the nearby radio stations.
In case of a small rain on the day
of the picnic if it is of enough con
sequences to interfere with the

straight tip that the day will be one
of bright sunshine and ideal for the
occasion.
