Crackling- ci'ispii(ss, variety ami
color preaominale in thy l'J:i-i pro
giitm to be pi evented by the Grande
Konde Chautauqua Association a:
KivtTdidu 1'ark beginning- July 21 At
and runnintf for sevtn days. At no
time in the past seven or eitfht years
kus there been as much pre-r.sseiably
satisfaction with the program ab
thefe is this sea-n, for th. lecture
numbers and t he music are all nuw
and fresh with ono exception, and
that exception is not objectionable.
This one instance icfers to that old
sage of the lecture platform, Opie
Head, who has been here bet ore, but
a long time ago.
With the as.-embly two weeks away,
there remains much to be done in the
way of Ironing nut details but the
directors ate on the job; committees
are at work, tfnd wlu-n the platform
manager ealles the, fir.-it meeting to
order, everything will be "fine and
dandy.'
, Scanning the program at this date,
ad checking up on nuvanee descrip
tion of the various types of entertain
ment to be presented, one c-'nnot but
feel that a fine lot of entertainment
is in toie for Chautauo.ua patrons.
There is the mystic magician,
health clinics, must by opei a star
to which gre.it sums are paid for ono
performance; there arc nove'ty mu
sicians, clean fun-makers; there1 i
Opie iKeail, and n fine galaxy of lec
turers along with him; there is a play
.which, like last year, takes the place
of a big band. The day's of big bands
on chautauqua platforms are "gone
forever." But the play this year ts
one that will certainly meet with
favor. "Cappy Ricks1 is the vehicle
for these star to shine from. Every
one has rend the "Cappy P.icks" stor
ies and will l:e interested in their
production on the p'tt form -fit".
These aie but a few hijrhiiirhis on
the program, th full d: t:iil:i of which
are given in full in do ;ci iutive mat
ter in this issue of the Observer.

Transporation Problem
is Adequately Solved
Slow progress with the construc
tion of the new jfrde to the city park
will spell some inconveniences with
vehicle transportation and those who
walk to and from the ground. this
year. Victory Way is progressinu
slowly and there will be no adequate
sidewalk facilities nor will the stieet.i
be in the best of shape.
However the city is co-operating
with thy Chautauqua management in
making the very best possible ar
rangement tinder the conditions. The
streets will be sprinkled freely, and
the sidewalk, or what will be a side
walk when it is finished, will be given
attention for temporary ue. At thi
present time the street is rough an-i
dusty, but much of this can he over
come. 'When Victory Way is realized hi
full, as it will be in due time, there
during this depression period. I have,
traveled through the giain ard cot
ton areas and know tne farmer carried
more than his share of the readjust
ment responsibilities. Yet this is his
tory, and the farmer is looking for
waid with considerable optimism to
probable developments dutntr the next
few years.
