EAST SIDE WILL ASSIST
Push Club9 Show Interest In Rose
Festival.
Joint action on the part of the two
most powerful East Side civic improve
ment organizations will be Inaugurated
this week for the purpose of boosting
the Rose Festival. The East Side Busi
ness Men's League has already under
taken to arouse interest in the plan to
route one of the big street pageants
through the main streets on the other
side of the river, and tomorrow night
addresses in the interest of the festivities
to be held next June will be .made by
several speakers, including Mayor Lane,
before the regular meeting of the United
East Side Push Clubs. The latter or
ganization embraces some 20 district im
provement clubs, representing all sec
tions of the East Side, and It is ex
pected that steps will be taken to co
operate with the Business Men's League
in the Festival Project.
Two important objects-are to be ac
complished if the Festival is to be able
to give the East Side districts a chance
to witness the real big features of the
celebration. A number of the leading
streets must be put in such shape that
the pageants can pass through them
comfortably, and a certain amount of
illuminating of business thoroughfares
must be arranged for in order to give
proper environment- It is almost cer
tain that the whole East Side, through
its push clubs, will join hands in this
preliminary work, and will also do its
share In working out the proposed plans
for the majestic marine carnival that is
to be held in the local harbor, and which
will be of as much interest to the East
as to the WeBt Side.
A general committee composed of dele
gates from both the big boosting organi
zations of the East Side will probably be
selected to confer with the Festival As
sociation with a view of doing Its full
share toward msKlng the week's festivi
ties a grand success.
The Festival will also ask material
assistance of the East Side in the way
of providing floral decorations and ex
hibits for the two clays' rose exposition
which will also be held during Festival
week in the Agricultural building at the
World's Pair grounds.
