4th of July Blowout
Novel features for the parade in
Grants Pass al I la . in. on Ihe morn
ing of July 4th are pouring in so
rapidly that without a doubt this
will be one of the greatest Fourth
of July celebration» ever held in
Southern Oregon.
Plenty of lively music will pep
up the parade as the floats and en-
.ranis march through Ihe streets of
Ihe city. The Ashland Kiltie Legion
land, Medford Legion drum corps,
Boseburg Legion drum corps, Klam
ath Falls Legion drum corps and
the Eagle drum corps and drill team
of Grants Pass will furnish music
for the event. In addition the state
grange champion drill team from
Central Point and drill teams from
granges in Josephine county will be
in the line of march.
The monstrous parade will be
headed by members of Ihe Grand
Army and patriotic organizations.
Besides the floats every entrant in
the day’s program will also parade.
These will include GCC camps, 100
oresl fighters, fool racers, swim-
ners, bathing beauties. National
Guards, Legionnaires, baseball play
ers, wrestlers, clowns, cowboys and
?owgirls, bicycle riders, water hose
fighters and others, all in costume.
The Siskiyou National forest will
have about 100 men with fire fight
ing equpment in the parade. This
will be interesting to people that
have never seen this sort of display.
After the parade the scene of
events will shift to the spacious
park on the banks of Ihe Rogue
where various swimming events
will take place. There will also be
a life saving demonstration and
bathing beauty contest.
Between noon and two o’clock the

ies! are other features.

.ire invited Io enter the rock drill
ing and gold panning contests. En
trants are urged to send Iheir

lake place on Ihe park courts dur
ing the afternoon.
