FAMILIES ENJOY A FABULOUS FOURTH
Parade marshals Andrew
and Edna David ushered in the
Fourth of July celebration and
disco dancing brought it to a
close as Warm Springs saluted
the nation’s birthday.
Thanks to the efforts of the
Fourth of July Committee, it
was a fun-filled day for families,
with activities for all ages.
Floats, fire engines and bi­
cycles bedecked with streamers
snaked through the campus in
the morning, pausing before the
old agency building to be greet­
ed by announcer Andy Lucas
and the small but enthusiastic
crowd. Kah-Nee-Ta captured
first place in the float category
with its dramatization of recrea-

of her family’s car and helped the Polks win second place in the
decorated car division of the parade.
The Ike Family won the car

eluding golf, swimming, tennis ponies. The Summer Recreation division with their colorful dis­

were yawning after their all­
night vigil by the barbecue pit,
where beef that had been buried
sixteen hours before roasted
among hot rocks and fir boughs.
An estimated 200 people
were served, fewer than last
year. Assistant cook Satch Mill­
er wondered if some people were
scared off by last year’s fiasco
when the beef came out of the
pit nearly raw and was rushed to
community center ovens.
Kids competed in informal
games after lunch and the adults
retreated to the cool indoors for
several rounds of Bingo.
As dusk settled over the
community, a cadre of firebugs
began igniting the 180 shells that
produced an hour-long display of
spectacular fireworks. Sleepy
youngsters and adults went
home but teenagers turned the
community center into a disco
and “danced the night away.”

roasted in a pit through the night and morning.

performed the function of parade marshals lending dignity to the
procession.
