The American Legion committee in charge of the celebration sug gested the big hats as good pub licity for the show, and the citi zenry took to the idea in a bigway. Even the fair sex adopted the hefty headgear. Motorcycle police men appeared in chaps, sombreros and flaming shirts. For the time being, Klamath reverts in spirit to its early-day status as a cow town. The Klamath county fairgrounds is being made ready for the rodeo, and a string of bucking broncos is there already, awaiting the arrival of riding talent from the ranches and rodeo centers-of the west. The rodeo will be held on all three days of the celebration, but there will be many other big fea tures on the program. Saturday, July 4, will see a colorful parade move through the city streets, in cluding the famous Gilmore rubber circus with its sensational inflated animal and clown figures. There will be special programs Friday and Saturday nights at Modoc field, the high school athletic i grounds, and on Saturday night tire Chief Keith Ambrose will j have charge of a huge fireworks demonstration. Southern Oregon and northern Caiuomia residents are invited to spend the holiday week-end in Klamath Falls by the American Legion committee. Klamath for years has gone without major cele brations of this kind, and Klamath people have attended such events in other communities in large numbers. This year they are urg- ing that their neighbors come to Klamath Falls for a big holiday of merry- making. IJTHHA V*. < SOGOOD!
