I V - III V
(By Ernest Rhoades.)
Now, that the Diamond Jubilee Is
past history when we all grandly and
gloriously celebrated the. seventy
fifth birthday of our state, our minds
begin to formulate plans for a fitting
celebration of the birthday of our na
tion. As far back as memory reaches
everyone of us can vividly recall with
what thrills were awakened early
on the Fourth of July by the reson
ant firing of guns and continuous
popping of firecrackers. The day pre
vious had been one mad rush fath
er and the older boys to get the last
field of corn "laid by" so there would
be no guilty conscience looming In
the background when they took the
whole day off In honor of Uncle
Sam's birthday; mother and the
girls dressing chickens, boiling hams,
baking glossy brown chocolate and
shaggy cocoanut cakes. The aroma
of spicy pickles, potato salad and
r baked beans gave mute testimony
that there would be no fasting con
nected with tomorrow's picnic.
To the accompaniment of firecrack
ers, guns and anvils, farm wagons
filled with families In their store
clothes and Sunday shoes, began to
arrive In the celebrating town by 9
o'clock. At exactly ten the strains
of "Marching Thro' Georgia," played
by the village band, announced to
k the waiting crowd that the parade
was on Its way. The multitude fell
In behind the parade and all march
ed to the city park or some shady
woods plot near the city limits, as
the case might be, where p respiring
poltlclana orated from stands decor
ated with flags and bunting, Inter
spersed by musical numbers by the
city band; local grocers dispensed
water melons, soda pop, pink lemon
ade, popcorn and candy from hastily
erected stands, the rough lumber
camouflaged by the stars and stripes;
the ladles' aid served Ice cream and
cake; greased pigs were chased; po
tato, sack and three-legged races
wholeheartedly Indulged In and,
when the sun had set and a few
sky rockets had blazed across the
sky, a tired and happy throng wend
ed Its way homeward with something
to think about and talk about during
the next few weeks of harvest time.
Just such an old-fnshloned, whole
some celebration, with the addition
of a few more modern frills, Is going
to be enjoyed by the people of south
ern Oregon In Grants Pass on this
Fourth of July. This affair, spon
sored by the Grants Pass Post of
the American Legion, promises some
thing doing every minute from the
arrival of the Ashland Legion Kiltie
band at six in the morning until the
close of the two dances, one modern
and one old-time, at midnight.
A spectacular parade at eleven
o'clock will include the legion, na
tional guard, boy scouts, all civic or
ganizations, various floats, the queen
of the Cavemen and her court anew
five bands. In addition to the
Grants Pass city band and the
Eagles' drum corps, . there will be
the Med ford Legion drum corps, the
Boseburg drum corps and the Ash
land Legion KUtle band. This prom
ises to be the biggest and best pa
rade ever seen In Grants Pass.
After the parade Interest will cen
ter around shady, restful city park
on the banks of the Rogue river.
There will be -plenty of seats and ta
bles for all to spread the abundance
of food, which only the housewives
of southern Oregon know so well
how to prepare for an occasion of
this kind. There will be music and
probably one or two able speakers;
water sports of all kinds, the color
ful and Impressive coronation of the
newly elected queen of the Cavemen,
and by no means least, the cool
shady park with Its carpet of green
in which to relax and rest and visit
with neighbors and friends; or take
a boat ride or a swim In the river.
There la playground equipment for
the entertainment of the kiddles.
Put on your store clothes, fry up
the yellow-legged chickens, bring a
well filled basket (and don't forget
your store teeth, if you possess any)
come early and stay late. You can
spend the entire day in the parkif
you like or if you prefer you may
go to the fairgrounds at 2:30 where
there will be a ball game, music,
possibly amateur horse racing and
other outdoor sports. The details
' will appear In the paper from time
to time as they are completed.
l Fireworks at the fair grounds In
the evening will be followed by two
dances a modern dance In the regu
lar pavilion and an old-time square
dance In one of the other buildings.
Toe-tickling music will be furnish
ed for each. At the same time a
boxing match will probably be staged
for those who do not care for danc
ing. Some street entertainment will
be planned for the hours between
the end of the afternoon sports at
the fair grounds and the fireworks
In order to make it a full day of fun.
