EVERY nation has her holiday
with ti special significance at
tached to each. In America ire
lave a holiday when people exchange
tfifts, another when each individual
etops to revere past heroes, and a day,
when everyone expresses a feeling of
gratitude. There are other days with
different but special meaning at
tached to them. Society Is moody and
what pleases her at one time fails to
appeal at another. But instinctively
she lets fcer affairs bo influenced by
the season of, the year.
If tiere is religious anniversary or
a day of festivity, she responds ac
cordingly by a celebration in harmony
Wilis, the spirit of the occasion. So it is
that the mature of festivities of any
particular holiday depends upon the
reason for that day being especially
recognized. The Fourth of July is
day that baa its individual meaning

family gatherings and some wandered

the day. The; functions were not elab
orate, but were suitable to war times,

relieve the tense feeling of strained

Iwmse. The Columbia Highway, Silver
Xok falls, Giirverton nnd Ltveslcy
were among the places Wiat attracted
toeople.
