Fourth of July
la Colony to celebrate thia
year? This question ia probably
being asked and no action has
been taken so far as we have
learned to prepare for a 4th of
July picpic.
There are some here who are
anxious that a celebration be
held and a little quick action
will assure a splendid time right
at home without the necessity
of having to take a >long drive
over a dusty road and the risk
to ljfe and car incident to a re-
turn home ia a down pour of
rain. Good speakers can be ob»-
tained and home talent call be
utilized in a program of songs
and readings, sufficient to give
us a big day of enjoyment.
If you want a clean uplifting,
old time patriotic celebration of
the 4th in Colony, get busy and
the, Enterprise “is for you.”
