Labor Day Celebration
College.
Arrangements have been completed
tor the big celebration on Labor Day,
which will be held at State College, un-
der the direction of the P. O, 8. of A.
A special train will be run from Belle-
fonte in the forenoon and will not return
until after the festival in the evening so
that a large number of visitors is ex-
pected,
A tentative program has been drawn
up. According to this, there will be a
big parade, a rival to the one held the
4th of July, in the morning at half past
ten. In this all the secret orders of the
town as well as all civic clubs and other
organizations have been requested to
participate,
Excellent speakers are also being se-
cured. The first speaker on the pro
gram will be Burgess John L. Holmes,
who is quite famous as an orator, The
committee has also been to see Dr.
Sparks, and if he is intown on that day,
will be the next speaker on the program,
Strenuous efforts are being made to se-
cure one of the U. 8. soldiers who has
been across and has seen action * over
there”, so that he will be able to give a
message direct from the trenches. On
the whole, the speaking part of the pro-
gram will be well looked after,
In the afternoon baseball games are
scheduled and these give promise as be-
ing up to the standard. Indeed, there
will be amusements all the time, some-
thing going on for each hour, minute
and second of the day, so that the spec-
tators are sure of having a busy time,
Special lunches will be served on the
grounds, and refreshments will be on
sale at all times. In fact, this day
promises to be one of the biggest of the
at State
big days which State College has ever
offered to the public.
