EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD
This years preparations for
McCarthy celebration of the
Glorious Fourth, can be encour
agingly taken as a sign of the
times, ie: that McCarthy is
picking up and coining back to
her own. Last year the fund
for the celebration, although gen
erously subscribed to, was but
$250. Today tffe committee
has $550 in hand«all voluntarily
contributed.
The same spirit is being dis
played in all the preparations,
so that Tuesday next should be
a memorable day.
In the evening a dance is to
be given for the Pioneers, a fit
ting finish for a great day,when
a good time can be combined
with the knowledge of contrib
uting to a good cause. The
sentiment was aptly expressed
by the Grand President at the
Grand Igloo proceedings at Ket
chikan last spring, when he
said:
“This order has a mission on
earth and is fulfilling it. So,
when the Igloo gives its enter
tainment, buy a ticket and at
tend. Patronize their grab bag
drink their pink lemonade and
play their old time games with
their phony money. All that
they make will go to a worthy
cause. We do this without
reward or the hope thereof, ex
cept that reward which comes
from doing right because it is
right. We do not propose
see a worthy pioneer sick with
out proper nursing or medical
attention Neither do we pro
pose to see one of them occupy
a paupers grave. I thank you.”
