CORDOVi, ALASKA, TUESDAY EVEN I Ml. MAY 23, 1916.
FOURTH OF JULY.
Cordova is to have a Fourth of July celebration, .lust what
kind of a celebration will be determined at a mass-meeting of
the eiti/,< i>s, called for Thursday night by Mayor Slater.
Everybody has a decided opinion as to tin* kind of a cele
bration suitable for the observance of Independence Day. Some
want a real good old-fashioned time, with waving flags, ora
tions and all the noise possible with the leas't danger, others
-wish a day of quiet, preferring to give to the children the real
joy of the day.
Both methods find favor with many, and it is to determine
what is wanted this year at Cordova that the meeting is called'.
( hie thing is certain. 1 f the people of Cordova want a cele
bration which will attract attention and bring people to town,
it is up to them to begin preparations immediately.
It is impossible to pull off a program of any size without
■weeks of preliminary work, and if yon want a big celebration
you must come to the front Thursday night and assert yourself.
If you want a quiet observance of the day, it is up to you
to make your wishes known. Anyway, it is your duty as a citi
zen to attend the meeting; so be there.
