To Discuss New Date
for Our Soldiers
Hickory citizens are urged to meet at the Chamber of
Commerce tonight for the purpose of determining whether Thursday, May 22, shall
be retained as the day for the big celebration or whether the welcome should be
moved up to Thursday, May 8.
Most of the soldiers are home, the engineers having arrived
Saturday and Sunday, and many of them will be scattering soon, it is thought.
It has been suggested that the celebration be advanced two weeks in order to
entertain as many of the boys as possible. Secretary Joy today phoned Judge
Webb and he agreed to adjourn court on that day and attend the celebration.
The matter is not definite of course and it will be up to Hickory
folks to say whether the celebration should be held on May 22 or earlier.
Everybody is urged to attend.
The finances will be discussed again tonight and it is hoped
that more money will be placed in sight of the treasurer.
