Celebration to Honor
Soldiers
Representatives from the several clubs, fraternal and
business organizations of Brevard, met last Thursday night and organized for
the purpose of giving our returned soldier boys a “Welcome Home” during the month
of July.
The plan adopted was to have a “Picnic Dinner” in Brevard as
early in July as possible, in fact just as soon as our boys get home.
It was impossible to have this entertainment on July 4th
as every band was engaged, and it was decided that we should have a first class
brass band.
The good citizens of the county are all invited to come and
bring dinner.
While the plans have not been fully decided upon as to
detail and date the present idea is to have a parade of all the returned
soldiers and sailors in uniform, also have all the veterans of the Civil and
other wars, also the various fraternal bodies, the Red Cross, Boy Scouts, and
several floats and the procession will be led by the band.
Mr. J.S. Silversteen was appointed chairman of the General
Committee and he will announce the chairmen of the several other committees in
next week’s paper.
This celebration is four our “boys” and it is hoped that
every citizen of the county will get interested and help to make it the best
and biggest entertainment ever had in the county. Watch the paper for further
notices and please answer promptly any letters that you may receive from the
committee.
Begin right now to talk about this “Welcome Home” and we
hope that every man, woman and child in the county will be here. Let’s show our
boys how glad we are to have them back home with us and that we appreciate what
they did for us.
