Details For Entertainment be
Taken Up Now.
A meeting of the committees on j
the St. Simon’s bridge opening, ap- j
pointed hy the Woman’s Club, the
Board Club, has cf Trade, been and called the by Young Chairman Men’s j !
B. F. Mann, of the Board of Trade
committee, for .°,:00 o’clock in the
Board of Trade rooms, Thursday, j
April 10th. * 1
The committees consist of the fol- !
lowing: From the Woman’s Club—
Mrs. T. W. Mallard. Mrs. H. H. Hern¬
don, Mrs. W. W. Travis, Mrs. J. P.
McLean, (1. V. Cate. Mrs. From J. M. the Couric, Board and of Trade Mrs. j !
-—B. F. Mann, R. L. Philips, Fred G. j
Wardo, ('. H. Leavy, Jack Gardner, !
Jl P. Harrell, and J. P. Davenport, j
From the Young Men’s Club—F. E.
Twitty, C. M. Peddicord, R. E. L.
Reddy, Carley Zelmenovitz, R. L.
Philips, and B. F. Mann.
E. L. Stephens, M. B. McKinnon
and F. J. Torras are honorary mem¬
bers of these committees and will
also be invited to attend. Represen¬
tatives from St. Simon's Island, in¬
cluding Dr, Purse, J. D. Gould, and
G. A. True, will be in attendance.
This meeting is called for the pur
pose of formulating plans for a large
and fitting celebration of the opening
of the Brunswick-St. Simon’s High
iv\ay. The opening of the highway
across the “Marshes of Glynn” to SI
Simon’s will be the realization of the
dreams and hopes of the majority of
the people of Brunswick and Glynn
county. It is one of the really great
engineering achievements of our day.
It will make St. Simon’s island, which
is one of the largest and most attrac¬
tive islands on the Atlantic coast, eas¬
ily accessible to the people of Geor¬
gia and surrounding states. There¬
fore, it is only fitting that we cele¬
brate the occasion of the opening of
the highway, and make tin's a day
that will long be remembered by peo¬
ple here and by the hundreds of visi¬
tors who will be guests on that day.
Although the date for this occasion
v^iasv not yet been set, and probably
will not be fixed definitely for weeks
to come, there are so many details
connected- with a great celebration of
this kind, it is necessary that commit¬
tees get. together now and decide on
some definite plan of action.
The Woman’s Club, with the co-op¬
eration of the other women’s organi¬
zations of the city, is planning to
stage a great historical pageant,
which will probably be presented on
St. Simon’s Island near the spot
where the bridge touches there. It
has been suggested that the entire
celebration be held on the island un¬
der the great oaks near the old mill
site.
Other important matters such as
how to handle the hundreds of visi¬
tors on the day of the opening, the
manner in which they will be enter¬
tained, plans for barbecues, etc., will
be discussed.
There is also a movement on foot
to fittingly mark Lanier’s Oak, which
is virtually the starting point of the
St. Simon’s Highway .iwith a literary
tablet of some nature, and it is also
planned to pla'ce a suitable fence
around the oak so that it may be
preserved and protectew.
This of course will all be done prior
to the opening of the highway, as
Lanier’s Oak will bo one of the iifst
of the many historical places along
the highway that our visitors will
want to see.
The following letter is being sent
out by Chairman Mann to all the com¬
mitteemen and committeewoVnen:
