BRUNSWICK GROW TO BE
BIGGER AND GREATER. . .
VOLUME XXIII. No.
STRONG SENTIMENT FOR
JULY FOURTH FOR BIG
OPENING OF HIGHWAY
THIS WOULD ADD
PATRIOTIC COLOR
TO GREAT OCCASION
Fourth Comes on Friday Which
Means That Many Would
Remain Through Sunday
__ (
COMMITTEE WILL MEET
TOMORROW TO DECIDE j
In Meantime All are Preparing]
for Greatest Day in History of ]
Brunswick and One Long to !
be Remembered.
Notwithstanding the fact that it is
almost certain that the damage done
to the Frederica part of the Bruns
wick-St. Simon’s highway on Friday
night by the dredge Morgan can be
repaired by the original date set for
the opening- ceremonies, June 19,
there is a strong- sentiment that the ,
date be set for the glorious Fourth of j
July. This comes on Friday and !
makes, of course, a week-end holiday j
and the thousands of visitors (would
remain over through Sunday when if
the original day is settled for the
event, it means that many will return
to their homes the same day. June
19 is Thursday and the majority of
the visitors would not remain over
and it is the desire of all Brunswiek
ians that the visitors remain here as
long- as possible.
Another angle on selection of July
Fourth for the opening date is the
fact greatest that event this in would Brunswick’s give this, history, the J !
a patriotic and national color and \
would bring- people here who will :
make it convenient to arrange for
their annual summer vacation to be
gin-then- ami -who /would remain on
St. Simon’s or in Brunswick for an ;
indefinite period.
The committee having the entire 1
bridge program in band will meet to- I
morrow and it is certain that some- i
ance bill “to assure enactment into j
this gathering. '
But whether the day is changed or
not there is no doubt but that the i
day will be the greatest in the history
of Brunswick and one that twill as
semble a larger and more representa- :
tive crowd than has ever been l iere !
before.
