A tentative schedule has been approved. One significant change in the opening day, which comes on a Wednesday, will be a delay1 of several hours in- - the beginning time. Instead of starting things off at 9:30 in the morning, the executive committee last week voted to have the parade begin at 5 oclock in the afternoon. The parade will be followed at 5:45 by a band concert until 7 p.m., with a talent show at 8 and a dance to follow. In eliminating the full days program on the opening day, it was the committees thinking that e if they concentrated on three speakers for Thursday and Friday, and' a full program of departmental sessions, and outstanding entertainment, we could keep the crowds with us, Mr. Stewart (Continued on Back Page) top-nam- More Policies For High Uinta Scout Camp Oild Basketball Star, Band Twirler Get Ruth Awards by-la- .
