Show Invitations Ready to Send to Former Residents for County Centennial Fete j Invitations to Iron County's Centennial anniversary celebration celebra-tion to be mailed to former residents resi-dents of the county, particularly particular-ly descendants of early pioneers of the .county, have been prepared pre-pared and are available at the Cedar City Chamber of Commerce Com-merce offices. The committee in charge of the celebration urges everyone who know the addresses addres-ses of descendants of pioneers to pick up the necessary invitations invita-tions and mail them as soon as possible. In asking individuals to mail invitations for the celebration the committee members feel that many more people will be reached reach-ed than if the invitations are mailed only by the committee. The centennial will be opened January 13, when the anniversary anniver-sary of the settling of Parowan is observed in that city. A parade par-ade in replica of the original pioneer caravan, a brief meeting at the first camp site, a community commu-nity luncheon, and the presentation presenta-tion of the drama "Ingomar, The Barbarian", the first to be presented pre-sented after Parowan was settled, set-tled, will be features of the January Jan-uary 13 event. Follow ing this there is planned a monthly event observing the county centennial, with a Pioneer Pion-eer Day celebration on July 24, and a Cedar City celebration in November as highlights of the year long activities. The year's celebration will be directed by a committee composed com-posed of Ivan Decker and Edgar J. King, Parowan. D. C. Dix, La-nell La-nell Lunt and William R. Palmer of Cedar City.
