Show mfmm Dear Editor: Let's have a party, a rip-snortin', rip-snortin', horn tootin', long-to-be-remembered celebration! All we need is a good excuse and some livewire people. We've got them. Stir up some enthusiastic desire, appoint dependable committees and the celebration would be a huge success. The good excuse is our Golden Gol-den Jubilee year that is just around the corner. Yes. this section sec-tion of the state will soon be 50 years old, -When the rest of the communities have finished crowing about their centennial the baby of the family should let them know we have a birthday, birth-day, too. Although we are 50 years younger, we are not 50 years behind. We have a colorful, event-packed event-packed 50 years. No section of the state has a history like ours. I don't believe it can be matched in the nation. This interesting and different history should be told and the Jubilee is the time to tell it. I believe you will agree with me that we have plenty of live-wire live-wire people. You, Mr. Editor, can help create desire and stir them to action. Roosevelt City should take the lead and appoint a general chairman, committees on finance, fi-nance, beautification, history, program, publicity, etc. They should begin now to make plans. A "plant up" campaign to beautify unsightly spots, history his-tory gathering to supplement what the D.U.P. started, collecting collect-ing money to finance a celebration, cele-bration, etc all takes time. No hug celebration can be put over in a few months. Let's get started now. Do you agree with me? Sincerely yours, Lela Labrum |
