KIDDIE P-RADE A GRAND SUCCESS ON THURSDAY EVENING
The annual "Kiddie" p-rade was held on Thursday evening as an opening of the local Community Chautauqua and proved a success de¬ spite of the threatening weather, as well as an evening ot merriment (or the young folks, as there is nothing that will put more joy in a "Kiddie's" heart than to be dressed up in a fanlaBtic manner and march behind 11 band of music.
The parade formed on Centre sireet and marched to Centre Square, down Main street and back over the same route, shortening tho line of march as had been previously an¬ nounced on account of tho oily con¬ dition of most of the other streets, parading iu two sectluiis. The pa rade was led by a few local young horseback riders, the old Nazareth Band, heading the flrst division, which was made up of hundreds of marching hoys and girls, dressed in costumes ot every imaginable style and color, representing different ehiiracters, many of them also lead¬ ing their fiivorito pets which includ¬ ed dogs, rabbits, roosters, etc. The P. O. S. of A. Drum corps also helped lo enliven the occasion hy favoring Ihe marchers with their presence and
LOWER RA TES FOR GAS
CONSUMERS IN NAZARETH
Borough Council hus had several ""eetings with the offlcials of the In¬ terurban Gas Company during the past several weeks for the purpose of having extensions made to their lines 'n .Niizareth as weil as to ascertain *hy Iho 75 cent servico charge (iiuld lot be eliminated entirely and a ¦minimum charge substituted which *0"ld meet with the approval of the 'on-suiners In Xuzareth. However, »t eaih meeting It was divulged Ihat we reason tho olllcials of Ihe Inler- "rban Gus Company could not make *By headway In Nazareth, as far as *<l'.!itlonal subaciiberB for gas was concerned, was because they could "ot get the people Interested when 'ney had a man make a house to oouse canvass. Therefore, if the interurban Gag Company cannot •*t any one Interested to make "»     tonnectlons,      It      Is  . pretty
liard for tbe ciimi'iiny to make any r.'ductions in tbe rales they are now ebarging ns it is only in voliiiiie ot gas produced and sold that any re- diicii(in.s In the rales can be effected. On the other hand, the citizens ot Niizarelh should pet together and try :,ii.l get (ho nuniber of future users that ii is necessary to have, as stated in Ibe following letter which was mailed by Ihem lo the Borougli "I .N'azareth:
"Referring to previous corre¬ spondence and conflrming various f„nversaliuiis with individual niem¬ bers of the Council and statements to the Council as a whole, beg to ad¬ vise that WP have made a very care¬ ful study of the entire sltualion of gn.s supply In the Borough of Naza¬ reth We uow have in tho Borough o( Nazareth 541 gas consumers, and (Continued on Page Three.)
rendering music along the line of inarch.
The second division was made up of decorated trucks and machines and was headed by the \. M. C. .\. Band. The trucks were provided (or the younger kiddies that were unable to march, and attracted considerable attention along the line of parade.
The parade attracted large crowds and nothing but favorable comment waa heard and had there been judges selected to pick out the beat fancy costumed or the most original de¬ signed parader they wouid have had a hard task to perform, as the variety was large.

P, 0, S, OF A, MAKE TOUR TO VALLEY FORGEON SUNDAY
Local Members Among Those
Who Visit Places ot
Histoiic Interest
The pilgrimage lo the ever his¬ toric Valley Forge on Sunday by the P. O. S. of A. of District No, 4, Northampton county, which includes Nazareth, Easion, Wilson Borough and Bethlehem was a success in ev¬ ery way, the caravan consisting of about 150 automobiles.
The Nazareth delegation of Camp 445 left al about 6 o'clock for Beth¬ lehem, where they met the Bethle¬ hem, Easton and Wilson representa¬ tives.
On arriving at Valley Forge, som© time was spent in viewing spots fam¬ ous in the nation's history and a picnic lunch was served in the beau¬ tiful grove.
Exercises were also held In the grove with National Secretary Her¬ man .A. Miller, ot Easton, presiding. "America" was sung and Rev. John W. Gilds offered prayer. .An eloquent address was delivered hy Everett Kent, a member of Camp No. 108, Bangor, and Democratic candidate (or Congress in the 30th district. Mr. Kent referred to the experiences of General Washington and his soldiers at Valley Forge, and of the import¬ ance of preserving this historic shrine. Charles B. Helms, of Phila¬ delphia, state secretary of the P. O. S. of A., also spoke. The band of Camp 42 was present and rendered several  appropriate  selections.
The return trip started at 6 p, m. and was made without incident. The pilgrimage was most instructive and was of particular interest to mem¬ bers of the Patriotic Order, Sons of America, because it was this organi¬ zation that saved Valley Forge and helped to preserve the historic spot for future generations. The State has provided a historical building in which the Valley Forge Camp holds its meetings and it is the only or¬ ganization having quarters in the structure.
