"Through careful planning and the cooperation of the State High way Patrol, the Civil Air Patrol, the Boy Scouts our local Police and Sheriff's Department and several others, we hope to eliminate a sim ilar situation and thereby increase your holiday pleasure. "?We solicit your sincere cooper, ation with the traffic officers and directors of traffic. Please have your automobiles or trucks parked I prior to the ari:val 01 the Wagon Train which is scheduled for 2 p.m. on July -fourth.

"Please help us make your holi day more enjoyable." -v.-.-: ' ? <? - \ Dear Mr. Editor: Well, from the looks of things, Murphy is going to be crammed to the gills with folks from all over waiting for the Wagon Train this week-end. ? ? * ? Ths must be gratifying to all the persons who have spent ao much of their time and effort working so this Wagon Train Cele bration will be a great success. 1 sure do hope that everybody will realize Just how much this celebration will mean to Murphy and this general area- It ain't oft. en that a town this size that gets this many folks in to look it over. From what 1 hear, nobody thought the Wagon Tran celebration would amount to much when It was started this time last year and now, we're lookng for twice as many folks as visited Murphy last year. This just goes to prove what a group of people can do what they are willing to work together for a common cause. If we could get as targe a group working together tor the com mon good of Murphy year around, it probably would prove to be ? blessing and we would end up with the factories and businesses we all would like to see located here. , It Is worth a try anyway* 4 % ' k ' ??? 4"? .>* ???? ; I Sincerely, ' ?? ?- ? t I.
