( More Than Six Thousand Attendance figures, according to those in charge of registration headquarters, exceeded all expectations, credentials being issued to more than 6,000 veterans. This number of veterans was augmented by upwards of 25,000 sons of Confederate veterans, members of the several Confederate Memorial association, the United Daughters of the Confederacy and other visitors. The reunion the old veterans themselves declare?those who have attended every one of the 32 annual Catherines?was the most successful C.

Similar scenes ard musical features were enjoyed at the other hotels and . a general mardi g.^as s pirit was in the air. Everybody was in general good humor, although many of the age-bent defenders of Dixie were making their last adieus to Richmond and reunited friends.

CITIZENSHIP DAY, JULY 4. Citizenship Day is now a perma nent contribution on the part of the life, and the clubs of South Carolina C jj are urged to obtain the day in some way. , An out-of door' meeting is suggested, at which .all young men and women coming of age this year and all foreign born citizen?, naturalized within the past year, should be guests of honor. r I *. The day should mark a redcdica-. tion of America by native and for*-, cign born, together, to the ideals and the principles the founders of A.r;ii'ca. /: The meeting -^should be a?-j>:t-d' bv the lcadin<5>-rcif:iz?:ns and il>oe fchcuid be song^, the foik songs vf tl:3 old country* possibly .sung by each foreign group, and patriotic American airs by all. Small American flags should be distributed to tl>e audience ar.ri each pledge allcgiance to the flag. Display flags from-fhomes, store windows 2nd public buildings. Programs for the day can be obtained from .Miss Lida Hafford, 415 Maryland building, Washington, D. C.
