Garrett of Luders, and G. L. Lee
of Houston, met death In a land-
slide while working on a highway
cut late Monday. The boys were
completely buried when a large
amount of earth caved in on them
at a deep cut. The boys were at
the bottom of the canyon, when
the earth, loosened by rain, sud-
denly covered them. Federal au-
thorities are conducting an inves-
tigation.
At a meeting Monday night of
the central committee of Deni-
son's labor day celebration, deci-
sion was made to add one-third
more funds over last year's quota

a parade of floats and other
events which the committee hopes
will exceed the two-mile -long pa-
rade last year.
The event is to be open to all
surrounding cities to participate
or attend and a booster trip com-
mittee to visit cities within a rad-
ius of seventy-five miles of Den-

Following a suggestion by Mr.

the band committee, the group
plans to secure at least five out-
-of-town bands to assist the local
units in the fun making, it wa3
announced.
An executive committee was
named to iron out all difficulties
that may arise while the celebra-
tion is in the process of forma-
tion and is composed of Carson

A point stressed at the meeting
last night was that no free con-
cessions would be permitted.
