Washington’s Birthday Is Celebrated Very Quietly Washington’s Birthday is being celebrated today, as usual, but not | with the oldtime jollity and acti- vity as heretofore. In fact it seems ‘that within the past several years there has been little or no cele- bration, was the gist of a few re- marks made to The Citizen this morning. As a matter of truth this ,ap- pears to be the facts as evidenced by a casual survey of the city made a few moments after the {remarks were made, and visits were made to a number of people who on former occasions observed the day. All national organizations have ceased operations. Lighthouse De- partment, Naval Activities, Activ- ities at the Army Barracks, WPA, NYA and allied branches ceased work yesterday afternoon until) tomorrow morning, except the necessary guards and details Postoffice closed all windows at today. Two out going mails will be prepared and made ready for despatching as usual, but other) activities ceased after 10 o'clock. All offices in the county court house and the city hall are closed for the day except that of the sheriff at the court house, which | knows no holidays, the chief of police’s office and chief of the fire | department. rr First National Bank closed for | F.
