CENTENNIAL IS RESULT OF MANY MONTHS EFFORT Plans First Laid For Decatur’s Centennial Last August Centennial celebrations don't "Just happen,” a glance through the files of the Decatur Democrat reveal. Talked about for years, plans were laid for the city’s birthday party shortly after fl>e Decatur Free Street Fair last August. Officials cognizance of the coming event was taken by Mayor Arthur R. Holthouse, who. on August 19, 1935, addressed an open letter to Jesse Rice, at that time president of the Chamber of Commerce, inviting that organization to sponsor the Centennial. Mayor Holthouse also suggested former Judge Janies T. Merryman, llrst mayor of Decatur, as honorary president of the Centennial association. In a meeting of the executive board of the Chamber of Commerce both suggestions were approved. A committee composed of Dun Tyndall. E. W. Lankenau. Arthur Voglewede. Dau Niblick and Carl Pumphrey was appointed to lay plans for the celebration. On September is, 1935. Carl ('. Pumplirey was named chairman of the preliminary committee. Arthur Voglewede beeline secretary of the committee. Later both men wenappointed to similar posts in the Centennial assocition. Letters were written by these men to all of the organizations in the city, asking them to name delegates to serve as an advisory committee and one from which the names of the Centennial heads heads would be selected. Mayor Holthouse's New Year’s message to the citizens repeated his promise of the cooperation of the official city toward the private organizations sponsoring the Centennial. The preliminary committee met again January 13, 1936. and began plans for the actual organization. On January 27, a committee composed of delegates from various organizations met and set the date of the Centennial for August 2 to 8. The following executive committee was named: Mr. Pumphrey, chairman: E W. Lankenau. vice- 1 chairman; Arthur Voglewede, secretary; Dan Niblick, treasurer: Dan Tyndall, Mayor Holthouse, John Heller. Roscoe Glendenlng. J. Ward Calland. Theodore Graliker, Lloyd Cowens and Deane Dorwin. From time to time thereafter sub committees were named and history “made.” o JUNIOR C. C. ACTIVE HERE
