OPENING TO MARK WORLD’S LATEST TRAVEL ADVANCE I Celebration Will Mark Dedication of First Great Passenger Bus Terminal Monday—lndianapolis Continues as Transportation Station Pioneer. By BLAINE McGRATH Director of Publicity Bus Terminal Celebration Once again the city of Indianapolis and the State of Indiana, joining together in adapting the community and the commonwealth to the march of progress,' are showing the way to the rest of the world.

On Tuesday anew chapter in the' history of transportation will be written by Indianapolis and Indiana. On that day the world’s first great passenger bus terminal will be formally dedicated and opened for use of thousands of persons who will come to and through Indianapolis by bus. The dedication is to be attended by a fitting celebration which embraces the people of the whole city, the whole State and of neighboring States. It is notable that Indianapolis built the first union station in the world for railroad train passengers. It vis also notable that Indianapolis built and still possesses the greatest electric interurban terminal station in the world. And now, as a further evidence of the manner in which Indianapolis rises to meet changing conditions of transportation and keeps not only abreast if, but just a little bit ahead of other communities adapting itself to progress, this city is dedicating tomorrow the first great passenger bus terminal in the world. Group Aids Hiner When the news of the building of the new Bus Terminal by Ward B. Hiner and his associates became known to the business people of Indianapolis, a small group of men who are interested in the common good of Indianapolis met and decided to do something in recognition of the history-making incident. These men were J. Edward Morris, president of the Washington Bank and Trust Company; Meyer Efroymson of the Star Store; Tracy W. Ellis, advertising manager of the Indianapolis Times; Harry W. Israel, president of D. Sommers & Cos.; Harry A. Kahn, president of the National Furniture Company; Saul Solomon, president of the Victor Furniture Company; Edward R. Green, treasurer of the People’s Outfitting Company, and Leo Traugot, secretary-treasurer of the Fair Store. These men are neighbors. Some of them are business competitors. They decided, in a general way, that some sort of celebration should be held to commemorate they day cr, which the new Bus Terminal was to ba opened to the bus riding public. They called in Charles E. Herin, manager of the west side branch of the Fletcher Savings and Trust Company. Herin consented to serve as treasurer for the committee sponsoring the celebration. They elected J. Edward Morris chairman of the executive committee in charge of the celebration and Saul Solomon, chairman of the finance committee. Claude S. Wallin, who has had many years of experience In managing celebrations and expositions, was consulted. He had just completed handling of the seventh national flower show for the American Florists’ Association in Kansas City. Wallin accepted the commission to manage the celebration, and worked out a program that has been approved by the committee of sponsoring business men. The originators of the celebration plans could have made of the celebration a neighborhood affair, and Ihey could have turned the event Into a source of profit for the places pf business located within the district that is the logical trading center about the new Bus Terminal. But these men are of bigger calibre than that For Whole City “We will mqke this a celebration for the whole'-city,” they said, "and we will Invite people from all parts of the State and from other States. We want no profits from the celebration for ourselves. We want Indianapolis—all of it and all business interests of it —to be counted in as part of the Bus Terminal celebration.” This very unselfish attitude on the part of ftie business men who assumed the responsibility for the celebration, is in a large measure credited with the assured success of the event. They received —through several weeks of untiring effortfinancial support for the celebration from business interests in all parts of downtown Indianapolis. They obtained the cooperation of State and city officials, of the Chamber of Commerce, of the Merchants “Association of Indianapolis, of the board of trade of every civio and commercial organization in the city, and they awakened a spirited public Interest in the Terminal celebration that insures thousands of visitors who will attend the ceremonies and be entertained by the carnival acts, music and other attractions incident to the celebration. Hundreds of extra electric lights have fcpen strung qlong the streets that are being festooned for the celebration. The Indianapolis Street Railway Company, through Its board of directors, accorded the celebration committee one of the most gracious courtesies that helped the sponsors of the activities to make a creditable decorative arrangement, by permitting the *,:ee use of the Street Railway Company’s trolley poles as suppr eta for decorations and lighting fixtures. Washington St., from Delaware St. to Missouri St„ was mapped out as the "Avenue of Wonders,” with special decorative installations and trpMlal illumination. The decora*

tions werd arranged by Charles W. Read and the American Tent and Awning Company. The illumination scheme was worked out by a committee composed of M. K. Foxworthy, Myron R. Green, T. fc. Hatfield, W. H. Morton and A. C. Crandall. Along Washington St. three stages have been erected on which will appear bands of music and acts of the vaudeville and circus varieties. The entertainers will play at , the various stages, located near Capitol Ave., near Senate Ave. and east of Missouri St., on a time schedule that was worked out by Henry K. Burton, manager of the Burton Booking Office, who furnished the specialty acts. Decorative Program The decorative program was extended down Capitol Ave. to Maryland St., where a giant arch forms the gateway to the Bus Promenade, which extends along Maryland St. from Capitol Ave. to Senate Ave. Here will be on display tomorrow many types of passenger bus, including the first bus ever used in America for passenger transportation, and the latest style of luxurious parlor car passenger bus, which has been produced. Senate Ave. between Washington St. and Maryland St. will be the Indianapolis Industrial Lane, and under a specially constructed canvas covering will be exhibited the*products of scores 'of Indianapolis factories. Spaces are given exhibitors free, and before noon tomorrow there will be ready a variety of In-dianapolis-made products that will Interest the thousands of visitors who will pass through this lane. In Maryland St., across from the Bus Terminal building, a large stage is to be erected on which will be conducted the dedication ceremonies. J. Edward Morris, as general chairman ’of the celebration committee, will preside. He will present to the audience, which it is expected will completely fill the street and overflow into the other celebration lanes, Ward B. Hiner, who, with his associates of the Red Ball Bus Terminal Company, erected th* building. The day of the celebration is Hiner’s birthday anniversary. He admits having celebrated forty-four previous anniversaries, and in his honor a giant birthday cake Is being prepared, bearing forty-five candles. This will be on display during the ceremonies. After the introduction of Hiner, he will presenter Mayor Samuel Lewis Shank a large key, capable of unlocking the symbolical gates to the terminal building. Mayor Shank, on behalf of the city of Indianapolis, will accept the key and with it ope nthe golden termina. building gates. Then the giant Hiner birthday cake will be cut. The surface of Maryland St., which is being scoured and polished, will be cleared after this ceremony, and dancing will be in order. The dedication ceremony is scheduled for 8:30 p. m. Tuesday. Tuesday afternoon Indianapolis will se the largest parade of passenger busses ever staged. A twomile line of busses will move through the downton. streets of the city’’, marshalled by Captain Harry M. Franklin. In the parade will be a specially decorated parlor car bus assigned to carry Governor Jackson and other State officials. The car has been painted for the occasion with the seal of the State of Indiana emblazoned on its sides. A similarly decorated bus with the seal of the city of Indianapolis has been assigned Mayor Shank and his official associates of the city.

FLOOD LIGHTS ON EXTERIOR Illumination of Building Big Problem. How to illuminate the Bus Terminal Bldg, for Tuesday’s dedication and opening celebration presented to the sponsoring committee a serious problem. Officials of the celebration and owners of the building were several days finding out that there are not in Indianapolis available for the purpose, the proper kind of flood lighting equipment that would set off to best advantage the attractive exterior of the building after dark. The Lay Spotdriver Company, an Indianapolis concern on Ft. Wayne Ave., came to the rescue. One of the members of the Lay company, with one of his powerful spotlights and an automobile storage battery, obtained a very acceptable effect on a small area of the Terminal building's exterior* After the successful experiment, the Lay company arranged to obtain sufficient storage batteries to operate a battery of twenty Lay Spotdriver lights. The rays of these lights will be thrown upon the Bus Terminal Bldg, from every direction, giving a flood-lighting effect. ALBANY COMPANY BUYS Eight twenty-five-passenger busses have been ordered by the Albany Transit Company, Inc., to be used on their three city routes at Albany, N. Y. The fare is 8 cents on all ■ three routes. *__
