This would be very interesting and visitors signing the book could be invited back in following years. ' Every community eould send out invitations to former resi- dents 4o come back and -visit their home town next Centen- nial Year. When the town of Kemptville, On•tario, celebrated its centennial in 1958 they sent out these invitations and many former residents returned for the celebrations. • Many smaller items might be considered: Such as the pre- sentation -ora key to the town o the '-•eldest - sitlerrt"- ' community. Awards could be made for the best Centennial costume—the best Centennial garden — the best decorated home or business --the youngest citizen as of July 1st, Centen- nial Year, and many others. A special ceremony of dedica- tionshould be arranged for New Year's Eve, 1966: This can be done' indoors in the Town Hall or some other suitable building through an appropriate service. Where possible in each cor- rnunity a display could be ar- ranged of some old fat'm im- lplements, furniture, clothing, dishes, photographs, etc..: Included in the celebrations might be a parade of old horse- drawn implements, fire wagons, buggies;; wagons.
