Down through the ages numerous songs and poetry have been written and sung. As we approach this fourth of July we can benefit from our thoughts and dedication to the country in which we live. …A bit of color against the blue: Hues of the morning, blue for true, And white for a nation’s stainless fame. Oh! Fling it forth to the winds afar, With hope in its every shining star: Under its folds wherever found, Thank God, we have freedom’s holy ground… Margaret E. Sangster The red, the white, the blue, the flag created so many years ago continues to represent our country. Each year the Miner- al/Mill Creek Volunteer Fire Department holds a pancake breakfast at Mill Creek Resort. The annual raffle and silent auc- tion of items donated by residents from the Mineral and Mill Creek area and Tehama County will be held. All proceeds go to the vol- unteer fire department. This patriotic occasion is hon- ored in a number of ways. Red, white and blue banners and flags adorn doors and windows giving us a reminder of times gone by when this land became the United States of America. The breakfast is scheduled for Sunday July 3rd from 8 a. m. – 11 a.m. The food features pancakes and sausage served by local chefs. The event annual- ly hosts large numbers of Tehama county residents who participate in the activities planned for the day. There will be drawings for numerous donated items. A hand crafted wood table will be one of them. This item donated by "Major White Barn— Millworks." A number of items such as quilts, paintings, Olive oil gift baskets, crafts, wine and much more are donated by Tehama County resi- dents. Tickets are $1.00 or 6 tick- ets for $5.00, proceeds to be donated to the Mineral/Millcreek Fire Department. The annual Patriotic Kazoo Band will march and play the long remembered songs of the fourth of July celebration. The participants will parade on Sun- day July 3rd at Mill Creek. Marching to the tune of well known patriotic songs will have the audience standing in salute to the flag of the United States of America. Band participants have practiced with great care to devel- op the best known Kazoo music in Tehama county while marching in tribute to the fourth of July and the Flag of the United States of America. The parade members will lead those attending in the singing of patriotic songs and the flag salute. ...O, thus be it ever when freemen shall stand, Carolyn Barber Between their lov’s home and the war’s desolation, Blest with vict’ry and peace, may the heav’n-rescued land, Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation. Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just, And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave, O’er the land of the free, and the home of the brave.
