Labor Day

Labor Day was a BIG DEAL for many years. Today, while watching the Yankee game, there was not ONE mention made of the working people of America. Not one mention made of the debt we all owe to our hard working folks. We need to change the way we think in this country.

Here's Labor Day in 1904:
------------------------------------------------------------

Shows a parade through bunting-draped streets, probably in the town of Leominster, Mass. First, a decorated grandstand bearing the banner "Leominster heartily greets its guests" is seen, and then the camera pans to the street where the parade is to be photographed. The sidewalks are crowded with people, including many little girls in white or light-colored dresses. People run back and forth across the street, and then the parade starts. Automobiles decorated with flowers, flags, and ribbons pass in review. Next come horse-drawn fire engines, followed by horse-drawn carts, carriages, and floats of assorted shapes and sizes.
