Police estimate that about 25,000 people watched the Fourth of July fireworks display in the immediate vicinity of Buhr Park Saturday night and that possibly another 10,000 viewed it from vantage points farther away. This is News' Photographer Doug Fulton's composite picture of a variety of the bursts which brightened the night sky and added gaiety to the local observance. The Spirit of '76 Club, a group of Ann Arbor merchants, sponsored the event.

Plant Flowering Crab Trees: These Ann Arbor Kiwanis Club members planted 70 flowering crab trees yesterday in Buhr Park under the supervision of the Parks Department. The six-foot-high trees were planted in clusters in the Kiwanis beautification project. It calls for the club to spend $200 a year on 100 flowering crab trees, which are donated to the Parks Department. The club has planted approximately 900 trees in areas in the city since the beautification project began about eight years ago.

"A check for $300 to help finance a July 4 fireworks display is accepted N. B. Kelsay of the Spirit of the '76 Club (left). Presenting the check is Russell Losey (right), chairman of the public and business affairs committee of the Ann Arbor Eastern Kiwanis Club, and Howard Fanning, president of the Kiwanis group. Finds for the fireworks display have been solicited from merchants, but the sponsoring Spirit of '76 Club is $1,700 short of its $4000 goal. An appeal is now being made to the general public. The traditional fireworks display at Buhr Park was not held last year because of a lack of funds. Donations may be sent Kelsay at 3008 Packard."
