Narrows Bridge - McChord Field Celebration. "Legion of 40 et 8" (World War I Veterans) mock jail and courtroom on flatbed truck parked in front of The Fisher Company store, July 1, 1940. Another scofflaw "faces the music" as he pays the penalty for not wearing a Celebration Hat. He will probably join fellow citizens "arrested" for disobeying the "law" in the make-shift pen. A large crowd casts amused looks at the good-natured foolery; this was part of the celebration surrounding the grand openings of both the (first) Narrows Bridge and McChord Field.
