happy children, and in the midst OF them
were the old and gray pioneers, both the
special guests OF the knights OF Ak-Sar-

too high.
Toy balloons. confetti. whistles, Aw-Sar-
Ben colors and the highly respected
badges OF the Territorial Pioneers as

on the highway. Everywhere the children
and pioneers were specially welcomed and
cared for by the Plaza patrol, the carni-
val officials and show attaches.
