Il has been demonstrated lately
that the Good VIII Fire Company's
carnival is to be reality and not
dream. In Wilmington it is being
talked about; on the trolleys be-
tween the cities nothing but the car
nival is being discussed. On one car
last evening a woman was heard TO
say: MY but we haven't seen so
much newspaper talk about New Cas-
tie i'm a dogs age, and it's all on ac-
count Of this carnival Right you
are. madam. and there is still a great
deal more to be said, "for the worst
is vet to come" and THE EVENING
JOURNAL is only too pleased to take
up the space in its columns to bring
about an honest voting contest and
help the fire company get the new
auto apparatus so badly needed. All
credit to the Gre-fghters for attempt
ing to pull off so big an event. and
while at present they have no real
/ fires to fight. they intend to let the
carnival fire burn with all the blaze
possible and so gladden. and warm the
hearts Of many thousands who will
attend. And why should they not be
encouraged? Think OF the cold winter
nights these boys do not hesitate to
come to your aid. Now it is up to
! you to show your appreciation and
come to theirs. There are many per-
sons that will not be able to attend
/ the carnival, but they can help the
I fire laddes in other ways. 1t will cost
money to put on the carnival. and
while Wilmington can raise in week
$350.OO0 for new library, the New
Castle fre-hghters should raise the
1000 they need.
In return they will give you enough
fun. music and fireworks to last you
for many day.
The City Council Of New Castle
will he asked to appropriate for the
lighting OF the streets. and a large
electric sign with the word "Wel-
come" will be placed on City Hall.
Thousands OF strangers are expected,
and as truth is stranger than fiction.
lis is safe to say that these
strangers will see the beauty Of
New Castle. its beautiful water front
and advantages. which may lead TO
create some new industry to benefit
the town.
Wednesday. May 81, will be known a.
"firemen's day" Delegations from every
one of the fire companies in Whining
ton are expected. while Newark. Della
ware City, Elkton and other towns vii
ion in the big turnout. An arch vii
be erected and large decorated fire bel
will he on top. As the marching fire
fighters pass, the bell viii ring out tn
welcome 10 the smoke eaters. Do
Hicks has planned all these surprises
and it's hard TO tell what else he vii
do before the carnival ends.
BE sure to get THE EVENING
| JOURNAL each day SO that you ma,
