er girls, all in uniform, and this parade
as it wended its way from the scouts
rooms at the laundry building on to
Main street, to Spring to Cottage TO
West Church and back to the circus
grounds, created most favorable i'm
preston and many complimentary re-
marks were overheard, although the
along the route was not
very loud nor prolonged. AT the cir
Gus grounds games were soon in progress
OF such as hit the kaiser, etc, and with
the eight or nine tents of exhibits, booths
and the like, the time was taken up In
visiting these places. At 2 o'clock there
were some sports, such as dashes par
in by the campfire girls and
scouts, and the girls certainly made a
good showing, The apple race was a
corker, while the two chariot races
were holly contested and afforded lots
Of fun. The game Of over and under,
played with a basket ball, was also
novelty, while the lady with the thous
and pockets did good business. The
Red Cross tent was an interesting place
and Mrs Balentine explained many
things to the visitors not known before.
The proceeds Of the day were about $40,
and the two organizations win divide

campfire girls wish TO sincerely thank
Bernard Howard for his untiring inter
est in getting the old band boys to-
gether and rendering several selections
during the parade and after reaching the
grounds. It was certainly appreciated
and made the people think of old times
Labor day in Hardwick was a great sue
cess.
