Biggest Crowd Ever Here

A total of $1,000 for the sale OF
Thrift Stamps in the two days carnl-
val that closed here Saturday night,
was shown this morning when j. w.
Conner, financial manager of the at
traction, had received all committee
reports and balanced up accounts.
This is only the net proceeds from
the direct sale of stamps, no incident
ais being estimated, Mr.. Conner stated
this morning. From Saturday nights
crowd a total of approximately $4,000
was realized and the budget should
have been somewhat. more than this
had not the Stacker court failed to
operate as on Friday night, the com
mittee believes.
The street dance, though not di-
rectly responsible for the receipts of
Saturday night was the big drawing
card that caused other features of the
,fSSt nights program to carry SO
heavily. Perhaps the trump card
sprung at the carnival wind up, how
ever, was the sale of $1,000 in War
Savings Stamps big chance, which
cleared up all outstanding expenses
attached to bringing the Fort Sill
military band here and made possi-
Bile Il total refusal of contributions
made by local citizens
Causes for Friday nights lead
over that of Saturday can be ex-
piained by the fact that practically
all of the big sale ideas were played
at the outset.
In giving a resume of the carnival
this morning Mr.. Conner praised the
boy scout organizations for diligent
work the entire time the show was
on Scouts of the different patrols
were responsible for the setting up of
booths and the cleaning mp of the
grounds late Saturday night. Another
organization mentioned by the carni-
val committee as being especially
efficient in its work was the girls
police. This force of thirty-five,
headed by Mrs. Ben Hampton, cleared
up almost one fifth of the net sales
in the law drags during one night
alone.
ION the whole, l think it was about
the most successful affair of the kind
ever pulled off in Chickasha," said
Mr.. Conner today. 1.-THE crowd Sat
urday night was the biggest l have
seen assembled here and the liberali-
~ displayed both nights was wonder
Agl Thanks are due everyone who
helped put the show across and the
interest aroused shows even greater
benefits were realized than those rep
resented by the direct sale OF
stamps"
Possible the best team work as tc
shows was displayed at the "Strong
Man" attraction, where George
Livermore, garbed in a bathing suit
grease, paint and the other neces
sary accouterments played the par
of "Sandow" to perfection, while
the enticing talk of j. w. Owsle!
official "speiler" of the show knock
ed many a quarter into the Wa
Chest of Uncle Sam. 1t was yer,
apparent that George and Mr.. O@s
