Y WCACARNIVAL
SATURDAY WAS
SOME SHOW
Miss Clare Conner Realizes
$3.50 for Girls Work De-
ment, to Be Expended on
Big Summer Camp.

Yes, it was some show. The crowd
that visited the Carnival given Sat
urday night in the lot before the Of
flee building of the Great Southern
Lumber Company pronounced that
the show was worth the money and
then some. All was in readiness for
the big events at $3.50 p. m. Satur-
day. Avenue B, in the vicinity of
the big tent, was aglow with lights,
and dangerously crowded with auto
mobiles and crowds of people. The
show ground was dotted with more
than half-dozen tents made of pa
per. and from every angle the peo-
pie were piling into the buildings
and dropping their money.
Miss Clare Conner was there. She
was the moving spirit in getting it
up. In fact, Miss Clare is girls sec
rotary of the Y. w. G.. A., and has
been. consumed with a desire to show
the girls a good time in big camp
ing affair during August, and Just
had to have $50 rom somewhere
and decided that the way to get it
was to earn it and give Bogalusa a
good time while she was at it. She
planned and carried out the program,
with the assistance of FORT junior
girls, six seniors, four Y. NJ. G.. A.
members and nine bankers. The en-
tentainment was a success and Miss
Conner has the credit for it.
But host of people assisted her.
The Great Southern Lumber Com
pany constructed the tents without
cost to the Y. w. G. A. w. S. Gard
iner stood by and bossed the job and
was bossed in turn by the women,
all the time delivering the goods just
at the appointed hour and in the
proper manner. The Junior mem
'bers sold most of the tickets and
and some of the men stood by and
aided in operating the booths and
sideshows. Every show was good,
but the big show was the main at
traction. = 80 a-%gSi saaE
me main show included an aero
batic stunt by Y. M. G. A. boys that
was hard to beat. Miss Dewetta
Burkitt and Miss Minnie Rankin of
Columbia, Miss, did a fencing turn
that was near professional. A one
act minstrel by the juniors was also
a Fields success, as it had been adj
vertised The solo.work in this num-
Der by Miss Lucille Mackie deserves
special mention. Theo Pollock
brought down the house with solo,
and Miss Flora Sutton and Geraldine
Bell made hit with their duet. The
gypsy scene, during which the color
and light effect was most exquisite,
was hard to surpasS and the singing
during this act by Mrs. S. Lacy Dick
erson was strictly high class. From
the standpoint of the artistic, Mrs.
Betty Sullivan-Frith ranged well to-
ward first in her musical i4terpreta-
tons by dancing steps and poses. In
all, however, few numbers showed
more skill than the various selections
Of instrumental music played by Kin
ney Scott.
The side shows were strictly anus
ing. The visitor who has not objec- |
tons to hearty laugh for a nickel |
got his moneys worth every time he
entered tent The "only one in
captivity" proved to be bottle of |

we're not allowed to feel of it to see
