Famous Health
Clown is Coming
colonyRoc Arc Will Perform for the
Kiddies at the Stearns County
Fair Next Week.

Roco Arc, of the Arc Health Clown
Family, the jolliest family in the
Northern Division of the Red Cross,
will be in Sauk Centre on Septem-
ber 18th, when he will tell the chill
dren how to grow as strong as he is.
The Arc Health Clown Family are
the most highbrow members of their
profession in the show business this
season. They not only know the
technique of falling down, walking
on their hands, funny noises, laugh,
getting patter and slap, stick, but
they are child welfare specialists and
nutritional experts. They parade
the Fair Grounds like circus Pied
Pipers Turing a throng of children
into the Red Cross booth to be
weighed and tagged. Through their
comical antics they arouse in chill
dren the feeling that oatmeal and
spinach and milk are more desirable
than lollipops and chewing gum,
that tooth brushing and bathing are a
lark and that ripe bananas, broom
cucumbers and pickles are dietotic
vices to be Stunned.
Clown training courses were es.
tablished in the Northern Division OF
The Sauk Centre herald., 1920-09-09

the Red Cross so that every gradu-
ate clown would be grounded in the
rudiments of his profession. Rel
Cross peace projects, public health
keeping clinical records, opidomiolo-.
gy, children's diseases, nutrition, no.
mo service, publicity, and building Of
Red Cross exhibits are some of the
subjects in the clown curriculum.
Record cards, filled in by the doc
tor and nurse conducting the clina
giving the child's name, age, actual
and ideal weight, bear the clowns
likeness and are signed by him as a
souvenir to the children who are re-
auested to turn them in to the
school ynrse in the fall. The nurse
keeps a. duplicate record, which she
uses for intensive work with par
e41ts in cases which need special at
tention.
The Arc Health Clown Family is
having a hilarious reception wher-
ever members put on their stunt.
Educators, physicians, psychologists
and parents have mdorsed the move
ment, which is development OF the
Child Health Organization idea, be-
cause it inculcates health standards
in children through the play instinct
IN a way which insure the coopera-
ton and interest of boys and girls.

fair will be turned into a carnival
and the Mardi Grass spirit will pre-
vail There will be confetti, masks
and costumes, and the public will be
invited to turn loose and give vent
to it's pent up feeling of helarity.
An important parsonage at this
years fair will be the famous health
clown, sent here by the Minnesota
Red Cross to hold free children,s s
clinics. The clown will perform for
the kiddies and incidentally lure
them to his tent for examination, re-

Excellent Racing
Program at Fair
Nearly Thirty Horses Entered for
Pace and TrQt Meets-Three
Day Schedule

With the days of the Stearns
County Fair drawing near, the OUT
look for the fairs biggest attraction
the horse races, is growing better
and more interesting.
The adoption of race program
by the Fair Association, has been
generally considered most popu-
lar move, and Judging from the pres
ent outlook, this feature will be un-
usually attractive. @
Records this week show that twen-
ty-eight horses have been entered for
these races, all of these animals be-
ing unusually good, and holding tine
records in their past undertakings.
Only one sauk Centre horse is en-
tered this year, this animal being

Prairie but made a record at the
Benton County Fair last week.

will be few horses on the track which
have never appeared here before.
The race schedule is booked for
three days, two races taking place
each day. On the 18th, the 2:17 pace
and the 2: 25 trot will take place.
Each race being as many heats as
is found necessary according to the
rules of racing.
On the 18th will be the 2:1O pace
and the 2:25 pace, and the 17lh, the
|2:13 pace and the 2:18 trot.
| Because of the shortage of trotting
horses, it was necessary to change
the race schedule somewhat, as
horses cannot be raced two days in
succession.
Work on the track at the grounds
has been going on all week and it
| is believed that this track when
ready, will be one of the best for
horses races in the state.

be horns, crickets, stearm hats
and other articles given away,
and even father and mother
are expected to cast aside
their daily cares and act ike
youngsters again. Don't miss
