celved here by Charles W. Love. su-
pervisor of the north Georgia district
for the campaign, from }. w. Car

OF the campaign for Barrow county.
Mr.. Darlington, who is one of the
leading business men of Winder, ad-
vised Mr.. Love tlat the county went
over the top the first day of the cam
paign, Monday, May 10, and that
ms ney was still coming in.
Barrow is very small county,"
said Mr.. Darlington; "and while our
quota was only $3.50 the speed with
which this has been more than SUBJ
scribed shows the intense interest felt
by the public in the Salvation Army
and the work it has done for the
needy in the past and what it intends
to do. If we can go over the top the
first day of the campaign we intend
to go considerably beyond our quota
before the good work ends May 20.'i

the field for the queen and her atten-
dants. The queen, Miss Ruth Conner,
was escorted by H. B. Mashburn, who
officiated at the crowning. ceremony
as mayor pro tenn of the city, he
having beein designated for this serv-
ice when Mayor j. E. Sheppard had
stated that he would be out of the
city and unable to attend. Mayor
Sheppard was present, however, and
later the crowning ceremony, with
him officiating, was repeated for the
moving picture cameras.
Following the queen and her escort
came the maids of honor in charming
costumes of tulle and lace and other
materials familiar to the female of
the species, in shades of mink, laven-
der and white, and carrying bou-
quets of roses and other spring flow
ers. Next came the little dancing
girls, in butterfly costumes, the May
pole dancers, in charge of Mrs. C.
o. Niles, the special dancers, and
the overall boys, with the baby pa
rade bringing up the rear.
Some fifty baby turnouts, every
one of them attractive, were in line.
They circled the field once and lined
up on one side of the grounds in close

judges found it difficult to make de-
cision was indicated by the fact that
they made several trips up and down
the line of smiling and cooing-and
in some instances, having infants.
Their decisions were announced later
in the day by Mr.. Sherman, the play
ground director, and the prizes dis
tributed at the time.
The various dances followed imme-
diately, with the boys stunts com
pleting the program.
During the entire performance mo-
tion pictures were being taken which
will be shown all over America.
James B. Buchanan, Of the Fox News
feature, and Roy Kluver, of the In
ternational Film Service, who came
last Saturday to film the fete-or the
most interesting features of it-not
having been informed of its postpone
ment, returned and were on the
grounds with their camera through
out the entire program, and were still
taking posed pictures when the pro-
gram closed.
