The management is giving out the
tip that 1t would be worth while
to preserve your end of the en-
trance ticket when it is handed back
to you. A word to the wise should
be sufficient. Each child who hands
in an entrance will be entitled to
a free bottle of soda water or
cornucopia.
A large crowd is expected, and
plans are already completed for
looking after everyone so that no
one may go home without having
had good time.
