of the dfganizati6hs especially
agree that there will be no dis
elimination against men who did

Reflects Community Spirit
From the time of its inception the
carnival has reflected the growth and
spirit of the community. Regularly
each year the event has been held,
nearly always on the same date, and
each year sees marked expansion of
the affair. Where the row of hitch
ing-posts stood, to which not so many
years ago were tied the horses of the
few hundred visitors, is now a park
ing place for dozens of automobiles:
on the grass where once the couples
waltzed to the tune of the town musi-
clans jazz orchestra holds forth in
an oak-floored pavilion; the radio
concert has replaced many outgrown
attractions. and the lemonade and
soft-drink stands are crowded.

lures of the week is the Baby Show"

Model Statutes Framed

Each one of these subjects has been
considered by special committee of
the conference, and model statutes
prepared. Commissioners from every
State of the nation and from Alaska.
Hawaii. Porto Rico, and the Philip
pine Islands are to be represented ,at
the meetings when action on the pro-
posals will be taken.
During the 81 years OF the existence
OF the conference 81 uniform acts
have been adopted in the various
States and Jurisdictions. Twenty-six
uniform acts have been drafted and
approved by the conference as cover
ing the subjects which the commits
sioners believe should be handled by
the State legislatures and in such a
manner as to give general uniformity
between the various commonwealths.
The six-day session is to be taken
up largely with consideration and ac-
ton on committee reports and drafts
of bills. Increasing use of airplanes
for commercial purposes has caused
particular interest to be paid to a
proposed uniform law for adoption by
States governing the flight and re-
