/ Many persons who have bad occasion
to observe winter carnivals in other places
have said that they thought it remarkable
that Brattleboro citizens should have
demonstrated SO much interest and cnthu
/ aiaSm over the first carnival and the COM
mittee feels that the spirit shown auguI~
twell for the success of future like occa-
sionS.
The committee. however. does not claim
all the glory for the success of the carni-
val. ON the contrary, the members fee
that it would have been failure but for
the cooperation of a large number OF
: people and the general participation in
the events. Among those who deserve
particular mention the committee says
, are: The Brattleboro Retreat on whose
grounds the carnival was held and off
. cials of whom co-operated heartily in the
plans Mr.. and Mrs. Nat" w Niles and
