PRIZES AWARDED WINNERS OF CONTESTS

Heavy rains, bad roads. detours and
washouts had not the effect to deter
| the Palladium carrier boys from at
/ tending the first annual carrier boys
picnic held at Camp Ki-Ro Sunday.
Though the heavy storm Saturday
night and Sunday morning rendered
an early start impossible, the carriers
of the Palladium in Richmond and
surrounding towns assembled and
clambered aboard three large motor
trucks and after many narrowing ex-
periences, reached the scene OF the
big time.
The first closed road was encounter
ed on South Fifth street where some
repairing is in progress. After the
caravan mad proceeded some miles, 1t
was necessary to detour on account OF
a bridge washout on the Richmond
Liberty pike and, through erroneous
instructions, the train passed through
Abingdon in search of road TO L10er-
ty.
South of Abingdon there was anoth-
er bridge demolished by the high wa
ter and it was necessary to return 10
the Richmond-Liberty highway again
and detour east. After another de-
tour through Clifton and close contact
rived at the boys camp entact.
