THE WINTER CARNIVAL

"Now is the winter Of our discon-
tent made glorious blythe winter
carnival The inspiration for the
carnival? Possibly from that same
source Kipling drew: "Yours is the
earth. and everything that's in it,"
The spirit that makes the best of
things, the tonic of obstacles over

calling the tune and causing grim
Winter to dance to the music The
old fellow is obstinate this year. One
is reminded of: "Uprosc the wild old
and shaking 'his beard of snow"
but Health and Jollity" ever did
command his admiration.
So it comes about that the winter
carnival here at Augusta will mean
for us what we make it mean. The
record of our making to date is
brilliant. Seemingly no detail has
been overlooked. Now it is up to us
to properly finish that which has
been so well begun. Winter is here
in all the pomp Of circumstance. The
eXhilaration from graphing with the
lusty old fellow may DC ours for the
effort. Dull Care has no place in the
lists. Health and Jollity have beat
On him to it, have taken over the
charge of affairs. They call for VOL
untocrs. The response will be a
hearty one, especially as the events
are fascinating, exciting and stir the
b!ood to action.
The winter carnival may be made
factor of much Importance to COM
munity and augusta is very fortuna &c
in having those who have willingly
and generously given of efforts and
funds. Maine has the real simon
pure winter, no doubt about that
Switzerland nor the Lady of Shows"
have anything on Maine, on Augusta,
for that matter. Those who travel
and become acquainted with condi-
tons abroad and at home are i'm
pressed by this.
1t appears that the winter carnival
spirit first found expression in Au-
Eusta in the Augusta Snow Shoe ,
Club formed here by w. II. Gannott
twenty-five years ago. We are re-
minded of this by some of the Illus
trations in the Journals Augusta

where now will he held the principal
events of this carnival of 1923. The
projects of that club for various rea-
sons became crowded into the back |
ground and the idea of substantially
encouraging winter sports took new
lease of life when the Chamber of
Commerce two years ago had w. r. |
Iindlay of Montreal come here and !
address special meeting on this
subject. Mr.. Gannctt at once fell in
with the ideas of Mr.. Findlay and it
is largely through his energy and
financial support that we had n sue
