RINGLESS HOME
TALENT MADE
HIT IN PARADE

The Ringless Circus company ad.
yertised to put on an afternaan and
evening entertainment in Delta on
Friday April 8, made decided hit.
over reaching the most sanguine ex-
pectations of those whose good for
tune it was to witness it.
From far and near folks came As
much as an hour before the time an
nounced for the big parade, the
streets, gay with flags were thronged
with people, and parking room for
autos on the business section of
Main street was at a premium. 1t is
an unusual event for a circus such as
the Ringless to make the Western
Slope, and old and young alike we're
out for a holiday.
The parade made up of 900 school
students either in individual or group
stunts as directed by the supervisor.
headed by John Phillip Snooza's world
renowned band, was an event long to
be remembered in the annals of the
school history of Delta.
From the moment the COWBOYS and
girls, typical of the West. came in
sight mounted on their ponies until
the end, interest was unabated. Orig
inality in costuming and in depicting
of characters was featured, the vari-
Gus advisories and grades entering in
to competitive effort for cash prizes
The Indians, realistic in their war
paint and feathers, brought to mind
history and early day "reminiscences.
as did also group of children be-
longing to the grades who yisualized
the pioneer life in Colorado. They
were. dressed in the garb of the
pioneer and home seeker and car
ried banners which served to intro
duce them to the public.
A band of gypsies with their bright
colored sashes and head dress lent
color to the scene, while John Phillip
Snooza and his wonderful musicians
rendered classical (?) music at irreg-
ular intervals.
Dressed in dainty costumes, the
Greenwich Follies presented an at.
tractive and altogether pleasing pic
ture, grouped on a float decorated
in the high school colors of green
and white. They. too, assisted with
the music, by occasionally singing
snatches of catchy little songs.
The clown band and the colored
minstrels entertained with "jazz,"
the popular music of the day, their
mirth provoking antics being a fit
ting accompaniment and furnishing
amusement for the crowd.
Miss Mabel Caddy's girls. Fifth A.
are deserving of special mention.
Seated in beautiful decorated float
were fair ladies Of Japan. They rep
resented court life of that country.
A gay and attractive picture they
made with their bright kimonas and
vari-colored parasols.

children and older ones as well which

Mardi Gras In
New Orleans

IN 1927 some young Creole
Il gentlemen returning from their
studies in Paris decided to form
a street procession of masquer-
aders, in imitation of the carni
val celebrations in Southern Eu-
rope. The Creole population
greeted the first procession with
enthusiasm, and rumor has it
that Bernard de Marigny. then
in the heyday of his glory, was
in a large measure responsible
for it's success. Through Rue
Royale the gay throng of mask
ers made its way, while from
the grille balconies young Creole
bellies showered roses on the
merrymakers,
Some years later a more lavish
program was arranged, and the
ball at the Theatre d'Orleans
was long remembered for Its
gorgeous settings and the beau
ty and elegance of the guests
However, Mardi Gras, as 1t is
observed today, was unknown
until the year 1857, when the
Mistick krewe of Comus gave its
fit "r"" ession on movable floats:

''Can you tell me which is more

WHEN l was a little boy
" just big enough to sit
comfortably on the lower
doorstep of our house in the
country, with my elbows on my
knees and my head in my hands,
/ often had a solitary tussle
with infinity and eternity. which
thrilled me with strange inner
delight, somewhat like the curious
sensation produced by turning
swiftly on your heels until you
fall down. My mind seemed to
become deliciously dizzy.

to squeeze infinite into finite. We
can readily understand finite with

cannot understand finite in terms
