, 9th to 19th-Firemen'S Parade
5 On Thursday
Plans for the Fourth Annual Fire
= mems Carnival are fast taking form
= as was indicated by a meeting Of the
carnival committee held recently
= Herman Johnson was named chair
man Of the committee and he pre-
= sided over the meeting.
If the plans of the committee go
through, the pleasures derived at
the carnival will be second only to
the great Kent and Sussex Fair
which just closed its most success
full season.
Thursday, September 18th, has
been designated as firemen's night,
when it is expected that fire COM
panies from all over the Eastern
Shore will be present together with
their equipment and bands. Invita-
tions have been sent out to twenty
companies in Delaware, Maryland
and Pennsylvania. Over one hundred
dollars in cash and silver loving
cups will be awarded to the lucky
companies in the parade. This is the
| first firemen's parade ever scheduled
for Harrington and it is hoped to
give the local citizens and visitors
an opportunity to view the progress
being made in the matter of fire pro-
lection. Delaware ranks first in the
United States both in modern equip
ment and small fire losses. Modern
up to date fire equipment means a
great saving in insurance rates. The
starting point and the route of pa
rade will be named at a later date
as well as the judges who will make
the awards.
This year permission has been
granted by City Council for the use
of North Commerce street. One of |
the best merry go rounds in this |
section has been secured to enter |
tain the kiddies as well as the |
grownups. Also one of the best bands
in lower Delaware will furnish mu-
sic for the occasion.
With the idea of increasing the
profits of the fire company, which is
to be devoted to the new engine
fund, the ladies of the town will be
asked to cooperate in every way
with the eating booth. In previous
years this concession has been let
out to EXAMINATIONS on a $3.50 basis.
The following committee heads
have been named by the committee
and they are expected to select their
assistants: Supt. of grounds, Her
man Johnson; treasurer, Theodore
hot dog stand, Benjam-
in Emory; lamp stand, Jas. L. Harm
stead; blanket booth, Earl Sylvester;
candy booth, Grover G. Lord; bingo
game, w. A. Brotemarkle; canes,
Alton Collins; ladies booth, George
W. Swain; balls and babies, Brown
lee Billings.
