1t is estimated that more than 500
children of Douglas attended the fourth
annual Kids party given Friday night
at the Elks home on Tenth street by
the Ell1s of Douglas lodge No. 955
From o'clock until nearly midnight
the several hundred children were
given the run of the clubhouse and an
endless number of games and stunts
were put on for their entertainment
Music was furnished throughout the
evening by the Elks orchestra and
upon completion of the program and
the games many of the children danced
About 10 o'clock confetti, horns and
other novelties were distributed and

A mad stampede of eager youngsters
answered the call for refreshments and
before the party was over 80 gallons
of ice cream and "a cases Of soda pop
had been dispensed. M
All members of the lodge who took
part in entertaining the children were
more than pleased with the success of
the party, and most of them seemed to
be enjoying the party as much as the
kids themselves.
The Kids party has become an an
nual affair with the local lodge and
