their efforts. Otwell Condor, presi
dent of Trades Council, was chairman
of this years committee. Though he
is new at the work he handled his
job in an old-time manner, and the
results achieved show that he has
much executive ability and is deserv-
ing of much individual praise for the
smooth manner in which the days
program was carried out.
While there is never much doing in
the morning, yet the early hours saw
many with well-filled baskets pouring
through the gates with the idea Of
making full day of it on the grounds.
Noon saw the program gradually un-
folding until within a short time
things were on in full swing, and
from then on there wasn't a dull
moment throughout the day and
"whoopee" reigned. Toward evening
the open spaces were dotted with
many family groups gathered about
well laden lunch .cloths, making a
pretty picture.
Mary Louise Hit
Lee Inman and his famous band
gave the celebration official startoff
shortly after noon in program of
| joy inspiring band music. In connec-
tion with the musical program one of
the big hits of the day was the sing
| ing of the cute little artist, Mary
Louise Dean, who has been creating
a real sensation among music low
ers hereabouts, and who certainly
went over big on Labor Day with her
catching rendering of a number of
songs, accompanied by the band,
afternoon and evening.
The outdoor pavilion took strong
with the dancers, who seemed tickled
pink with the catchy numbers rem
dered by Eugene Roberts and his
Wolverine Gaylords. The dancers
were 10th to quit at IL o'clock when
the last number was played.
The Rabbit Show, conducted under
the auspices of the Butler County
Rabbit Club, proved interesting to
hundreds. The awards were as fol-
lows: Best rabbit in show, cup do
mated by Trades Council, won by
Jacob Scheid, r. r. Z, Hamilton; best
Chinchilla doe, cup donated by the
Forest Rose Fur Rabbit Farm, Lam
caster, Ohio, awarded to Aker Rose,
of Lebanon, Ohio; most points, cup
donated by Butler County Rabbit
Club, awarded to the Ideal Rabbitry.
of Hamilton
"Rube" Smith and his wife did
much to keep everybody smiling,
korno and the other games drew big.
The country store was bird, and did
land-office business, and the ladies
of the Womens Union Label League,
bless their good souls, were every
where and always on the job. Usu-
ally just when things seem to be 60
ing blooey for want of help, always
member of the Women's Union La
bel League pops up and fills the gap.
What would we do without them?
Much credit and thanks are due
Chief Calhoun for the fine police serv-
ice given, and the great work of the
Boy Scouts in directing traffic and
other service rendered.
Joseph Thinner, of Lindenwald, was
the happy recipient of the handsome
automobile given away, and Ernest
Betz, R. R. 8, copped the cash
prize given.
Without doubt the fireworks was
the most pleasing display seen in
many years. A new company, the
Dayton Fireworks Co., had the con-
tract and put on stuff that was al
together new and made a big hit with
the thousands gathered at the
grounds and on surrounding hilltops
to view the display.
All in all, Hamilton's thirty-sev-
enth celebration of labor's great day
was huge success, and the commit
tee in charge desires to thank all
those who in any way contributed to
this success. @
