T SEEMED so much
like old times on
Wednesday, when all
roads led to the cir
Gus grounds on North
Walnut Street. There were times
when Milford seemed on the
beaten paths Of all but the very
large road shows, but lately
there has been a dearth of this
kind Of entertainment. Early
morning found many of the
young boys and even girls
ready to watch the big ten put
in place. The parade at noon
was a joy TO all and many were
along the line of march. The af-
ternoon and evening perform
hnces were well attended for
every parent rightly thinks it is
an offspriHg's due to be under
the big top, and see the wonders
performed by the animals.
Again we say Happy childhoed'
for no matter what the quality
Of the show. there are no ilIu-
sions for the tender age.
