AT THE IOWA PICNIC

Taking advantage of the pres
ence in Minneapolis of the Asso-
ciated Iowa clubs, their hundreds
of delegates and the many unique
entertainments planned for their
pleasure, many local people were
able to offer for the entertainment
of their own guests some of the
enjoyable hours made possible by
the out of town visitors. This was
especially evident at the picnic
given Sunday afternoon, August
Is, at Glenwood park where the
visitors assembled by the hundred
for the amusements prepared for
them by the local management.
Numbers of private luncheon
parties merged with the Iowans,
greatly increasing the throng and
adding appreciably to the gaiety
and uniqueness of the occasion.
Like the candid camera man who
busted himself all the afternoon
taking shots of the unconscious
crowd as it ate, visited and lis
tened this correspondent was all
over the confines Of the park to
gather items of interest and in
formation for the pleasure of our
readers.
On a knoll just beyond the
speakers stand we found Mr.. and
Mrs. W. M. Smith and their daugh-
ter, Miss Essie R. Mason, enjoy
ing the hospitality of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Wright of Robbinsdale. With
them were Martha and Boyd, chill
dren of the Wrights. At the same
table were Mrs. Fannie Anderson
and her guest, Mr.. VIM. johnson,
together with Mr.. and Mrs. J. E.
Brown of st. Paul and their four
young children. The table was
beautifully laden.
Further on were Mr.. and Mrs.
Cicero Durdeen, of Chicago, Miss
L. Searcy, also of Chicago, Miss
Josephine Roberts of the same
city, being entertained by Mr.. Ira
Allen, of 1916 4th Avenue South,
whose guests they were.

PARTY AFFAIR-HALLIE @.
BROWN HOUSE-THURSDAY
AND FRIDAY, AUG. 26 81,
500 P. M.

500 P. M.
Because of city ordinance pro-
hibiting the blocking of streets in
st. Paul and the difficulty in get
ting proper lighting effects without
too much expense to the commit
tee, The Block Party has been
changed to a carnival at Halle @.
Brown House on the same dates as
have been given for the Block
Party Aug. 26 and 81. The various
activities will be conducted as was
originally planned. Delicious home
made bakery goods will be sold by
the Bakery Committee-Jose Will
iams, chairman.
Hot dogs, pop, candy, cracker
jacks and ice cream.
A ton of coal, a magazine rack
and many worthwhile awards to be
given away at the Halle Q. Brown
Benefit Carnival which will be held
at the Community House August
26 and 81, instead of the 600 Block
of st. Anthony Avenue. Several
city ordinances prevented having a
block party in the manner in which
it was originally planned, conse-
quently a big carnival with many
attractions will take it's place.
Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1937-08-20
Benefit Carnival To
Substitute Block Party

AS a part of the affair Evelyn
Kelly is heading a committee that
will put on 15c or 2 for quar-
ter card party the same night in
the building. Jose Williams is
chairman of a Bakery Sale Com
mittee that will have all kinds of
home made goodies for sale.
One entire room will be devoted
to dancing while the more ambi-
tious patrons of the carnival will
try their skill at winning some
gifts from widely and varied as
sortment of fine prizes. There will
also be plenty of good things to
eat. The Carnival is being given
to raise $4,000 from our commune
ty to add to an $4,000 gift to COM
plete the cost of 100000 worth of
remodeing which will be made on
our building beginning August 80.
This carnival is one of perhaps
several affairs. The more support
you give the carnival the fewer
benefits we will have to give to
raise this small amount. You can
make your contribution by patron
izing the carnival and come and
have loads of fun.

Mr.. and Mrs. Jesse Thomas,

Among them were the Misses
Sadie Hopkins and Katherine
Reader of Chicago. The balance
were Minneapolis people, all of

Mr.. and Mrs. J. B. Levy, 1886 4th

quota to welcome the convention
visitors. Among others we noted
Mrs. Birdie HE, office attendant
of the st. Paul Urban League, Mr..
and Mrs. Chester Elkins, Mrs.
Clarita Jackson, Oliver Lewis, Mrs.
Margaret Godette, Deloris Vasser
and baby Joyce.
A line of people that seemed I'M
ending marched with plates in hand
through the grounds hard by the
impromptu kitchen erected for their
convenience, and were served cafe
style by a veritable host of walters.
Many complimentary remarks were
heard from the visitors extolling
the plentitude and the quality of
the food given them without
money and without price.
The occasion was made further
enjoyable by a program of band
music and vocal selections by
members of the Herrod Jubilee
chorus, by interesting speakers
who sought to clarity the ambitious
scope of the far flung and vital
undertakings of the Associated
Iowa clubs.
Several hundred public and pri-
vate motor cars were used to con-
vey to the park the host of people
who gathered in what is said to be
the largest and most successful
picnic ever given in this citv.
