HAVANA LIFE SPICED
BY FIESTA SEASON
Parades and Carnival Contests
Make Streets Riot
of Color.

HAVANA, Cuba. Jan. 29.-Cuba's
annual carnival season, which will
last throughout February and until
the middle of March, will this year
include a revival Of the picturesque
celebration Of the "comparsa." which
dates back to the earliest slave days
in Cuba. Last year was the first time
in two decades that the "comparsas"
were part Of Havana's gala fiesta
season. and the celebration was so
successful 1t will be enlarged and
elaborated this year.
These unique phases Of Cuba's great
festival are extraordinary competitions
by groups Of dancers from the towns
and country side OF Cuba, who come
in large delegations to the capital. In
the streets Of Havana, during the big
carnival parades, these groups Of ma
tive performers vie for honors in
dancing, music, costumes and gorgeous
trappings and properties used In the
dance routine. Huge, elaborate can
delabra, some even resembling small
temples, are carried aloft on bamboo
poles, and at certain stages become
important adjuncts in the entertain
ment. One prize-winning group last
year carried "birdhouse" with COL
lapsible walls to reveal q beauteous
senorita in native dress.
Every Sunday various theaters and
clubs, hotels and cabarets will hold
carnival dances and masque balls.
Contests in the rhunba and other typi-
cally Cuban dances will be staged,
with prizes awarded by the Municipal
Tourist Commission of Havana. There
will be beauty contest and parade
In typical Cuban costumes, an inter-
national music festival, a contest by
military and municipal bands and
special spectacular illumination Of
public buildings, monuments, parks
and principal avenues.

Andrzej Kanabus, chief chef Of one OF
the popular cruises in southern wa

seur Of food Chef Kanabus has made
it his business and pleasure to taste
all the exotic dishes to be found in
Caribbean ports.
"The main characteristics Of these
foods" he says. ARE hsh and tropical
vegetables. although the supply Of
meats and poultry Is adequate, gen.

known as longoostas. are priced for
their large meaty tails since their
claws seldom grow larger than q
mans finger. Equally popular are
crabs, both land and sea. All other
things being equal one may eat In
Caribbean restaurants at most rea-
sonable prices.

Attendance was not quite as good
as it was the night of the election but
wasn't at all bad. We should feel just

meetings where business touching
every member is considered as we do
on special occasions. Why not show

Cronin Plant Head
Dies Very Suddenly
Daniel Cronin Injured When
Thrown From Horse

Daniel M. Cronin, 40, president of
the Cronin China Co. of Minerva, died
in Canton's Mercy hospital last Thurs
day morning following a heart attack.
Mr.. Cronin sustained back injuries
when he was thrown from a horse
while riding near his country home,
outside of Carrollton. His condition
was reported very good at the hos
pital earlier Thursday morning and he
was to be discharged the same day.
After making a number of telephone
calls to business associates he became
very weak and told friend in the
room with him that he was dying.
He was born in East Liverpool
April II, 1889, a son of MIR. and Mrs.
Con Cronin. He attended the local
high school and business college, after
which he went to work for the old
Citizens National Bank. Two years
later he entered the Standard Pottery
Co., a business founded by his father,
Patrick McNicol and Edward Smith.
Upon the death of his father in
December, 1920, he became head of
the company. About Is years ago the

Vice Presidents Pay

Organizers Give Pointers To
Bisque Wdremen

Local Union No. 1873 held a very
excellent meeting May when Vice
Presidents James MCGOWAN and Joshua
Chadwick were present. Both gave
US some fine pointers on our organ
ization and told us why it pays to be-
long to a union which has always
fought for the rights of the working
man.
One of the important points of their
talks was the fact that you must at
tend local meetings to realize any good
from the organization. The local is no
better than the members make it and
attendance is the foundation of any
organization. This is true and we
would like to see all the Brothers pres
ent at the meeting next Thursday
night. Help make 1873 one hundred
per cent local.
We would like Brother Chadwick
and MCGOWAN to know that they will
be very welcome any time they can
find the time to pay US another visit.
We realize we can use all the good
advice we are offered and are anxious
to get it.
We expect everyone to come out and
enjoy himself with us at the next
meeting.-O. c. 1873.

ber of questions were solved and a

pate.
There will be regular meetings of
