Weather Defeated In Effort
To Ruin IndustrY's
Big Day
10000 MAKE TRIP
Many Friendships Renewed
On MidwaY Of Park
Lost Saturday

Picnic were back again stealing the
spotlight before Brotherhood members
and their friends, estimated from ten
to fifteen thousand, at Chippewa Lake
Park last Saturday. X. o. Weather
h nan had his best workout of the year
The night before the annual fight. He
ead been particularly impressive all
Iweek as he rained blows with thunder
ing effect. 1t was kid Tradition,
however, who, after slow start and
a near knock out in the early rounds,
punched and jabbed out victory over
his lightning adversary. So, once more
it can be stated that Potters Picnic
day is certain to be one of the best
of the year even though X. o. did
get in a foul blow after the close of
the fight making it hard for some of
the potters to drive home.
The large park, with it's excellent
beach, many rides, fine open air
theatre, cool breeze and gracious at
tendants, made big hit with the pot
tiers who acclaimed the reunion as the
best of the fifteen.
1t was noted early that the MEM
bers of the Brotherhood were backing
"Kid" Tradition as they started to
stream into the huge parking lot be-
fore nine o'clock. They placed their
bets, knowing that his handlers, Cop
pert, Turner and Watkin, Picnic Com
n.ittee officials, always had winner
in their stable.
Many an old and almost forgotten
friendship was renewed as the work
-ers gathered on the midway or at one
: 8sf s the features on the all-day pro-
gram. President James M. Duffy was
a busy man greeting visitors from the
Lyarious locals throughout the trade
hile trying to find time to win book
i tickets on the Buick. Secretary
treasurer John McGillivray believed
he lost a little weight trying to keep
up with the rapid program. First Vice
President E. l.. Wheatley did himself
proud in the fat mans race, winning
peanut and popcorn money by finish
ing second.
Second Vice President Frank Hull
found everything to his liking includ-
ing the mineral water with the dis
tinctive sulphur taste to be found in
the many fountains, while Third Vice
President George Chadwick found q
ready audience for his stories.
The Eastern members Of the Board,
with the exception of Mr.. Wheatley,
were unable to be present and both
Sixth Vice President George Turner
and newly elected Seventh Vice Presi-
dent William Watkin had busy days
serving on the committee. Seeing so
many old friends made it hard for
Eighth Vice President Joshua Chad
wick to take in a majority of the
scheduled events.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Want, ages
"a and 60, were winners of the prize
for the oldest couple. Mr.. Want is
a member of Local Union No. AZ,
Salem. Mr.. and Mrs. William T.
Ferguson, representing L. U. So was
the second oldest couple registering.
Shirley Mae Wiley, 13 month old
daughter of dishmaker Sam Wiley,
Minerva, put on quite show of plain
and fancy skidding on the slick dance
ssoor before being presented with the
Ewing cup for first place in the baby
show of 100 entrants.
Nurses Lillian Baker, Mary Ton
asek, Rita Ryant and Mrs. Thomas
Cartwright picked Donald Lawrence
Owens, Is months, for second place.
Warehouseman Cecil Owens of Ches-
ter is the proud father. Third place
went to Audrey Charlene Runyon who
will be three in January. The parents
are Mr.. and Mrs. Bert Runyon of East
Liverpool. Mrs. Runyon was a potter
prior to being married.
Patricia Jean Parsons, East Liver
pool, with as clever an acrobatic rou-
tine as you will see in many a day
walked away from the outing with
first prize in the class A "a to s years)
hap dancing contest. Pete Shoup and
Zeides, team from Alliance,
took second honors with comedy dance.
Third place went to Dona Jean Hee-
stand of Sebring. Shirley Ann Flick
niger of Alliance was the only con-
testant in the older group who had no
worries about top money, but it would
have taken an excellent dancer to de-
feat her.
A toothpaste smile and curly hair,
set off by a eye-testing red bathing
suit enabled four year old Arlene Ann
McKenna to take home the loving cup
