Here it comes! Only two weeks away
IS the one day of the year you can for
get all trouble and be certain of real
day of pure enjoyment. Many buzz
ing bee will hold forth on Idora's busy
midway, June Is, as friends of long
standing greet each other for the first
| Time in many years.
A meeting of the committee tonight
will check on every last detail of trans
| Dortation, prizes, sport program, eat
ing facilities, both restaurant and
pavilion, free coffee and cream, and
| the lO1 smaller items that go to make
the potters' annual outing the smooth
running successes that they are.
Dedicated, as it is. to the Golden An
niversary of the National Brotherhood
of Operative Potters, this picnic
carries more significance than the fif-
teen that have preceded it. 1t comes
at a time when the parent organization
can look back on fifty years of build
ing which has placed it at the head
of all others in the trade union move
ment. 1t is undoubtedly the most i'm
portant reunion so far sponsored and
it will just as undoubtedly be the best
attended, with between twenty and
twenty-five thousand potters and their
friends expected to crowd the popular
Youngstown park as they arrive from
the pottery centers in ;ae east, sssssi
west and SOUTH
Buses have been found to be a great
| improvement over the train used up
until few years ago and will again
carry happy loads direct to the park.
The committee has been unable to an
nounce schedule or prices from the
various cities, but will probably be able
to settle this tonight. The buses not
only afford more convenience in going
direct to the park, but are much more
flexible in their schedules. A mother
ready to take junior home can leave
on an early bus, while those wishing to
see all the fun can stay until the last
one leaves the park.
Don't forget to walk up to the
special booth to register for the paid
up dues prizes of 500, 1O0-piece
Warwick dinner set, three 53-piece
sets, and five prizes of years paid
up dues. You must have your book
with you. If you think you can also
take prize for the oldest couple, one
of whom is an active member, sign
your name again.
From eleven o'clock in the morning
when the first call is heard for the
baby show, you will not find one dull
moment at the park. In fact you will
be lucky if you are able to find time
to eat. At quarter of twelve you will
want to see the kiddies scramble for
pennies; at one o'clock there are the
athletic events on the baseball dia-
mond including rolling pin throwing
contest for the fair ones. You might
care to miss that.
If you rush in straight line to
the ball room, perhaps you can have a
couple of dances in by the time the
baseball game starts. The dancing to
Ace Brigode and his famed band is
free from 2:30 until 4 80 while the ball
game between Clarksburg's West Vir-
ginia state champions and Minerals
strong club starts promptly at 8.
The tap dancing contest is scheduled
for 3:15 in the theatre with the bath
ing beauty contest preceding it by
one-half hour.
Come supper time, you will prob
ably hear your name or that of
friend booming out over the loud
speakers for a dinner set, a pair Of
skates, hundred dollars or perhaps
tea pot. It's real thrill "
At 1880 you will surely wish to be
on hand for the boxing bouts which
Promoter Byron Foutts has promised
will be three absolutely top-notch
battles between leading glove tossers.
Latest word from Youngstown had
the park in AL condition awaiting the
coming Of the Potters. The rides have
been thoroughly inspected, slicked and
ready to go for many a safe and
hilarious trip. The eating pavilion has
been made tidy and the whole park has
the clean smell of strong soap and
fresh paint. The restaurant has been
given orders to prepare delicious
full-course meal for minimum cost.
Chairman George Goppert, who
should know having served as head of
the committee for the past sixteen
years, states that he is confident that
this years outing will be the best pre-
