fulfilled his promise SO far by start

early.
Brother Osborn Snyder has accept

agement, Spencer Piall of the local,
and the 100 per cent cooperation of
the membership, the finest picnic this
local has ever had was staged. Ice
cream, hot dogs, pop, all day suckers
and coffee were served free Of charge
to everyone throughout the day. By
the looks on the kiddies faces there
sure must have been a few stomach
aches on Thursday morning. The tired,
weary and dry throated adults in at
tendance gurgled down seven and one
half barrels of that cool, refreshing,
amber colored fluid, commonly called
beer, to the tune of five cents glass.
The first thing on the program was
the baby show. First prize went to
Sonny Swiatkowski; second prize,
Donny Murawski. Next came the
races, starting with three year old
girls and boys and on up to rs years
of age The winners of the different
events were as follows: Lois, Peggy
Ann and Joan Osborn, Norman Piz-
ikiewicz, John Sciboran, Dean Patche,
Irene Mickels, X. Houserman, Eleanor
Pizikiewicz, Eleanor Osborn, Marie
Mickels, Clara Sczepaniak, Millie Fol-
ger, Rose Desarno, Mary Sciboran,
Hughie Gamer, Johnny Urban, John
Harrington, Raymond Ruszela, Vince
Donavon, Tony Desarno, Jack Leavey,
Mrs. Jack Leavey.
In the horse shoe pitching contest,
Chester Simon had few too many
ringers tucked away in the shoes, so
it was just too bad for the other con-
testants. The tug of war was cinch
for the management against the local,
with r. E. Gould on the anchor end
for the management and Spencer Piall
on the tail end for the local. Three
good heaves and the local boys were
pulled over the Fair Grounds. AS
their reward they were given a shupe
of beer holding exactly one-half ounce.
This sure gave the crowd a lot of
laughs.
