I've been messed up with a lot
of these affairs and while what is
scheduled is always a deep dark
secret, know, enoughE about the
coming show to tell YOU that it is
going to be WOW, with, skits that
are louder and funnier, gags and
stunts that are faster and wilder,
and if you enjoy sleep or have a
weak heart you had better take
my advice and not come any
where near the Haven Hotel that
evening.
Al Shaffer has secured some
exceptionally fine professional
talent for grandstand attractions
this year and these outstanding
hippodrome acts will be present
ed each afternoon and evening
during the Festival.
Tourists and winter visitors
will find themselves well repaid
if they make it a point to visit
Winter Haven next week and
take in this great festival, held in
tribute to Florida's citrus indus

Fairs and Festivals have. al

something ABOUT them that gets
under my skin and each year
when fair time" arrives I get
all excited and like a kid at the
circus I like to browse around
and watch the show in the max

the miraculous transformation Of

Orange Festival is in the making
and l can promise you it is going
to be a great show. Carpenters,
electricians, artists and decora-
tors are working >, feverishly to
complete the booths which will
present those marvellous displays
of citrus fruits.
Each year it seems that the
peak of exhibit technique has
been reached, but when the next
year rolls around new ideas and
new methods of presentation al
ways seem to produce still more
attractive displays.
The Florida Orange Festival is
fortunate in having a staff of as
able fair men as it is possible to
find, with Earl Brown, AL Shat
fer and George Clements, all of
Worlds Fair fame, contributing
their best knowledge and expert
ence in the development of a big
ger and better show.
Last year, with one of the
greatest and most impressive
shows ever assembled, the Orange
Festival took it on the chin from
Old Man Winter when the worst
cold spell of the season struck
Florida on the opening day and
stayed with us through the en-
tire week.

py weather we are experiencing
this week will be over with and
that the sun will be shining
bright and CHEEKY all next week,
for good weather is all that is
needed to make the 1941 Festival
a success. Festival officials have

NEW YORK CAMP - At the
corClave of the Lambda Kappa Mu
sorority the group turned its atten-
tion towards the education of chill
dren of sharecroppers in the south
ern states. Mrs. Florence K. Nor
man, the national organizer, urged
the group to adopt as many of these
children as possible, either by TAX
ing them into heir homes or max
ing themselves responsible for the
education of two or more of these
children.
Mrs. Norman made the initial
step by taking into her home little
Clara Warner of Minerva, KY.
Clara's father is a sharecropper,
and she has II older brothers and
sisters. She finished the grammar
school at Minerva with the highest
honors of the class, and last year
she won the state spelling bee. She
has maintained a high average
right through her entire school
work.

states that music and designing
go hand in hand. He says he
finds much inspiration for
clothes in music,
Through the suggestion of a
friend, Julian Dempsey made
some sketches of clothes he be-
lieved suitable for Mrs. Roose-
welt. He sent them to the White
House with a note. Two weeks
later she wrote him adding that
she was interested IN an evening
gown he had sketched, asking
him to submit a more complete
drawing. Of course he was quite
excited about this order and it
is to his credit as a designer that
Mrs. Roosevelt wore his evening
gown at the first diplomatic re-
ception of the season and also
during the inaugural festivities.
Asked about Mrs. Roosevelt's
conduct during fittings, Julian
Dempsey states that he found
her kind and considerate and yet
firm about her personal prefer
ences. She never wasted his time
fassing over trivialities.
Regarding his plans for the
future, Dempsey announced that
he is leaving for California next
month where he hopes to estab-
lish himself as a dress designer
