Fifth Miss. Enterprise Riddle
Picnic 10 Be Biggest
Ever Given
Paper Will Entertain
All Children Of jackson
Monday, August Il

AS this goes to press, plans have
begun for what is expected to be
the biggest and best picnic ever
given by this paper, a picnic given
for newsboys, Junior Idea Club
members, members of the Citys
Sunday Schools, Boy Scouts and
children from the various play
grounds, in fact children all over
the city
This year, as last year, the picnic
will be given on the grounds of the
skating rink, Pocahontas Road, and
the inside of the building will be
used for other forms of entertain
ment. Music will be provided thru
out the day.
All children are invited. Buses
will leave the office of The Miss
issippi Enterprise 143 E. Monument
street, at 1920 am. MONDAY
MORNING, AUGUST 81. A small
fee of 10 cents will be asked for
children riding these buses.
Those who do not care to meet
at the office can take No. 5 Bus
and walk one and a half block to
skating rink.
: large supply of free refresh
ments are being provided by The
Mississippi Enterprise and cooper
ating merchants and friends. These
refreshments will be served to ev-
cry child present as long as they
last.
These Big Free Picnics begun
four years ago by Mrs. S. M. Har-
vey of The Mississippi Enterprise,
in an effort to entertain the chill
dren of Jackson for one entire day,
thereby showiassg the PAPERS apbre-
citation for the patronage given by
our readers, have grown bigger and
bigger each year. The first one was
held in 1910 at the CoIored Fair
Gronds. In 1941 it was held on the
grounds of the East Side Recrea-
9ohal Center on Mississippi Street.
In 1912 the picnic was held on the
grounds of the Elk's Rest on Erie
street in connection with the Rec
reational Center being conducted
at the Rest.
Members of the city recreation
department have been asked to CO.
operate in planning a well balanced
recreation program which will in
clude competitive contests, in which
prizes will be awarded winners of
the several events.
Parents will be invited to accom-
pany their children if possible.
Because of rationing many of the
summer camps held annually are
out this year and because of this
fact, many children will have to
go thru the whole summer without
any such form of recreation and it
is mainly because of this that The
Mississippi Enterprise hopes and
plans to make this years picnic
bigger and better than ever before.

Spur Rewards
In Kidnapping

Prosecutor Bowling and Inspec-
tor George Mcclellan of the spe-
cial investigation squad, today
were to request the county board
of auditors to reinstate the $500
reward posted last year in the
kidnapping of baby Paul Jeva-
hirian.
County Auditor Jacob p. Sum-
eracki said the auditors would
comply with Dowling's request as
soon as ii is made.
Since the kidnaper of the Jeva-
hirian child is believed to have
been the same red haired nurse
maid who Oct. 7 stole 20-month-
old Ronnie Thompson from his
Dayton (O.) home. the auditors
reward would swell the total Of
fered in the two kidnapings TO
S1,700.
Two private rewards totaiing
$500 have already been offered
for return of the Jevahirian child,
who now would be two years and
four months old.
One was posted by special in
vestigator, the other by young
Pauls grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Soukias Jevahirian, from whose
home at 2725 Chene he was stolen
in June, 1913.
In Dayton a reward pool
started by the Navy Mothers
Club and swelled by citizens con-
tributions now totals 500 and is
growing hourly.
