DONATION BY
KIDS KARNIVAL
Youngsters Make Donation To
Polio Fund From Profits
In Karnival Project
SOME PRIZES AWARDED

What started out to be fun and
adventure, ito give us something
to do in vacation, as the children
termed it, turned out to be bene-
fit for the polio fund, when the
youngsters who had run so success
fully their kids Karnival" decided
to share their profits with other
children, less fortunate than them
selves. For a whole week the
boys and girls on North Main
Street ran a carnival patterned
after the firemen's carnivals, and
their ingenuity, hard work, busi-
ness ability, and sustained interest
in the project paid off so well that
they had what looked like lot of
money to them so it was decided
to give five dollars to the polio
fund. They featured bingo, penny
pitching, games of chance, sold
punch, and sold chances on several
gifts which were awarded on the
closing day. The lucky winners
were Mrs. William Pritchard and
Diana Davis. Not only was there
money to send the polio fund but
each of the boys and girls, who had
worked so diligently on the carni-
val had a tidy sum. Held in the
yard at the home of DR.. and Mrs.
Pritchard, the venture was run by
Billy Pritchard, Barry Pritchard,
Bobby Pritchard, Tommy Price,
Susan Price, Sandra Poore, Robert
Ennis, Bruce Ennis. and Virginia
Ennis. The youngsters not only
made their project pay off but
learned a lot about publicity in
using the newspapers and
printed signs which appeared in
the business area of Smyrna. Con-
to the industrious
little group and best wishes for a
Kids Karnival each
year.

LEGION POST
GETS IRON LUNG
Portable Iron Lung Here And
Will Be Ready For Use
Within Few Days
ON DISPLAY AT CLAYTON

/ Although the fund subscribed by
business men and residents of the
Smyrna-Clayton area lacked ap-
proximately $475.0O of being
enough to pay for a portable iron
lung, the unit is now here and will
be ready for use within the next
few days. 1t was UNANIMOUSLY agreed
by members of the David C. Harri-
son Post, American Legion, that
the actual need for a lung could
quite possibly occur any day. The
polio season is at hand, and the
new unit might very well be the
direct means of saving a life.
Therefore, the Legion took the in
itiative and borrowed the addition
al sum necessary to make a cash
purchase of the much discussed
iron lung. When the iron lung ar
rived it was placed in the care of
Grant G. Garis, chief ambulance
driver. AS soon as possible the
new ambulance will be wired to ac-
comodate this added piece of life
saving equipment. Meanwhile,
solicitations are continuing for the
iron lung fund in the hope that the
necessary goal may soon be at
tained. Those who have not as yet
given to this worthy cause, may
feel assured that whatever their
donation, the sum will be CRATE
fully appreciated.
On Display at Clayton
This weekend the iron lung will
be placed on display at Sparks
Pharmacy, Clayton, so that resi-
dents may have the opportunity of
viewing this new and different
style of equipment. A house-to-
house canvass of the Clayton area
is to be made under the supervision
of Mrs. Lester S. Russell. The am
bulance report for the month of
July was given by Grant Garis. He
states that IL trips were made, and
386 miles Travelled. Three drivers
were used, c. C. Jones, Marvin A.
Davis and Mr.. Garis. Four assist
ants also served in this work, CAL
vim Foxwell, John w. Jacobs, Jr.,
John S. Griffin III and Frances c.
Warner. AT the last meeting, Mrs.
Grant G.. Garis visited the local
Legion Post in her newly elected
,ffice, that of Kent County vice
PRESIDENT of the American Legion
Auxiliary. She made a request
lrging increased membership in
he Harrison Post unit.
