F26', FIREWORKS DISPLAY AGAIN SUCCESSFUL The annual fireworks display was held in Hillcrest on Monday night and, proved 'moat successful to date-- Johnny Crowson was the organizer and was in charge of setting off the explosives, Permission had been granted by the town police to block off the road which allowed the spectators to enjoy the display without the interference of vehicles cruising up and down the street. The CKNX mobile unit was on hand and Bruce St. George made all announcements from the unit. Refreshaaents were served to the children of parents who 'had con- tributed to the cause and over 200 hot -dogs, with all the trimmings, were handed out. Each "one also re- ceived a 'bottle of pop. On the re- freshment committee were Prov. Oonst, Ron and. Mrs. Bell, Mr. and Mrs. Ross Wormworth, . Mrs... D. Grummett and o Jack Lewis. Cy Robinson donated ten dozen hot dog rolls. for. the occasion. The evening was climaxed when the children were given sparklers and the park was transformed into What .appeared. to be a ape,. ,of .. firea flies. A near tragedy as far as the youngsters was averted when Jahnny Crowson managed to get enough sparklers, after a large order failed to arrive. This has become an annual event isi Hillerest. and a sensible answer to the fireworks problem. Each family which contributes 43 to the cause is entitled to witness the display and the children each re- ceive .one hot dog and a bottle of pop, Each year more people , in the surrounding area participate and feel that it is an excellent safety measure as well as a, lot of fun for the kiddies.
