CLINTON GIRL WINS. CAR IN LIONS FROLIC Miss Madeline VanHorne Holds, Lucky Ticket A lot of fun and excitement pre- vailed at the frolic sponsored by the Lions Club which was held in the Arena last night. A huge crowd from Clinton and, surrounding towns filled the rink to capacity and everyone seemed to have a good time, trying to win a prize at: Bingo and other games. • The excitement reached its peal when the lucky tickets were drawni for the various prizes. Ten people, were selected from the audience, ands the first number drawn was held by Miss Madeline •VanHorne, Clinton,. who held the lucky ticket on the new Ford V-8, which was presented to her at the rink. .Other prize -winners were as fol- lows: Occasional Chair, D.

There was a competition held at the rink for various types of mutts arid there was still more fun as the dogs were being judged for the prizes. We were unable to find out a com- plete list of prize winners but some of them are as follows: Ken Miller had the smallest dog.. Bobby Taylor had the ugliest dog.
