Early in the afternoon things started to happen on the main street and by six o'clock acomplete transformation had taken place. Hun- dreds of gaily colored lights be-deck- ed the area from the Town Hal) to John Street. Brightly decorated plat- forms were erected for the orcliest- ras, suitable booths supplied for the Women's Institute and the Midway preparations were a matter of keen interest in themselves. Before 7,30 the canvas was in place and the ticket sellers busy, Shortly after seven o'clock a crowd of children gathered at the Public school grounds awaiting the Cali- thumpian Parade and they were not disappointed. The men masquerading. as ladies for the broom ball game mere a joyous sight to behold. Harry Gibson and Frank. Preston were so engaging as to have had several press- ing invitations out with "boy friends." The parade moved off at 7.30 sharp led by the Citizen's Band which sup- plied the music for the early part of the programme. The animals in the parade were the centre of attraction for the children and even grown ups were curious enough to form • a big procession of cars. The Broom -Ball game was a big hit and by eight o'- clock the big evenings fun had begun in earnest. Tom Currie as chief spokesman in the midway successfully competed with Bruce Edgar holding forth as so- loist in the early concert numbers. Rumour has it that Tom weakened la- ter in the evening, , whether because his voice gave out or fair dancing par- tners lured him away from duty has not been said or perhaps the'competi- tion from Doc IVIcKibbon, Jack Mc Michael and Jim McGillivray was too keen. Tho "Stella -r". concession of the midway was the fish pond and Miss Bennett said there were plenty of fishes: It ishard to say which had the lar- gest crowd, the popular or the old time dance. I3otit were well patroniz- ed the young folks leading the way with such evident happiness that the old folk forgot their years and joined in the frolic. The' novelty dance was an added attraction and. lent an air .of joyous abandon to the general good fellowship of the evening which did not break up till one a,rn, J. M. McKay as chairman in chief of the Chamber of Commerce Street Carnival has handed in for publication an article under the heading of "Thank You" which appears else- where in this page. With becoming modesty he mentions nothing of his own work in organizing the event and places all credit for the success of the evening with his committee chairmen and the seventy,odd business men of the town members of the Chamber of Commerce •who in one capacity or a- nother worked to make the evening a success. It is sufficient to say that the Chamber of Commerce through the loyalty of their members have been doing a splendid work for the com- munity which reflects credit on the organization.
