RECORD CROWD
JAMS ARENA
In the five •years that I;ucknowt'
new arena has been in operation, it.
has accomodated many a Targe
crowd, but all previous attendance
figures were shattered last Thurs
.day night when 1400 persons paid
admission to The Clansnen's Carn-
ival- To this.number might be added
a coupie of hundred more including
'young chill dern;, and those who carne,
at the end of the program, to dance.'
The twa=hour. , program :presented
w • by Russ Creighton and; liis variety
entertainers an d 'dance band delight
ed, the crowd and proved' that the
advance billing, "This promises : to
be the finest shew-ever--to comeT-to
Lucknow" was no exaggeration. It
was without doubt the finest show -
of its .type ever presented by The
Clansmen.
Russ Creighton as the able 'mas-
ter ,of ceremonies, kept the show
running at a quick tempo and every
artist was good!from Donald Spence,

numbers thatincluded singing, dan-
cing, acrobatics and accordion solos.
The Lowells-husband andwife-
gave a thrilling. Performance of
tumbling, acrobatic.. and balancing
acts:
The only regrettable' feature of
the show was that , some did not
have 'a.proper vnew of the perform
ers. The -crowd so .overtaxed) the
seating capacity of the arena ' that
.many had to stand- in the ice area:
The carnival games were well
patronized after the show and a few

from Kincardine volunteered their
services to operate • the bingo booth
andsome Of the Kincardine °,Kips-

Smacking Hitler with baseballs was,
great spirt for many of the, crowd,
and Joe Irwin and "Tac" Fisher
---kept•-this -game -in- operation -until
old Shickulgruber was in slivers,
It was 2 a.m. before Russ Creigh-
