Not one féaâ€" ture of a real cireus was omitted from this truck type, glass enâ€" closedâ€"vircus, even to the ballyhoo of an announcer. Not alone were the kiddies of our city enthused, for many of our well known citizens and prominent business men lined the sidewalks to watch the feats of these mechanical actors. Among all the group no one seemed to get more real enjoyment than Art Olson, for with boyish pride he called all of his friends across the street to witness the specâ€" tacular showing. â€" More power to you Art, we like your enthusiasm, for it‘s great to be a kid again. Some of our more restrained citiâ€" zens felt the same as you, but emoâ€" tions didn‘t prove it. All Highwood veterans are asked to assemble at the City hall at 9:45 a.m,. to form in line for parade.
