For although we find it hard to express just why our .spirits •oar each year when time for the Legion Carnival approaches, there is, nevertheless, an indefinite "something" which makes even the, older generation feel like children once more. It is hard to try and' list the important things'to take place this year for each holds a particular fascination for different individuals. For music lovers there will be the band concert'which they will not want to miss. This will be held on Satuday evening, July 4. Paul YaridawiU ditect hie band, composed of veterans and many of the younger players. Thp majority, who feel that it takes music to put them in the propert spirit for such an occasion, will not want to miss this portion of the celebration. Bdat ft aces On Sunday afternoon the nauticalminded will surely want to be on hand to witness the boat races on the beautiful Fox river. Thrills a-plenty are in store for all who attend. One of the most brilliant displays of fireworks ever shown h6re will be offered the public on Saturday evening. Besides being more beautiful, thes.* fireworks, which are shot off under expert supervision, are perfectly harmless, whereas, even the smallest one in the hands of a child may cause serious damage. Come and bring the children to enjoy beauty and safety at the same time.- Two new attractions on the grounds this year will be the "Cow Over the Moon" and the Shooting Gallery. . "Hie committees have in the past and are this year doing their utmost to make this carnival, which may--be the last for several years, a success. This year more than ever we should be conscious of the great organization which is the American Legion, the sponsors of the carnival. Twentyfive years ago these men were fight?: mg on foreign soil-to save that same democracy for Which your sons and brothers are fighting today. By attending the'carnival'you will not only be having a wonderful time but you will also be helping a ^onderful organization. H*.
