Big Preparations
For Lions Club’s
Hallowe’n Parade
While the farmers are harvesting
their crops and birds huddle over
maps choosing the shortest route to
Miami, it’s time to dust off your
costumes for the Lions’ mammoth
Hallowe’en parade. Previously the |
Lions erroneously gave the date as;
October 30; the correct date is Oc-
tober 31, with the parade forming
at 6:30 around the grade school, and
starting to move at 7:30. There will
be plenty of prizes and entertain-
ment afterwards.
All those wishing to be in the pa-
rade as a marching unit of three or
more, as a musical organization, or
with a float, should contact Parade
Chairman Richard Divet. Other
chairmen selected are: Morrell
Shields, music; Lester Mumma,
judging and prizes; George Broske,
Lions’ float; Richard Fletcher, pub-
licity.
The Mile of pennies collection
stretches farther every day, thanks |
to a generous public, but there is
still a distance to go. More help can
also be given the Lions by patron-
izing their stand at the Farm Show |
on October 12, 13, and 14. It will
be in the old Hawthorne garage
building at the corner of Henry and |
Marietta streets. All proceeds will
be used for the Lions’ Hallowe'en
parade.

In past years high school and
grade school classes were taught

Grandview pupils plus the 40 stu-
dents from the Milton Grove area,
the board divided the school into
two parts, for first to fourth grade
pupils and fifth to eighth grade
students. ”
There are 38 pupils enrolled in

QUEEN CROWNED WITH
TOBACCO AND GARDENIAS
That, according to our way of
thinking was not any of the best
combinations in the crowning cf a
Queen but what else was there to
do—she was a tobacco Queen.
At the Ephrata Farm Show, Miss
Evelyn Ay was crowned Tobacco
Queen of Lancaster Co. She re-
