Decatur Fair To Honor Youth In Tuesday Parade

Committee Sets Aside Tuesday As School Day Honoring Youth Os City, County. YOUTH INVITED As the opening of Decatur's free Street fair draws near, committeemen in charge are hoping to give Tuesday visitors an unusual treat. Under the direction of the School Day Chairman, a Tuesday afternoon parade of school children is being planned. In addition to featuring the Decatur boys’ and girls’ band, the officials hope to have many other youth organizations represented. Invitations have been extended to the Boy Scouts, Cubs, Girl Scouts, the CYO, 4 H clubs, church Junior leagues and all other youth organizations to take part in the School Day parade. . A bicycle brigade is among other things planned for the event. A possibility of one or two floats being entered is also entertained by ( committeemen. Realizing the importance of j youth in the building of a splendid , community and the part the young people will play in civic affairs in later years, leaders of the fair have set aside Tuesday as School | Day. in honor of the youth of De-1 catur and Adams county. Fair committeemen have consid-, ered it fitting and proper that the Decatur boys’ and girls’ bands should lead the parade on that day. Decatur boasts of having the only all-girls band in the state. The l recent merging of the girls’ band with the newly organized boy’s: band has formed the largest musical organization the city has ever presented. Through the tireless efforts of Albert Selletneyer, local band director and music teacher, the forming of the bands has been made possible. Sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce a “tag day” made it possible for members of the boys’ band to purchase bright new uniforms. Efforts are also being made to

E. Gooding company of Columbus. Ohio. This is an announcement that should please all who are planning to attend the event. A reputation for the .highest in carnival entertainment has been established by the Gooding company over a long ! period of years in this section of , the nation. For 27 years, F. E. Gooding has .satisfactorily entertained the , crowds at the neighboring fair in Bluffton. He has again been engaged for the fair there this year, | according to reports. | Comparable by those well versI ed in carnival and fair attractions, I to the more highly publicizedj shows of Johnny Jones and Rubin & Cherry, the Gooding company has promised an even more attrac- i tive array of "thrillers” for this I year’s event. Old standbys, such as the merry- ; go-round, ferris wheel and whip, I will be augmented this year by : several other later devices for . those who like the rides. The I shows of the exposition have al- > ways been deemed as the highest in carnival entertainment by local organizations and this years is expected to be no exception. Chairman Dee Fryback, who is also in charge of the concessions and rides by virtue of his experience in that line, has promised the fair-goers a full program of enter- ■ tainment in the carnival.

The fingerprinting at the local exhibit will be done for an entire-' ly different reason, however. State Police Commissioner Bill Bell has advocated the work as a means of

PARIS BECOMES CUV OF LIGHTS Paris Exposition Centered Around Lighted Eiffel Tower i Paris. July 29 -OJ.R> - Modern I electrical achievements featured in the night decorations of the Parle i Evposition of Arts and Science and reveal many recent innovations in | open-air lighting. The major theme is the adaption of Indirect lighting which recently conquered the lighting of interiors, throughout the exposition grounds. As the Eiffel Tower is the center of the present exposition buildings, dominating all Its structures, so the Eiffel Tower also dominates the lighting effects at | night. Giant beams thrust their strong columns more than a mile

Light Not Glaring I A person can walk through the, exposition grounds at night with out noticing any of the glare of sunlight, yet seeing everything clearly. The entire grounds are covered by a soft light radiated from the lowest platform of the Eiffel Tower. The lighting at the foot of th new Trocadero building makes perhaps the most lovely sight of the exnosition's lighting. < »s---cades of Illuminated water fall
