Success attended every anle of South P.ond's part in the state wide

celebration of Disease Prevention day j

yesterday. Ideal weather coupled with smooth co-operation among all those concerned in carrying out the various ends of tho bisr demonstration procured ono of the finest displays on the preservation of human health that the citv has ever seen. This was the

unqualified - opinion of judges. com- ' rnittees and thousands of spectators

who lined the streets viewing the

procession.

The parade was easuy the feature of the day. The exhibits ;t the old Sailors store on S. .Michigan st. and ,

the moving picture displays at the Delifo and Auditorium theaters drew

hundreds of visitors, but the city s in

terest centered in the marching throng

of f-chool children, the scores of lloats,

the uniformed organizations and the bands.

Seven thousand school children alone were in line, the kindergarten tots and those from the lower grades riding in autos and trucks, while the older pupils never halted a moment as they trudged their sturdy legs block after block before the applauding spectators. Now and then one would lag a trille. hut would hurriedly ppeed up and fall in beside his comrade. Ideas are Numerous Perhaps every known weapon to combat disease and the allies of disease was displayed by the marching children. Hours of work and thought Ivv teacher and pupil alike were apparent in the variety of ideas and suggestions expressed for preventing disease. The poor old house fiy came in for perhaps most of the attention of the pupils. Squad after squad appeared carrving aloft swatters with big signs telling how to use them. The grammar school fell in line with a float bearing a pole in the center from which dangled a huue lly. In one corner stood a skeleton bearing out the suggestion, the result of not swatting the fly. ISehind the lloat marched the grammar school pupils each armed with a swatter. Next in importance were broom. Scores- of children marched in squads with brooms across shoulders and the .... 11 i

were portrayed by boys bearing eottins suggesting the result of tho habit. The prize winning display of the Kaley school carried out the idea of a general cleaning up. In the opinion of the judges this idea was most appropriate of the day. The pupils were dressed in old clothes and carried all the implements necessary to a general clean up. Hoes, rakes, shovels, lawn mowers, garden hose and wheelbarrows were the tools displayed. The idea of not only cleaning up but bringing the wheelbarrows along to cart away the rubbish decided the judges in their verdict. The display of St. Hedwige's school which took second prize was pretty

as well as appropriate. A snow wnue

The "Gold Dust Twins" also appeared at intervals. Several of the tooth powder concerns furnished big pasteboard tooth brushes for the children to carry. In making their decision of prize winners the judges issued the following statement: Judges' Statement. "We, the undersigned judges of the parade, announce our decision as follows: First, prize, Kaley school, $20; second prize, St. Hedwige's school, $10; third prize, Daurel school, 53; fourth prize, Junior, $5; fifth prize, Assumption school, $5.

seeond float decorated in red and white carried the motto "Strong Minds Make Strong l.odtes". lMiind the floats marched nearly three score of girls in white dresses with red sashes, making a striking appearance. The idea of health produced by exercise and athletics, was portrayed by the St. Klorian boys in baseball uniforms carrying their bats and gloves. War Against Discav. laurel school, third prize winner, brought out their "War Against Disease" by brigades of lly swatters, a company of boys carrying aloft tin cups, and a brigade of broom carriers. The junior thus of the high school winners of the fourth prize, likewise developed the clean up idea by appearing armed with brooms and the mottoes anent "sweeping up". From a standpoint of attractiveness, the turn-out of the Assumption school, winners of the fifth prize, was considered the best by many. A squad cf "sunbeams", little girls in white with .yellow ribbons in their hair, lead. These were followed by another Has? in white with blue ribbons in hair, styling themselves ' good little housewives'. Then came a striking scene

as a score of little girls each in white,

pushed before her a small cat containing a doll. These tots styled themseives "good little mothers". Next came, the "good little nurses" a clai.s of older girls in full nurse costume. A squad of boys were dressed in white, representing clean bakers. Honorable mention was given by the judges to the display of the Colfax, Henry Studebaker. Simple Portable and Franklin schools. Many of the merchants took ad

vantage of the opportunity offered for display of sanitary articles by fur-

Dr. C. S. Bosenhury, president of

the city board of health and chairman of the general committee, was highly pleased with the results attained. Commenting on the outcome he said: "I as very much surprised at the extent and character of the parade. And I feel South Pend should become a cleaner and healthier town. Otherwise, the money and energy spent in giving this parade will have been rpent for mere amusement. The idea of the parade was to teach the children and to teach the public that unclean conditions are unhealihful conditions. Here is hoping that South Fend nay profit by the le.son taught." The success of the dav was due to the efforts of Dr. C. S. Fosenbury, president of the board of htalth, who acted o-s chairman of the executive committee which consisted of J. P. Wright, exhibits: II. G. Snauldin?, floats; David Guilfoyle, parade: D. J. Montgomery, school? ; Mrs. W. Tl. Fecker.sher, decorator, and F. G. Manning, tinance?. The immense success of tae parade which featured the events of the day Is largely credited to W. J. Wright, who assisted Mr. Guilfoyle with the parade plans. Show Health Pictures.
