CIRCUS SHOW PUT ON
BY NEIGHBOR KIDS

The circus came to town the other day when several children presented a miniature edition of Ringling Brothers on the lawn of the D. G. Taylor residence with their parents and other children as spectators. The festivities were opened by a snappy parade lead by a band and the kids put on a regular circus show. Circus records were played during the festivities and pink lemonade and popcorn were sold to spectators. The money that was collected all will be contributed to the Alaska Crippled Children's Association.

Children putting on the circus were Shirley and Harold Snaring, Kenneth McGee, Julia and Nedra Walther, Rosemary Kronquist, Skipper Zenger, Linda Lucus, and Karen, Kathy and Larry Taylor.
