Washington’s Fireman's Carnival furnished entertainment all right.
The sidelights were more interesting than the events that met the eye.
The two young men who operated the rat race were reduced to whispers hy the third night of the carnival.. They had screamed and yelled themselves hoarse—but, as one of the fellows said, “I’ll yell myself hoarse again for that much money for the firemen.”
Skippy Giles had his eyes and heart set on taking home the grand prize at the bingo game. It was a
boy to ride—and it had a zooming siren! Skippy practically drooled every time he saw it. When the carnival was over Saturday might, Skippy rode the toy right down the middle of the street! “He should have had it,” commented his father, “his mother has parked herself right there at the bingo toble every night.” There were many heart-warming scenes at the carnival To begin with, the crowds showed the fine spirit of helping out the firemen. Many people wouldn’t take their prizes when they won them. “Take it back,” they would say, “It’s for the fire company.” Several times during the evenings, people were heard to comment, “It’s a nice thing to have. It’s a good gettogether; folks are having a good time and they know that every penny they are spending is'"going to stay rij?ht at home with their own fire company.” ^
