w?. are all pleased because we found
hut the general public wan well
doused It wuh u pleasure to this

The committee is deeply opprcciuIve
of the fine support, tinanclully as
veil us morally, given the project by I
dayor McCorkle and the members of
he city council. And for the fine coloration
shown by Festival Mayor
toyktn and his festival group council 1

he Hospital unit, thanks and many
if them. If we have unintentionally
ulssed personal mention of any eoiperatlng

?
We do want to pay tribute to as
:ame a man as we have met In Cainlen.
Clyde V. Massubeau, who in thoj
iast several weeks of active preparaion
for the carnival, has been a big
ielp. We have really got to know
dm for the fine fellow he Is. Clyde
ust an election bet to John Taylor
iiid Thursday Clyde dragged John,
euted in a donkey cart, in the pa-1
a tie. I am telling you friends, when
man dons a bridle and other horse
t ar and drags a cart In a big parade j
that takes real grit. Our hat is off
i> you Clyde, for being a real sport. I
I
Senator-elect Murdoch M. Johnson
H due much credit for the success of
he carnival and festival. When the
'harleston police phoned to Director
loath of the Carnival committee that
oca use of the need of having every
fficer on duty because of the condiions
growing out of the recent torado,
it would be impossible to send1
he police band here, there remained
tist a day to line up another band.!
Trough the courtesy of Stan Llevv ,
liyn. John del^uich. Murdoch Johnon
.tlid Others, teb-phone inquii > was'
uide all over the state.
Mr. deLoacli eontaeied President
lion McKissick of th?- State ITiiver-t
:t.? who referred him to Dean Olson I
Ir. Johnson contacted Dean Olson
ml after detailing the predicament'
he festival committee would bo in
tiless a band was secured, the Dean
romised consideration. An hour la
cr he called up to say the South Carlina
band, not the complete band.
but 2K members, would play for the
festival. Without a band the festival
would have been a drub affair. - Mr.
Johnson also contributed additional
cooperation of a line type with his
able officiating as toastmaster at the
dinner.
Basil Bruce, another 100 per center
?he festival event, had to do all of
his work after the affair was over.
For Basil had to draw checks to all
event winners and belive you me,
they sure , trooped Into the bank
Thursday afternoon and all day Friday.

It was regrettable that hundreds of
people who did not know of the
change In the line of inarch and who
gathered on Broad street between
Hampton and DeKalb missed seeing
part of the parade. The change in
the route was made after newspapers
available had beep published ami
iht'Te was no means to Inform the
public excepting through the use of
bulletins placed at various points.
* * ? *
The change was made upon the suggestion
of the marshals and the police
who held that the various divisions
could best assemble at Hampton
Park with units lying right and left
on Lyttleton and Fair streets.
