The contest is one of many activities planned as part of the visit of the Michigan Council for the Arts Artrain to Brigham City April Entries are being sought on an individual basis or by the Scouts den, pack, troop, or post, according to Jack P. Allen, coordinator of the competition. Each kite entered will be judged on an individual basis, the only requirements being that it be made from scratch by the boy entering it, and that it can fly, Allen said. Top prize will be an American flag which has flown over the Capitol in Washington, D.C. Kite making and flying are art& which have largely been allowed to degenerate in kites have America since ready-mad- e become available at low cost, Allen noted. Prior to World War II, homemade kites were much more common than the readymade variety, and each youthful kite builder made his creation to suit his own aesthetic tastes. In other countries around the world, most notably Japan, the advent of spring and windy weather is observed with Kite flying festivals. In these celebrations, the artistic talents of the individual kite designer are given free rein so that each one flown is unique. 23-2- Allen noted that books are available at the Brigham City library from which prospective contestants can obtain ideas and information regarding the many types of kites which can be constructed and how can be formed to required support the paper or cloth covering.
