Show Lions Teach Youngsters to Respect Others' Rights Carrying out the plan formulated formu-lated by the Lions Club, the city of Frederick, Maryland, not only saved valuable property from destruction, but gave the children child-ren of the city a lesson in how i to have a good time without imposing im-posing on someone else. Three blocks of city streets were roped off and all traffic turned aside, and the streets turned over to the children. The police kept order and permitted per-mitted not the least rowdyism, and the kids staged their own parades, masks, plays and dances ' and whatever they wanted. The Lions had offered liberal prizes, and the newspapers carried car-ried accounts of the affair. A girl of four years wore the most unique costume she was a lied Cross nurse. The most original origin-al was a little girl dressed as a witch. A small boy with a goat and wagon got the prize for the most comical turnout. There was a parade in which all the thousands of youngsters took part. And there was no hoodlum element at all. |
