According to a report from-Howard from-Howard Harmston, chairman of the Youth Service committee of the club, all kids from the first grade to and including the ninth grades are being invited to come to Roosevelt at 12:30 p. m. and begin an afternoon of fun with a parade. This will be followed by a free watermelon bust and a free picture show. The parade offers several inducements in-ducements to the kiddies when a prize of $3.00 will be given for the best decorated bicycle; $3.00 for the best decorated tricycle; tri-cycle; $5.00 for the best miniature minia-ture float; $2.00 for the best " Kid's Day" slogan; and $2.00 for the best three costumes in various age classifications. Two tons of watermelons will await the throng at the city park, and then the elementary school kiddies will be given a free picture show at the Elementary Ele-mentary school and the junior high school youngsters will be entertained at the Roosevelt junior high school. Last year was the first observance obser-vance of "Kid's Day" in Roosevelt, Roos-evelt, and because of the nearly $1,000 worth of .playground equipment that was secured and erected on the playgrounds at the Elementary school, the then-only then-only - four - month - old club received re-ceived international recognition for their achievement. This year the money raised from the special "National Kid's Day Edition of the Roosevelt Standard," that accompanies this issue of the Standard, will go to the schools again this time to assist in buying 16mm motion picture projectors for the two local schools. Last year the age limit was 12 and was confined to the Roosevelt Roos-evelt community entirely. However, How-ever, a broad invitation is extended ex-tended to all the kids up to and including ninth graders in the area to attend. On the special "Kids' Day" cover of the Standard will be found the program, and editorial editor-ial information about last year's project, and what is to be done again this year. On three other pages of the cover will be found advertising' messages from the local merchants, who are back of the project 100 per cent almost. |
