CIVIC
CENTRE
CARNIVAL
With
the
hope
that
the
Dominion
Government
may
soon
grant
our
application
for
a
permit
to
build
our
Civic
Centre
Swimming
Pool,
It
Is
more
important
than
ever
that
we
have
a
successful
Carnival
this
year
and
raise
as
much
as
possible
of
the
balance
of
the
money
needed.
In
order
to
make
the
Carnival
our
usual
success,
it
is
necessary
that
a
large
number
of
Interested
citizens,-
individually,
as
well
as
representing
organizations,
come
forward
and
offer
their
assistance.
Due
to
pressure"
of
other
affairs
the
committee
was
not
able
to
get
the
usual
letters
out
to
organizations
requesting
their
assistance
and
asking
them
to
enter
the
queen
contest.
So
far,
only
two,
the
Junior
Chamber
and
the
Moose
Ladies
have
voluntarily
entered
candidates.
It
is
essential
that
we
have
at
least
five
candidates
In
order
to
make
this
Carnival
a
success.
Organizations
are
asked,
even
at
this
la
te
date,
to
hold
emergency
executive
meetings
and
do
their
part
in
helping
raise
funds
for
our
Civic
Centre
by
entering
a
candidate
for
the
Queen
Contest.
Entries
should
be
filed
with
G.
L.
Rorie.
Besner
Block,
not
later
than
5
p.m.,
Friday,
July
13th.
A
meeting
of
all
those
interested
in
helping
put
this

Carnival
over,
will
be
held
in
