First get-together meeting of the
preliminary committees appointed to
arrange for the four day Corn Pes
tival and Homecoming celebration In
1'iausmouin eariy in October, was
held last evening, with enthusiastic
response. Sponsorship of the cele
bration is in the hands of the Retail
Section, Chamber of Commerce, but
a finance committee from the C. of C.
Itself lias been named to co-operate
with the Retail Section finance com
mlttee in securing the moderate sum
of money and merchandise donations
it is estimated will be needed to. put
the celebration over.
This committee will go out the
first of the week to conduct a canvas
for money. A depression schedule of
contributions is in effect and instead
of merchants being asked to give $10
$15 or $25, as many have in years
past, the committee plans to realize
around a $5 average from each, di
vided between merchandise prizes and
cash. Frank Bestor is chairman of
the finance committee and will have
the assistance of seven or eight Re
tail Section and C. of C. members.
Henry Soennichsen is chairman of
the general committee, which will
comprise a dozen or more sub-commit
tees, each with some particular phase
of the work to look after.
Wednesday, the opening day, will
be known as comic parade day, with
late afternoon parade of school
children, divided into such classifica
tions as bicycle and vehicle group.
pet group, comic section group, etc
rizes will be given in each classifica
tion and all children participating
in the parade will be given tickets
good for rides on the Burlington min
iature train to be here on Friday and
Saturday, the closing days. In the
evening the kangaroo court parade
will bring the "victims" before "His
Honor" in front of the microphone of
the public address system and the
crowd will be privileged to listen in
on the interesting deliberations of
this court. Band music and other
features will also be provided.
Thursday's program has not been
definitely decided, but Friday will be
Athletic day, with a football game
and program of races in the after
noon and a free open air boxing pro
gram In the evening.
Saturday, the closing day, will
bring another afternoon parade, made
up of representatives from the rural
schools, entered in groups and not as
individuals. The prizes for this pa
rade will comprise various articles of
school playground equipment and will
go to the entire school. In addition,
local business men will be permitted
to enter floats in this parade. As In
the case of Wednesday's parade, all
participating children will be given
tickets good for rides on the Burling
ton train.
These are but a few of the plans
under consideration for entertainment
that will include a Mardi Gras street
dance, a style show, a Merchants'
trade show (at the Community build
ing) and a profusion of agricultural
exhibits in the "Corn Palace," a Main
street building specially set aside for
that purpose. Prizes of merchandise
and cash will be offered for the best
exhibits in all lines.
As a preliminary to the big show,
there will be organized Chapter 1 of
the "King Korn Chapeau Club," all
the members of whom are pledged to
wear at all times when out of doors
(attendance at funerals and church
excepted) the overseas style cap they
receive on becoming members. On one
side of this cap will appear a large
par of corn and the wording: "It's
not the height of the stalk, but the
size of the ear that counts." On the
other side will appear suitable adver
tising of the Festival and the dates.
Anyone caught out of doors without
this cap will be promptly hailed be
fore the kangaroo court and have var
ious forms of "justice" meted out to
them.
Included In the plans already ap
proved Is a visit to the Weeping Water
fair on the closing day and participa
tion In the parade. The Plattsmouth
narchers will all wear their chapeaus
and carry canes. Either the band or
Legion drum corps will accompany
the caravan from here and Platts-
nouth should turn out the largest
delegation this year of all previous
"PlattsDouth days" at the county
fair. .
