Public and Parochial School Picnics Annually
Mayor Dahlman Entertains All
Grade School Kiddies Twice
Each Season—Get Free Rides
One of the big events of the
season for the kiddies is the series
of grade and parochial school out
ings given by Mayor James Dahl
man.
Mayor Dahlman not only ar
ranges for all the school children
to have a good time at the park
at his expense but he attends each
one and participates in the fun.
To accommodate all the school
children the same day would more
than tax the park to capacity, so
the city is divided into groups and
a certain number of schools are
entertained at each outing.
The first of these outings this
year will be held on June 17. The
dates of the other outings follow:
June 19, 25 and 27. This year
he will give two picnics, the same
schools which were entertained in
June will he feted again in July.
Free rides, refreshments and
street car fare are furnished each
child.

Nine o'Clock Is
Witching Hour
All Ages of People Present'
at Park at That
Time.
Nine o’clock is the witching
hour at an amusement park.
Then the crowd is at its height.
The folks who came during the
afternoon hours and the kiddies
who rode all the rides and had all
the fun in the world lip to about
darktime are still there—a little
sleepy but reluctant to go home.
The married couples who se
dately walk around in groups of
four, si> and*eight go to the pool
for a dip and are all there about 8
o’clock.
And then! Ah, yes, and then!
At about 9 o’clock come the
sheiks and the vamps, the young
folks, full of life—ready and
eager to try everything in the
park—dashing madly from one
amusement to another—emitting
whoops and shrieks and enjoying
life with a zip and zest which all
the older folks envy.
Not to be forgotten at about
9:15 come the ballroom
crowd. The dancing couples
whose terpsichorean ability is the
admiration of crowding multitudes
—dreamy eyes roaming the ceiling
while the strains of the latest pop- !
ular waltz or fox trot Is wafted
through the park.
It is the peak hour, when all
the different sort of people are
gathered together and if by 9
o’clock there isn’t a crowd the
park manager is long faced—for
it won’t grow in proportion after ;
that hpur. The late arrivals are
equalled by the ones who go home !
early.
Big Sand Beach Offers
Boom for Fun and Frolic
You do not need to go to the
seashore to enjoy the pleasures of
a sand beach. Krug park swim
ming pool is nearly surrounded by
a sand beach 35 feet wide. The
beach is protected from surface
water by an outside concrete wall,
a concrete floor and is always
clean and free from the objections
of many natural sand beeches. \
New $12,000 Electrical Band
_Can Be Heard All Over Park
Krug Park is the first to in
troduce in the middle west the
electric band, which plays popular
music on the same principle of a
player piano. This new musical de
vice was installed near the merry
go-round and the galloping iron
steeds nQw step in harmony with
all the popular fox trots. It has
a large enough volume to be heard
oyer the entire park and the pic
nickers now have music with their
lunches. The instrument cost
$12,000. It is beautifully carved
1 ■ .. I
' and artistically designed, in tact
is one of the cleverest pieces of
handiwork in the huge park.
Accommodations for
Dancers Are Provided
For the dancers’ accommoda
tion, large parlors adjacent to the
Ball Room, completely equipped
with necessities for the toilet, have
been provided. Two elderly mat- j
rons are in attendance for the
younger folk.
Grocers’ Picnic
f! Is a Big Event
One of the big picnics of th«
season that appeals to both kiddies
and grownups is the grocers’ and
butchers’ annual frolic for which
all members of the Omaha Retail
ers’ association close their doors
that day and turn out en masse,
together with all their customers.
This picnic brings a minimum of
10,000 people and special attrac
tions are staged that day. Tha
date for this year’s frolic has not
been set but arrangements already
are in progress and the officials
predict that it will be a banner
one.
John Ek, secretary of the asso
ciation, announces that many
prizes will be given away this sea
son. Last year four Shetland
ponies, a motor car and a radio
set were riven away.
SPENT YEARS "
ON ORANGEADE
Patrons sip the delightful park
orangeade and wonder at the de
licious orange flavor that is re
tained in this most popular of
orange drinks.
Although the secret is guarded
most carefully by the park’s drink
concession manager, the juice of
hand-picked oranges is used in
the preparation of the drink.
The manager of the concession
has spent many years perfecting
this delightful drink.
