The 1953 Karnival was, in a sense, outstanding. It was the first time in years that the Kar nival shows a sign of operating in the black. While complete fi nancial fijures were not avail able, there appeared to be a probable surplus from the 1953 show. That surplus, if any, can be credited to the conservative spending of the Eagles Auxiliary on the Koronation, and to increased-revenue through sale of Korn Karnival buttons and sale of booth space in the Korn Pal ace. Mrs. Irene Smith, president of the Eagles Auxiliary and co chairman of the Koronation. re ported expenses of enly $77, a decrease of $200 from a year ago. At the same time, sale of booth space, as reported by Co-Chalr-man John Vallery, nearly doubled, and button sales were also doubled. Reports of committeemen, and analysis of the general public's acceptance of the 1953 Karni val, indicates that it was suc- fpssful mnrp IViiin inct. f i ri n - cially. Calf Show Chairman Leonard Born reported that the number of calves exhibited was up slightly from the previous year, and the number of calves sold at auction was also up from a .Vfar ago.

Reservations for bcoth space for next year indicate the general success for exhibitors while corn companies were high ly pleased with their turnout. As usual the horse show, with Don Born manager, went off without a hitch with good crowds attending. The new horse show location was also ap parently satisfactory for both horse owners and show viewers. Again the Klub has asked that individuals and firms with bills against the Karnival, submit them as early as possible. The Klub hopes to close its books in the next week or two in order to, prepare an audit and budget for presentation at the annual meeting November 12. At the annual meeting, along with discussing centennial plans, the group also will consider changes in the by-laws. 1849 Sale Bill Indicates Time Changes Things j Times have changed rharipc moh f vtn -! !rpnfiv rerpivpd n rnnv nt iuo , hn, niihiihH in o vnc.
