ment by pledging the labor gov

ment to avert war.
Conservative leader Winston

Dragon Booth
Set Up at Vets
Bv Red Cross
It was carnival time at Vets
hospital Monday evening.
College students participated
In a Halloween party for the
disabled veterans at the hospital.
Toan Hanson and Susie Stoll
were co-chairmen for the Red
Cross college unit which spon
sored a booth for the party.
The booth was taken from the
Chi Omega's Penny Carnival
show called "Dragon's Den." It
won second in the Penny Carni
val competition last year. Mary
Hartman did the art work.
What went on in the "Dragon's
Den?" After the victims were
blindfolded they entered for the
dragon hunt. The monster lived
over a hill which was a board
mounted on a Coke case and
through a swamp, which was a
soft pillow. Moss was repre
sented by rags and cord hang
ing from a piece of twine from
the top of the booth. Once the
den was reached a hissing sound
could be heard, and the dragon
spit at his hunter. This was
done by hissing sound from the
girls and a water gun.
The hunter had a chance to
kill the dragon with a dart which
was thrown at a board.
Having been through the fight
with the dragon, the hunters'
fortunes were told by having
palms reaa. A red cross was
painted on the victims hand.
Students who went to Vets
hospital were: Anne Lear and
Ruth Hinds, acting as guides in
the "Dragon's Den"; Dorothy
Elliott, Pat Kelly, Phyl Lyons,
Pat Lindgren and Jean Wilson,
cigaret girls; and Jackie Griffith
and Susie Stoll.
