Angered Elephant, Stinging Dust
Fail To Slow Carnival's Crowd
In spite o( a swirling West Tex-
as sanditoi m and the crimu of
National defense, the show must
go on, so carnival going Borgans
discovered Wednesday night.
Even though Whinnle, the ele-
phant had to be put to bed be-
cause the wind make her ill tem-
pered, and Louis "Suicide" Sim-
on didn’t dive from the 110 foot
tower, the carnival grounds still
throbbed with life.
Borgans filtered through the
gate buying their tickets from the
girl ticket seller who popped her
gum and perched on a yellow
pillow behind the booth Eleven
cents admitted them to a fourth
acre of tent attractions.
Munched Popcorn
There, in spite of the stinging
dust, they munched popcorn, took
a whirl on the lerris wheel, and
wondered through the penny ar-
cade. Some crouched ,pn the bare
benches in the negro ministrel
show to listen to the five piece
orchestra with the good drummer
and to watch the three chorus
girls.
Some rolled, shot, pitched at the
chance booths for prizes. Others
lounged at the bingo booth An
'Vflmasjonal one wondered into the |
■gypsy tJ'ht where the fortune
tellers brushed theu palms, chant-
ed a fortune, and shooed the
customer out.
WPB Steps In
But behind the carnival tent
in the lives of the barker and
hula hula girls, the WPB and
priorities have just as much effect
with a filling station operator on |
Mam street.
One of the gypsies complained
of loosing his sugar rationing card.

week
To conserve rubber, the show
put twenty of the trucks into
sti rage. And this winter, instead
of wintering in Sweetwater as in
peaceful times cf the past, the
show will open for a season in
Abilene as USO entertainers.
Baked Ham Prixes
As far as defense bonds, well,
there's enough money taken in at
one booth to finance the entire
war effort almost For everything
from baked hams to tinsled Snow-
white dells, carnival patrons re-
peated game after game for the
■prize you can't afford to miss.”
Favorite of all game booths
was the bingo stand At the fish-
ing pond, operated by a smiling
red headed woman with sand
banked on her shoulder, the most
prizes were won.
Neglected and practically ignor-
ed by the Wednesday night carn-
ival goes was the hula hula and
fan dancers. In front of the dan-
| cers' tent, a barker shouted a use-
less show chant against the wind
i and sand.
In the penny arcade, a film of
dust powdered the air. There teen
aged youngsters ignored the ten
o'clock curfew to peer into the
penny machines.
Kids Watch tha Elevator
Kids held then breath as the
tov elevator lowered toward the
tempting prizes, groped with its
steel fingers, then rose again,
empty.
By 10:30 the crowds thinned.
Lights blinked and went out on
the ferris wheel. The shooting gul-
llery with Mussolini. Hitler, and
Hirohito closed first. Dust settled
undisturbed oil its front counter.
Whinnies pen was vacant all
evening. Suicide Simons diving
tower was unused all during the
show. But the show had gone oil.
Bing Crosby in "HOLIDAY
INN," comes to the RIG PRE-
VUE Saturday night. It's swing
