of so much fun in the past are
on the program again this year—
the fat man race, the pie-eating
contest, catching the greasy pig,
and all the others. Other events
like bingo, tennis, ping pong, rifle
matches, shuffleboard, checkers,
horseshoes, and swimming con
tests are also on the bill of fare,
with cash prizes going to the
winners.
The baby parade, which was
inaugurated so successfully last
year by Mrs. Harry H. Straus, will
be held this year at 11:30 a. m.
All parents with children under
four years old are invited to en
ter them in the parade.
At 12:30, everyone will spread
their basket dinners. During this
time, the Ecusta band will play a
concert.
“BATTLE OF THE BAG”
A new stunt added to the pro
gram this year will be held at
1:30, immediately following lunch.
This will be the “Battle of the
Bag,” and a separate story ap
pears on Page 6 about this big
new attraction. A special program
of boxing is being worked out by
Dick Perron.
Speakers for the day will be
Mr. Harry H. Straus and the Hon.
Brandon Hodges of Asheville.
Their talks will be made from the
bandstand, beginning at 2 p. m.
Mr. Straus’ talk is always a high-

Our golfers take on an unusual

Brevard Country Club course when
league-leading Beacon comes to
town for a regularly scheduled
W.N.C. League match. Action
gets underway at 1 o’clock.
In their two matches in June,
the Ecusta linksmen went down
in defeat to Dayton Rubber and

3V2. George Sexton was low man

Hodges is widely known as an
able and interesting speaker and
his address is certain to add much
to the occasion.
Another feature of the big
day will be the annual baseball
game on the Ecusta field. This
year’s opponent will be Enka. The
contest will start at 4 p. m., with
buses slated to leave Camp Sap
phire for the game a half hour
earlier.
STREET DANCE
The street dance, with Speedy
Jones as caller and music by the
Ecusta String Band, will climax
the day. The dance gets underway
at 8 p. m.
Glassware will gleam if you add
a few drops of lemon juice to the
rinsing water.
