R. L. PARTIN IN FLORIDA
Editor The Leader-Tribune:
Will drop you a few lines to say
1 get the home paper regularly every
Saturday or Monday and note from
its columns with interest what is
going on at home. I certainly am glad
to know our people are making such
progress with the Peach Blossom
Festival and pageant as they are.
My trip to Florida has been one
of much pleasure from beginning to
the present date. I visited some of
the most important towns in Florida.
The Fair and Gasporilla that took
place here the past two weeks was
very interesting.
I can’t see how the citrus exhibits
could be better. My main pleasure
has been fishing. I was behind in
fishing about ten years, but I hav ?
about caught up till I come down
again. I have about four more towns
to make before I leave for the most
interesting town in the South
Valley. I have been advertising Fort]
Valley, the Festival, barbecue and
pageant and have had quite a few to
tell me they would like very much to
take it in on their way home. Had J
the properly gotten-up literature L
could distribute it to thousands in
Florida. Will leave for home in two
or three weeks. With best wishes,
R. L. PARTIN.

CHAIRMAN—PLUS!
It’s hard to believe that a man
busy as the chairman of a
Blossom Festival would have
j to think up a scheme to fill the
seasts at the league on
nights. But if you were present
the league on last Sunday night
■ aw a two pound box of candy given
to one of the regular “front
We don’t mind telling you that
I Margaret Whiting won the box. An ¬
other prize is offered for the month
| of March. So be sure and come to
the league every Sunday night and
i try to get a seat on one of the first
six seats and possibly you will be the
lucky one next time. We won’t say
|that Col. Shepard will enjoy giving
j a box of candy to one of the young
linen, but he said the offer was for
the young men as well as the young
ladies. And we suggest that the
young men who persist in sitting on
the four back seats should pay for
the prizes.
THE PAGEANT PACKS OUR
CARES AWAY
There’s no getting round the fact
] that pageant days are strenuous
days. You get up by the alarm clock
and step lively all day. If you are a
1 housekeeper
you just wrap Lesiure,
Order, Comfort, System and Daily
Naps in pink tissue and pack them
away until this festival has passed
on. But for goodness’ sake don’t
pack up your amiable disposition and
sense of humor; you’ll need them
(daily. But, yes, we have no time. We
have a measure of duration an era
i season, a period—but, yes we have
no time.
! to We meeting rush through of breakfast to
| a some sort. We have
andwiehes for luncheon and rush
off for practice and after the even
t ing meal we get together and talk
over costumes or something else
quite as important; and if we get to
),ed in time for our beauty sleep
there’s a trick in it.
But the man of the family is hav
irig the time of his life, When
out late at night or all night he
doesn’t have to rig up any of those
old excuses and tax his brain to re
member which one he gave. He
only to say “pageant committee”,
Those magic words smooth out ev¬
ery little thing and open numberless
doors of escape from difficult prob¬
lems. But all this speed and rush and
wrestling; isn’t it lots of fun?
The director, Miss Oak, lovable
and magnetic, is a positive dynamo
of physical health and energy. She is
so entirely a part of the Peach Festi¬
val that we no longer see her as a
director, but as an ideal leader who
inspires us to pull together to make
the pageant a success; advising and
directing with shrewdness and a
wonderful sense of humor.
We have taken on a new life since
the atmosphere h- been surcharged
with pageant-festivalism. The hours
never drag for lack of entertainment.
There’s no end of opportunity for
thrillers if you camp on the “Trail
0 f pj n fc Petals.”
