CARNIVAL DURING SEEKTOPROTECI AVIATION WEEK RETAIL TRADE Despite tho cold wind blowing lust night the streets of our city were quite warm with people discussing the proposition, pro and con, to have a carnival here to help to entertain the visitors during the aviation meeting or not. And without doubt the carni val question in Waycross seems al most as troublesome as the cow ques tion, and the argument against the carnival in the opinion of some peo ple is as archaic as the argument for the cow. It was an amusing situation last night. The good folks of Waycross were gathered together in groups. In one group was a body of men who were not in favor of having a car nival at same time as the aviation meeting, as they did not want to of- I fend the merchants who were op posed to it and were contributing to aviation meeting. In next group were merchants, much incensed that anyone should think they were so nar.ow as to oppose a carnival com ing to Waycross. In the third group a large body of working men, very much disturbed and angry that anyone should oppose something where they might derive tome pleasure, or venture to dictate how they should spend their bird earned money. So there you are. You could join, which ever group you may like and agree or disagree. Hut I yon will agree the carnival is a warm question in Waycross.
