One small boy said his allowanee had been decidedly cut. “I only had 13 ice cream cones and last year I had 25, but next year I'll make up, watch me.” ‘There was plenty of everything to’' eat, hot dogs, cold meats, buns, coffee and all the frills. Nobody went hungry and if they did they must have been afraid to ‘“reach for it.” The advance crew that went down Saturday midnight, had ev- erything set when the first crowd arrived at five minutes to 11 o'clock. The Alma left Juneau five min- utes ahead of time as the gapacity load was aboard and those who reached the dock ‘at 10 o'clock waitéd until the 12:30 Alma. Then others waited until 2:30 and ar- rived about 3:30 but the hot dogs were ready even for them. The day was spent in eating and sports, scores of kiddies braving the ing the time of their lives.
