The Common Round Inglis Colvill CHILDREN AND THE CIRCUS YOUR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IS BUILDING A BETTER COMMUNITY KIDNEY ACIDS Rob your Rest turn taHn their pictures Mb If nd star mi f 1 Now Open Spinning Wheel WOOL CENTRE I suppose that most of us can remember our first circus I was very young when I saw one for the first time but after more years than I care to think of I can remember the smell of tan bark and hot popcorn and ani mals and many people confined in a huge tent can still hear the vendors of popcorn pink lemonade and balloons crying their wares and the sense of ex pectancy that was shared alike by grandpa and grandchild In fact there is no other at mosphere on earth exactly like that of the circus There is the extra quick tempo of the bands the beautiful horses the strange not of our time elephants the camels to take us back to Bible and the chariots of Roman times All this came back to me as if I were watching a movie of my first circus as we sat in Maple Gardens and watched the open ing Grand March of the Shriners Circus The band in brilliant uniforms played a circus bands have done from time out of mind Its an exciting kind of music you feel yourself to be on the verge of wonderful things and I found my response to- be exactly that of my own five years The Shriners I themselves in their gay and col- uniforms blended very well with the musical background The second band was an oriental one and the queer pipes and AND HOBBY CRAFT 169 Main Street OPPOSITE POST OFFICE COMPLETE LINE OF KNITTING SUPPLIES TO FILL EVERY NEED HOT lS TENSE NERVOUS

and other things strange and remote The animals were delightful so clean and proud looking ex actly as if they knew themselves to be the centre of all eyes Then the circus itself had many thrills One can only marvel at the wonderful sense of timing and balance which the dis play I never can get the enjoy ment out of these daring artists that some folk can for my stomach turns over when they do and I forget to breathe which as you must admit is for me not so good There were some magnificent lions and tigers and the man who entered their cage and put them through their paces must have nerves of iron and a complete knowledge of his animals or at least as complete an understand ing as anyone can have of wild animals read of a famous trainer who said a wild animal can be trained but it is still a wild animal One felt as if the jungle were close to us that night for the roar of a lion came sometimes and we saw other animals whose habi tat was far from Maple Leaf Gardens I think that Hilda Archie and I enjoyed most the animal acts There was a beau tiful black horse and under its mistress fine handling that horse did everything but talk It danced paced certain rhythms ni bowed and in fact was so lovely to look at and so clever we all fell in love with it Then there were the elephants and let no on say that these queer beasts who seem like something out of a distant past are awkward They balanced on unbelievably small stools and they too danced One of them carried a girl round in his mouth not his trunk and set her down with a delicacy that was human and he also kneeled over her while the other two elephants suported themselves on his back on either side And loo they walked over the little ponies who acted with them and then went off holding one anothers tail with a perfectly human look on their faces of having done well One of most intriguing acts was where camels llamas a and a zebra acted together Never in my wildest dreams had expected to see camels acting
