a great deal of credit for rigging up so fine an outfit from such scanty material. I had on my everyday pants & an ordinary shirt, pants were rolled under and tied above my calves and my shirt was open at the neck and sleeves rolled up. A fancy handkerchief which had been part of a work bag was tied around my head and the mate to it which to make the work bag had a hole cut in the middle hund loosely around my neck with my head through the hole. Marj. arranged horse hair and curtain rings on an elastic band so that when I put it around my head I had wisps of coarse black hair a pigtail & ear rings to adorn my piratical visage. She cut the tops off an old pair of shoes and sewed on large cardboard buckles covered with tea lead and finally tied several coloured pieces of cloth around my waist for a sash. Then by blackening my eyebrows and adding some purpleish & red wax paint which Harry Moon gave me to my face, arms & legs, I think as far as appearance was concerned I was as repulsive as any buckaneer that ever sailed the Spanish Main. When I reached town I found the carnival in full swing Roy drove me up town in the car and later he, Vernon Aunty Alice, Rebecca & Walter came up Rebecca was in costume and got 1st prize for her class. I found the band and first of all we paraded all over town following the Fire Brigade and their equipment old and new, we then played a little more on the street and put our horns away in Coleman's house and spent the rest of the night with the crowd and let the jazz band & Hugh McPherson with his pipes do the rest. Enah played for Innes Coleman to dance several times and for some fellow to imitate Harry Lauder. Pete Shand & Bob. McPherson added considerably to the entertainment by their Scotch dancing & antics. There were thousands there and they were mostly sober and I think enjoyed themselves. They began to thin out fast after midnight and at three o'clock we started to take the stage to pieces There was a small crowd around and Frank Fields who was fairly well on seemed rather incensed that we were deliberately breaking up the show so early in the evening, but as it was it kept us going till nearly daylight. We had to put the piano back in the hall take all the stage scenery back to the hall, take all the seats back to the park and tear down the stage & booths and pile the lumber on the Widespread truck
