if -'rX ter are some of the officials who have been given invitations to the dinner and the opening of the exhibition. No route has. been decided on yet for the parade but the details will be completed by Monday. It is anticipated that all members of the club and many of their friends will be in line. Thousands of tickets have been distributed for th I show by the exhibitors and other Kiwanlans who did not obtain display space. Some friends of the members yesterday received packets of admittance tickets and some of them thought these were to be sold. Instead it was explained that these cards were given away by some Kiwanian who will stand all the expense, including war tax. Almost 100 prizes have been listed by the committee and each evening from ten to fifteen will be given away, except on Saturday night when the Kiwanlans plan to have a record number of prjze Awards, The show will be different each night so that it will be worth while to attend more than one or two times.
