if the show equals the coopera
tion and enthusiasm displayed
by the directors and publicity
men it should be a great success.
There's something different
about a stage show filled with
local personalities that seems to
please the public . . . maybe it's
the fact that talents are displayed
that were never known to exist
or maybe it's Just the "ham" (as
the saying goes) popping out a
little. Regardless of the reason
for its success. Kiwanis Kapers
deserves the backing of every
one so make it a point right now
to see the Kiwanis Kapers in
Ashland, Wednesday or Thurs
