Ferarl, of the Ferarl Carnival Shows, isn't exactly pleased with the treatment he re- received in Oswego, N. Y., last week. Ferarl's attractions were originally booked to feature the "Home-We-Come" celebration, which failed to materialize because of lack of contributions. According to Ferarl, Oswego business men combined to "black Jack" him for the privi- lege of showing. When the "Home-We-Come" affair went up In smoke, tho carnival contract was taken over by the Oswego Post of World War Veterans. $300 was deposited with the Oawego mayor. The celebration committee has also turned over $105, contributed hy the city's film houses, to the mayor, To Just what purpose tho $403 will be put Is uncertain. The Ferarl Shows held over In Oswego until July 2.
