Carnival Shat-Dot (Continued from page 1) close 75% of the remaining carnys. By ofCering -length protection It means that one or, at the best, three, outfits will be able to use certain roads during a season. The balance of the shows will have to seek other methods to get into towns. Up until now most carnivals have been following each other into the good spots. Aurora, 111.; St. Louis, Wlncliester, Va., and a host of other towns haVe had a carnival* every week since the season opened. "With tl.i new< railroad policy these gravy spots would get only one show, or a show for each competitive R. R that runs into the town. Roads Not Friendly The railroads have never been friendly to the week-stand outfits, as tho many complaints from the trimmed towns have reached the heaa^ oRlce. In addition, the carnys are always first in line to collect the rebate on milage, another sore point with the road execs. Roads such as N. T. C, 111. Cen- tral, C. M. & St. Paul and the Soo line have started the new protection Idea. Other roads are taking over tho plan rapidly, as they figure It will take business from competitors. Whatever way It works, it will cut a deep hole In the carny biz, the like of which has never been experienced. If this idea is a thoughttiillisr worked-out scheme to limit the traveling carnival, it looks as though it might accomplish something in the outdoor field local civic bodies, often state departments-and picture theatres have been striving for for. years, with but sure although slowly moderate success.
