"Jolly Jester"
Preaches Health
Through the personification of the
spinach, carrot, beet, and turnip by
- "The Jolly Jester" yesterday after-
- noon in Hil auditorium, more than
5,000 Ann Arbor school children were
told how to grow healthy. The en-
tertainment was given for the child-
ren, and methods particularly appeal-
ing to them were used throughout.
Making his first appearance on the
platform on a prancing hobby horse,
he received the close attention of the
children during the entire entertain-
ment. Though his actions were en-
tertaining, health principles were in-
directly given to his hearers.
1 Two members constituted the com-
plete company, the other actor being
Harry," the doll. As the last act
on the program, the doll summarized
the health points of the entertain-.
ment.
"The Jolly Jester" is the same char-
acter who entertained soldiers at the
front, his real name being Mackay.
He was sent out by the Child Health
Organization of America as a part of
the national campaign fcr healthy
children.
