The Gazette-July 8th 1938
"....later stages of this disease,which has gripped every town and village in the land, sees people scribbling frenziedly on sundry pieces of paper.....then they have to send in these masterpieces to the carnival magazine.....Elsewhere otherwise respectable citizens are cajoling tradesmen into advertising their wares in the magazine....those responsible for the publications in question spend many sleepless nights working out how to pour a quart of adverts and literary matter into a pint pot of magazine.Thus the "Rag-Taghillian is born-the purpose to blaze forth the glad news of the carnival in many thousand homes.On Friday evening the sellers are assembled, and headed by aloudspeaker van they make an extensive tour of the district, selling these merry heralds of the festivities ahead."
I have details of events at Heanor Carnival for July 1938-anyone interested?
