AN Iowa editor hits the nail on
the head when he says: "The law

IT was Bangor philosopher who
summed up church fair in these
words: "a church fair is a place
where we can spend more money than
we can afford for things we do not
want in order to please people whom
we do not like and to help the heath

QUITE number of hoboes have

not nearly SO desirable as the new
one.
