THE HIGH SCHOOL FAIR.
 Report of Chairman of Central com mittee:'' 1t was determined by the towns women to hold a fair on the Green for the benefit of the fund for the new High school.
 As the Monday Club was the most representative body of the towns wom- en available Central Committee was appointed at one of their meetings to carry out this plan, which was to be the work of the whole town. This com mittee was Mrs Robert Carter, Miss Fanny E. Palmer and Mrs William Church chairman. To the regret of all Mrs Church was absent most of the time. Miss Mary Church filled the va cancy on the committee and Miss Fan ny Palmer was chosen chairman. At a meeting of the Monday Club held at Mrs Orville H. Platt's on January 2, 1907, the following plan was laid before the ladies and adopted by them:
 To make it as much as possible an out door fair to be held on the 7th of August. On account of the uncertainty of the weather that the porches of the houses around the Green be used as far as possible. The sale of all articles, fancy and otherwise, be held in the hall on the Green and be distributed among tables named for the days of the week. A supper to be served at 5.30 and ice cream and cake all the afternoon. A general reception and dance to be giv- en on that day or later. This plan was adopted and most successfully carried out as the following report of later meeting will show. This was held aft CT the fair on August 12. at Mrs O. H. Platt's, to which all the managers and their helpers were called.
 The meeting was called to order by the chairman who read the following :: am sure that we all appreciate Mrs Platt's kindness in inviting us to meet again at her house. It was here that the plan of the sale was submitted to the members of the Monday Club and adopted by them with the resolution that it should be made the work of the whole town. So this seems a fitting place as we'll as delightful to hold our final meeting and we are grateful to Mrs Platt for so kindly opening her house to us.
