in conference Saturday afternoon
with President S. E. Beach and
Secretary H. c. Dryden of the

Cavaness of the Home Coming
Week committee of the Commercial
club who urged that the old settlers
select either Monday September IS
or Saturday September 50 of the
Four County Fair week for their
celebration. Though all five of the
representatives of the old settlers
recognized that the aviation meet
and the exhibitions Of that week
would aid in securing a crowd for
their own day they also felt the
strength of the arguments against
the only day they could use that
week. They were unanimously
against Monday as the celebration
dav because of the work it would
require for the Sunday before it..
They believed also that the Ola
Settlers would be too tried to en-

attending the events of Fair week.
