FAIR COMMITTEE
TO MEET FRIDAY.
viii Probably Engage Attractions
at This Meeting

The committee in charge of the ar
ransemepts fer the annual Copper
Country fair will meet Friday evening
when attractions probably viii be en-
eaged
The committee has been advised that
a representative of "a large Chicago
booking agency will be in Houghton To
meet with the fair committee and TO
help them decide on the acts.
The committee still has the fire
works proposition under consideration.
George Newton of the Newton Fire
works company has made an attractive
ofrcr but its acceptance is dependable
largely on the action OF the Houghton
village council which will be asked At
its meeting Thursday TO donate To the
fair. The committee does not believe
that it can engage the fireworks dis
play without a donation from the coun-
ell. The matter was brought To the
councils attention in an unofficial
manner some time ago and then sen
timent seemed to be against favorable
action.
Secretary l. y Haas of the fair COM
mittoe is authority for the statement
that no acroplane, balloon or similar
is TO be considered by the
committee.
