department was Swamped with work
Exhibitors Are Pleased.
Mrs. Mccormick stated that the ex-
hibitors were all pleased with the Big
Free fair and had promised to exhibit
again next year. AT that time Mrs
Mccormick hopes to have double the
space she had this year. She says she

art gallery will be placed upstairs and
that the building will be remodelled
sufficiently for this to be done.

Mrs. Will Griffith, Miss Mildred Rod
