/ mittee held meeting with the High
Point committee and at this conference
| the details of place, name and time were
decided upon. 1t was stated that the

along the road as had been suggested,
was that the fair grounds offered acces-
sibility to the greatest number of people
tef the country and furthermore would
provide places for the protection of the
/ people from chance rains of the day. No
other such facilities could be devised for
| the occasion anywhere and the commit

getting the fair grounds for the purpose.
