ber 14th, Mt. Airy School, afternoon
and evening program; Saturday, No
vember 18th, Union Mills, afternoon

These exhibits are held through
the joint cooperation of the school
and community, with the County and
Home Demonstration Agents. Where
these were held last year much in
terest was shown by the pupils, men
and women in the community. Lo-
cal pride in community products is
fostered and greater discrimination
will be shown this year in the selec-
tion of products as the pupils were
much interested in the judges talks
on points of judging. This year we
do not expect the largest potatoes or
the biggest ears of corn, for some
boys have already selected uniform
exhibit with a great deal of care.
The girls too have learned points on
Judging and know that it is not al
ways the most elaborate work which
takes the prize, but simplicity, good
taste, and neatness of work are the
points emphasized in fancy work
We should be proud of the labor
of our hands and be glad to bring
the products Of our efforts, for never
before in the history of the world has
real labor counted for so much as it
does now. Children should be taught
the dignity of labor and the power
to do; make things grow in the gar
den, raise chickens, pigs, calves, ETC.,
to can fruits and vegetables and to
make practical garments, is all a
part of education. Only a small per
cent Of what we know should come
through books. Just now at the
close of the first year of peace it is
fitting that we bring into our Com
munity Shows the products of the
labor Of our own hands. Next week
will be armistice week. Therefore
many of the programs held in con-
nection will be of patriotic nature
and it is well that we commemorate
peace by such an exhibit showing
something of our attempt to meet the
worlds need for food.
The exhibits will be held afternoon
and in most cases have been arranged
for the evening. New Windsor will
celebrate armistice day with an af-
ternoon program beginning at 2.30 D.
m, after the Judging Is completed
Gambler will have an afternoon meet
ing at 2.30, while Finksburg will have
an exhibit in the afternoon and no

evening. Ice cream and cake will be

the largest exhibit in the county, and
the plans made look as though they
will have still larger one this year.
