lard Cabin, at Berea Saturday.
Lieut.. Gov. Thruston Ballar,

Anna Ernberg. head Of the de
partment of freside industries
President Hutchins will give +;
short talk and the Girls Gles
Club will sing "ATy Old Kentuck.
Home" Many distinguished Wis
itors from Louisville, Lexington

The construction of the Sun

OF a conversation between Mr.
Ballard and Mrs. Ernbcrg. ii
which the former pledged his sal
airy as Lieutenant Governcr OF
the state 10 the 6reSide industries
department.
The check for $1,000 given by
Ballard at the close of the 1920
legislative session is the first
state money ever received by Be
rca College from Kentucky. ac-
.cording to statement made hl
former President Frost. 1t soon
became evident that the lieuten-
ants salary would not be sufli-
cient to build such an addition to
the iircsidc industries department
as was needed, and consequently
Mr. Ballard increased the amount
TO $5,OC0.
The new cabin will follow the
plan OF the main building, which
is i'll every way unique. The out
side will be 4 typical log cabin,
but the inner walls will be of ce-
dar. Floors are also OF polished

cause OF. the beauty and perman-
cncc OF color given to fabrics by
the herb stains. There will also
be two large class rooms in the
new building.
The rapid growth OF the fire
side industries department is due
partly to the increased demand
all over the country for hand
woven fabrics. and partly to the
TACT that it gives the student d
permanent means OF livelihood.
