of the High School, at 500 o'clock,

May 8. as "Old Kentucky Home
Week." in an effort to secure and
preserve Federal Hill, the place near

The idea is to secure funds for the
purchase of the place with its old
furniture and other valuable treas
urers. Convert the grounds into a
park, and present it to the State, and
it is to be to Foster what Mt. Vernon
is to Washington. AS it seemed i'm
possible to observe the entire week,
and as the Parent Teacher meeting
came just two days before. it was
decided to give this one program and
ask for a free will offering from the
pupils of the school, and from the
audience Hardinsburg is up and do
ing" and certainly wants to help in
this State wide campaign.
No special amounts will be asked
for. The contribution basket will
simply be passed, and all who want
to contribute will be given an oppor-
tunity to do so.
