days instead. of three as in seasons
past. with the fourth and last given
over to some novel attraction which
the officials are reluctant to announce
just at present. This much they are
willing to give out. and that is that
the fair will open on Labor Day, with
features already booked to make that
ard the three days following one of
the big fairs of the State. A meeting
was held in the Gorham selectmen's
office Friday afternoon with the pres
ident, M. Irving Collins. and every
director present. Plans for the fair
were gone over thoroughly and the
Fourth of July celebration discussed.
In the arrangement. for the latter
the Cumberland County Agricultural
and Horticultural Association will
unite with the town and all the Sc
cret order organizations, to the end
that this observance of the National
holiday shall be the greatest possible
success. The program outlined will
be similar to the Gorham celebration
of three years ago. but on a much
larger scale.
