Community fairs promote
community pride and interest,
thus giving a broadening effect
to the individual: they teach

mote a higher standard of living
for the individual family. They
also build up community ideals.
They result in an improve

Whenever prizes are awarded at
a fair Of this kind, the judges
are expected to explain the rea-
