WEST NOTTINGHAM COMMUNITY
EXHIBIT

The West Nottingham Grange
staged its 4th annual Community
Show On Oct. 26, with 60 exhibitors
showing total of 600 exhibits.
While not the largest show in
either number exhibiting or exhibits
displayed, it was by far the best in
quality, and the most attractive
ever held at West Nottingham. The
feature which added most to the
attractiveness of the show was the
flower exhibit, The high quality of
this fair is due principally to the
competition for the West Noting
ham trophy donated by the Bank of
Rising Sun and Port Deposit, busi-
ness firms Of Rising Sun, Colora and
Akin, for the best diversified exhibit.
1t had to be won three times before
being permanently owned. Locust
Lawn Farm won the trophy again
this year making it their third win.
Each year this trophy has been in
competition the show has increased
in quality and the competition has
become closer, 1t is hoped another
trophy will be put in competition to
encourage the growing and showing
of not more farm products, but bet
ter quality of farm products.

ABANDONED RURAL NEW
CASTLE SCHOOLS

Twenty abandoned schools in New
Castle County. Deb some of which
are nearly 100 yeors old, will be
offered at public sale by the State
Board of Education.
They have not been used for many
years, and because they have become
the rendezvous for disorderly charac-
ters, some of them said to be boot
leggers, and because there is continu-
GUS danger Of the State Board Of
Education being liable for what takes
place in these unsued buildings, It
was decided best to get rid Of them.
