The Renville County Fair, held at
Bird Island will have no gambling de-
vices among it's amusement features
this year. At least the Young Peo-
Piles Societies of twelve Protestant
Churches of the neighboring county
have petitioned the Fair Board to
eliminate all such devices and the
Board seems very much disposed to
comply with the expressed wish of
the younger citizenry of the County.
Suggestions have been made by the
Board as to one or two things which
the young people might do to help
give entertainment for the Bird Is
land Fair and it is possible that these
local numbers will be featured. In
the meantime other counties will
watch with great interest Renville's
attempt to rid her fair of these gamb-
ling devices which break beth moral
