FAIR PLANS ARE
BEING SHAPED

ger apd Better Say Those
i'm Charge.

The Kerrick Community fair Is
ranidIy approaching, and everyone is
waiting expectantly for the surprises
they are going to receive. With all
the preparations being made there
surely can be no mistake as to sue
cess of the event this year. The only
thing that could dampen the spirits
of the committee members is cloud
burst. and even that would not dis
hearten them entirely. Should it
rain, the event will take place just
the same: the only difference would
he that the stands and attractions
would be moved into the school build
ing.
Each day the members of the diff
ferent committees are conjuring up
new and novel ideas to make the fair
a thing of excitement and fun for
everyone from two feet to seven feet
in height and if they don't succeed
in bringing a crowd up to the school
house. ready for a day Of glee, by
eleven O'Clock they'll surely not feel
that they've been successful. The
fireworks will begin at about eleven
o'clock, and the committee is going
to make the first attraction a BIG
one so that you will not dare to
miss it Those who do will discover
!; that, theirs will be regrets, and the
only way to prevent such regrets Is
, to be there ready for the works al
that time.
