tendance-Cong. Harold
Knutson, Speaker

Sank Centres fourth annual Har-
vest Festival was a success, and
although entries in the various de-
partments were not as heavy as In
the past, there Is general satisfac-
ton on the part Of the business
men and visitors that no part of
the two-day program had been
sighted.
There were TAO entries Of grain,
vegetables, canned goods, baking,
etc. Considering the dry year, this
compares fayorably with the en-
tries Of the past year, which were
1850.
The attendance this year was
possibly less than last year, owing
to the cold weather, which prevail
ed throughout the two days. The
program was good and all events
were shown according to schedule.
The cold weather was also draw
back to the pavement dance FRI
day night, however, the dance at
the armory Saturday night was
largely attended, and proved to be
quite successful. The sport pro-
gram, which was larger than any
offered during the past years, was
interesting. The entries in these
events were in some instances al
most too large to handle correctly.
The local band, drum corps and
Little German band presented a full
program Of music, interspersing
their offerings between the various
sport events.
Mayor w. e. DeLaurier welcom-
ed the visitors to the city Friday
afternoon and then presented DR..
j. "a. Dubois, who in turn intro
duced Congressman Harold Knut-
son as speaker of the day. Mr..
Knutson upheld the administration
and the New Deal" and also pre-
sented his views on needed legisla-
ton as to monetary imitation. He
stated that the program Of relief as
now carried out must be brought to
an end as soon as possible, so that
the tax burden Of today might be
lessened.
