THE rush for gold" is on. Hill
l. crest's annual stag feature was
on today. Golf clubs instead OF
picks and shovelS were the nipple
ments, cold kegs of beer located in
dispensing tents about the course
gave relief from the sun-baked fair

wager a little of the stage dough
on his ability.
Dinner tonight followed by enter
tainment and prize distribution
formed the closing program.
