WIN Cali Public Meeting.

VIII Call Public Meeting.
The Rutabaga Festival committee
met Tuesday evening to check over
the receipts and expenditures of the
recent festival. In spite of the rain
the fair was a success financially as
well as otherwise. The present COM
mittee is serving without term and
more or less as voluntary committee
members, as has been the case the
past few years. This condition, how
ever, is not as it should be and for
that reason it is desired to create a
permanent organization.
The board therefore decided to call
a public meeting to be held Tuesday
evening, September %, in the Legion
hall. They strongly urge everyone
interested in this activity to be
present that evening to take part in
the discussion and help create a
permanent organization. It is pos
sible that there will be representa-
tives from other communities who
can give some advice. So, please
keep the date in mind and do your
part toward maintaining this worth
while project.

departed. Of the latter So were
loaded with iron ore. There is q
grand rush now at the end of the
