Hagerstown Fair
Is Huge Success

Favored with ideal Fall weather,
the Hagerstown Fair, which closes
on Saturday night, is really packing
them in, with everyone voting it
an outstanding show in every re-
spect.
From an entertainment point of
view the Ice Follies is unquestion-
ably the biggest and best grand
stand attraction ever offered Fair
patrons, while the other varied at
fractions, showing every afternoon
are running the Follies a close sec
ond.
Another innovation, the harness
races, staged every afternoon, are
a tremendous favorite with the huge
crowds that are attending daily,
while needless to say the Midway
continues to be big drawing card
for young and old alike.
The exhibits, too, are drawing the
acclaim of the thousands who have
visited them, with many claiming
that they are far in advance of any
thing shown here before.
All in all the officers of the Fair
Association are to be heartily con
graduated on the splendid job they
have done-a job that once again
puts Hagerstown on the map as hav-
ing one of the best annual fairs
in the State.

French Constitution
Is Expected 70 Win
Approval Tomorrow
By the Assoeiofed Press

PARIS, Oct. 12,-Most observers
predicted today that France would
approve the proposed new French
constitution in tomorrow's referen-
dunn despite Gen. Charles de
Gaulle's grim warning that 1t would
imperil the nations future.
A few analysts felt, however, that
Gen. de Gaulle's opposition to the
new basic law drafted for the Fourth
Republic-the second try this year
has given the referendum such an
aspect of plebiscite on his behalf
that the result could not be FORE
told.
The majority predictions were
based on the assumption that the
voters would hew closely to party
lines. If this proved to be completely
true, the charter would be adopted
by $4,000, 900 "yes" votes, against
5000, 900 mo" ballots.
THIS calculation is based on last
June's election, in which the Com
munists, Socialists and Popular Re-
publicans (MRP) which all support
the -amassed 15-to-5 advan-
tage over the Radical Socialists and
Rightists Parties which opposed 1t.
"A previous constitution was rejected
by majority Of more than a mill
lion votes last May.
The big unknown in tomOrrow's
balloting, however, is the drawing
power Of Gen. de Gaulle, who has
condemned the Charter on the
grounds it does not give the execu-
tive enough power, and does not
separate the legislature, judiciary
and executive branches in such a
fashion as to provide France a
strong government.
Recognizing the power of Gen. de
Gaulle's challenge of his MRP party
leadership, President Georges, BIZ
dault last night urged the nation to
approve the constitution to ENSURE
civil peace in the republic" and pro-
tect "the independence Of the ma
ton"
