Dates Seized uIed
For Annual Noble
County Fair Here
Usual Appropriation
Of $500 Also Granted
To Local Fair Society

Columbus, Jan. 22-(Ohio Press)
Initial plans for the 1947 Noble
County Fair, tentatively scheduled
to be held August 27-29, were made
here at the 22nd annual meeting of
the Ohio Fair Managers Association.
More than one thousand fair men
from all over Ohio were present
at the convention at the Deshler-
Wallick hotel Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday to get ideas and sugges-
tions for making their 1947 fairs
the best in history.
The dates for the Noble County
Fair was approved by the Ohio De-
partment of Agriculture the first
day of the convention so that J. K.
Walkenshaw, Caldwell, secretary of
the fair at Caldwell, could talk dates
with concession and entertainment
people who plastered the lobby of
the hotel with posters advertising
their rides and acts.
The association voted to request
the 9th General Assembly to con-
tinue its $500 appropriation for pay
ment of junior fair premiums at the
Noble County Fair and others
throughout the state, contending
that the 194546 payments were a
great benefit in stimulating the pro-
duction of agricultural products.
Other resolutions requested that
Ohio provide new site for the Ohio
State Fair Grounds and that the
tax on fair admissions be repealed
by the federal government.
Fair managers were advised that
harness race purses would have to
be increased since it costs more to
run a horse now. They were told
to get out their premium lists early
so that exhibitors could plan their
showings. All fairs were urged to
organize complete junior fair and
include more women among the
fair managers.
Four division winners, Tuscar-
awaS, Sandusky, Mercer and Fay
cite, were selected in the competi-
ton for the Myers Y. Cooper trophy
for the best 1916 fair in Ohio.
Participating in the convention
were fair presidents, vice presidents,
secretaries, concession managers,
treasurers, speed department super
intendents, livestock, junior fair
and women department managers.
The association elevated its first
vice president, E. w. Lampson of
Jefferson, Ashtabula county, to the
presidency succeeding Walter J.
Buss of Woosters.

Effort Will Be Made To Organize Parent Teachers
Association In Caldwell, Monday, January Il

an organization for several years
and it is one of the few commun-
tiles of its size that doesn't have an
association connected directly with

but purely from a sports angle. The
Parent Teachers association will
concern itself mainly from the edu-
cational angle, ways and means of
improving the school situation for
their children and other more cul-
tural advancements.
All parents, teachers and any
others interested are requested and
urged to attend this meeting next
Monday evening.

Russian, American Delegates In Heated Battle
tBy John "A. Paris. Jr.)

LAKE SUCCESS, (P)- Russia and the United States appeared Saturday to be headed for a show down battle in the United Nations security council over a Slav revolt against maintaining an interna- tional watch on the troubled Bal kan frontier areas.
 Representatives of the two pow CTS tangled Friday over Yugosla- viaS right to deliver a ''tirade" against the Greek government in the council.
 U. s. deputy delegate Herschel V. Johnson and Soviet deputy foreign minister Andrei A. Grom- yko traded sharp words after the American interrupted a speech by Saya N. Kosanovic, Yugoslav rep resentative, who had been invited to the council table to give his country's views on Balkan in- quiry group.
 As the Yugoslav representative reiterated charges that the pres ent Greek government was re- sponsible for all border incidents along the frontiers with Albania, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria, John- son interrupted:
 Do we have to put up with this tirade against the Greek gov- ernment? I've never heard such an astonishing statement made in the security council"
 Kosanovic retorted:
 "YugoSlavia has a right to de- fend herself"
 And then Gromyko declared.
 "I ask the United States dele gate not to interrupt and let the Yugoslav delegate speak.
 'I do not recognize the right of the Soviet delegate to tell me
