of getting one of the other service
clubs to co-sponsor the Fair As.
ISOLATION as they were financially
unable to handle it alone. Upon
investigation it appeared that the
LADA, County Agent, and the
All Leaders mad already given up
the idea of a fair. Each group
however, Individually offered to
cooperate in any way possible to
have a fair and at the same time
pointed out the inadvisability Of
having a fair due to lack of per.
manent buildings and trained per.
sonnet to devote the necessary
time to make it successful.
At a recent meeting of the
board of directors of the Jaycees
these points were discussed. Since
it appeared that the agricultural
groups had not anticipated a fan.
and had not directly requested the
Jaycees to sponsor n alone, the
directors felt it inadvisable to at
tempt to have a fair this year.
Matter Again Opened
At the following regular meet
ing of the Jaycees the decision of
the board was announced and the
matter was again opened for dis
~cussion. Members asked repre-
sentatives of the LADA and Coun-
ty Agents office who We're pres
ent if by not sponsoring the fair
would any young groups or indi-
viduals be disappointed.
These representatives informed
Jaycees that there had been little
or no preparation during the past
ear toward a fair. So due to
the lack of time to create interest
and for one organization to make
the necessary preparations it was
voted that the fair would not be
held this year.
