Interest Shown
In Revival of
County Fair
Representative Groups From
Other County Areas To
BE Invited To Next
Meeting

Interest in reviving the Garrett
County fair or some similar attrac-
ton for the fall season here,
brought out 25 or more persons to
a meeting in the firemen's hall in
Oakland on Monday evening.
While most of those present eX-
pressed a desire to see the fair re-
vived, they were of the opinion that
more information about the entire
program should be known before
any organization was effected.
Lawrence NJ. Fraley was named
temporary chairman of the meet
ing whose duties will continue I'M
til the information is secured and
letters written to various organi-
cations in the county inviting rep
resentatives to attend another
meeting on Tuesday, February g.
Business men present at Mon
days meeting were of the opinion
that there should be expressions
from representative business men
and farm people Of other sections
of the county; that there should be
definite information about the pos
siblc site for a fair; just what con-
ditions would be necessary to re-
ceivc funds from the State Fair
board, and other information.
Fraley said he would prepare a
letter which would be sent out with
in the next few days.
Purpose of the meeting was out
lined by Emroy Bolden, member of
the Oakland Fire company, who
had made some investigation pre-
viously as to possible sites anC
what expenses to expect.
There has been no fair in Gar
rett county for about twenty
years. Within the past few years
d Preston county fair has been held
at Terra Alta, and numLo oi
the counties of Maryland hold an
nual fairs.

spring-like weather this week after
a brief cold snap, but the weather
men promised that it wouldn't last
long. a new cold wave was NOV
ing east, preparing to bring the

driven the mercury down to So de-
grees below zero in northern Mon
tana. Sub zero cold was common
in the Dakotas, Minnesota and
Nebraska. Colder air was expected
to reach the eastern seaboard by
late Thursday.
Since last Thursday the county
has had several inches of snow and
a drop in temperature which
reached Ii degrees below zero on
Monday morning. South winds
quickly changed that however, for
on the following day the MGR

good deal of melting. Snow fell
both last Thursday, about three
inches, and additional snow on
Sunday morning.
Rain fell on Friday, Saturday,
and was falling slightly this morn
ing. Monday and Tuesday were
