Youngsters Day
At Madison Fair
Set For Monday

Youngsters in and around LON
don will be in for a special treat
on Monday when the gates of the
Madison County Fair swing open
for them from morning till 5 pm,
at which time all the rides on
the midway will be offered to all
school children at special reduced
prices.
Children's matinees have long
been a feature with the Gooding
Amusement Company. F. E. Good
ing, himself family man, insisted
that at least one day a week be
set aside for junior and his gang
so that they might thoroughly en-
joy themselves and have the time
of their lives.
Special rides for the real small
fry can be found in the Kiddie-
land, also with the midway. De-
signed for the exclusive patronage
of the tiny folk, these rides will
also be reduced in price during
the matinee.
The Gooding Amusement Com
pany and offices of the Madison
Co. Fairs are going all out to
make this years children's matt
nee the greatest ever.

Outstanding And
Interesting Days
Planned For All

Madison County's sixty-eighth
annual fair and agricultural ex-
hibition gets underway Sunday
with some of the best livestock and
Junior Fair displays in recent
years. Special attractions are
scheduled each day with three
days of harness racing in the mid
die of the week.
According to County Agent John
Moore and others in the Junior
Fair Department, there have al
ready been more than 1900 entries
in the All Club division with all
available space filled and plans
made for tents and other places to
house the additional exhibits. Some
of the best livestock in recent his
tory will be exhibited by All Club
members during the week. Early
entries sent the Junior Fair space
past the full mark, and late en-
tries will probably demand much
more space.
In the adult exhibits, and open
classes, the Fair Board expects
about 10000 sheep, approximate

Work at the fairgrounds has
been underway for several weeks
giving the place face-lifting. New
paint has been applied to many
building, and the roofing on the

Points In Blood
Donor Program
To Assist Drive

The American Red Cross Blood
Recruitment Committee pointed
out some of the facts" about
blood donations during the work
toward the Bloodmobile visit on
Tuesday of next week.
In pointing out the different
uses of blood, they were emphasiz-
ing the importance of each and
every donation. Some of the facts
were listed as:
DID YOU KNOW THAT
every minute over 8 bottles of
blood are used in this country to
treat the i'll and injured?
Madison county residents used
total of 900 pints of blood and
serum albumin in hospitals last
year?
if everyone who is able would
make a blood donation once a
year, there would be plenty of
blood to meet these demands?
if the pint of blood you give is
not used for TRANSMISSION within q
days, it is reprocessed into "frac-
tions," such as gamma globulin for
preventing measles and infectious
hepatitis, fibrinogen to stop hemor-
rhage, serum albumin to combat
shock, and frozen plasma for
hemophiliacs?
if you have just turned eigh.
teen and are in good health, you
can be a blood donor, and give
someone else chance to celebrate
his birthday, too?
you can drop in at the Blood
mobile anytime between 10 and
o'clock next Tuesday at the Meth
odist church to give your pint OF
blood, or call one of these numbers
to make an appointment for that
day: UL 2-9934, UL 2-0355, UL q
1885, or UL 2-9058?

HUNTiNG
Advice to hunters Il. if you
ever get lost in the woods,
shoot something out of season
and the game warden will
come and get you.
COST
Boom times like these have
their drawbacks. 1t now costs
people more than at any time
in history to live beyond their
means.
LAZY
We know a guy who is so
lazy that if opportunity knock
ed at his door, he'd try to have
it arrested for disturbing the
peace.
EXCUSE
Man: MY wife hangs around
the bowling alley seven nights
week"
Another: How come she
does that?"
Man: "She's a pingirl"
FACT
A minor operation is simply
one performed on somebody
else.
oLpIE
Perhaps the oldest and best
of the slips" which sometimes
creep into newspaper columns
is this about a small-town
newspaper which printed the
following article: Last week
we printed a story in our pa
per which stated that Mr.. Sam
Swiss is a defective in the po-
lice force. We apologize for
this error. Mr.. Swiss is really
a detective in the police
farce"
DIFFERENCE
The difference between a
wolf and a timid soul is best
explained when one of each
was cast ashore on south sea
isle. Said the timid soul,
Goodness gracious! This is
land is probably inhabited by
a whole lot of wild men" And
the wolf leeringly added,
yeah, and wild women too!

they do bring out the beast IN
their husbands-who's afraid
of a mouse anyway?
OUCH!

viewed by an insurance man
as a possible prospect for a

cowboy if he had ever had any
accidents and the cowpoke
said "No." But added, "A

broke seven of my ribs and l
got bit by a rattle-snake!
Don't you call those acci-
dents ?" queried the agent.

"Them was on purpose!

tell us that the home is more

PARADOX
Football season will soon be
here. We will then watch the

HOW NOT TO GET A JOB
HOW NOT TO GET a JOB

Make No Hit With Employers

all boys and girls Is and II in
the District are not In school
They are "drop-outs."
About half that number are
not employed, although 1t is as
sumed that in most cases when
a pupil drops out 1t is to find a
job.
Last fall, the United States
Employment Service in the Dis
trict. with the active interest
of the schools. commissioned the
Bureau of Social Science Re-
search TO make the survey. The
purpose was to study District
employers practices. needs and
attitudes toward youth employ
ment in general and toward the
drop-outs in particular.
Not Easy for Them
The survey showed that the
drop-outs have a hard row TO
hoe In finding work.
The study was based on $50
interviews with most of the large
employers those with payrolls
OF $50 or more--and including a
random sampling OF smaller COM
panies.
Here are some OF the things
that they found:

interviewed said they had drop
outs on their payrolls.
A number Of employers do not
hire young workers because these
employers are unfamiliar with
the labor laws and believe those
laws would forbid II.
Attitude Unsatisfactory
The most favored method OF
recruiting new employees is the
newspaper advertisement. The
USES was most used as second
and third choices.
Employers look TO the schools
TO improve training Of the young
ster.
There is a widespread feeling
that general attitude toward life
and work on the part OF the
young person Is unsatisfactory
and that the schools could dc
more about II.
Many drop-outs do not know
how TO apply for a Job. Instruc.
ton in how to Ali out an applica-
ton blank would help. Personal
appearance was stressed.
Employers felt the schools
should teach more vocational
skills, with typewriting and
shorthand being most in demand
Reading. writing and arithmetic
were emphasized.

Rolf doesn't know where his
