ing, equipment, etc. Also to be

Musical Marcheteers
The Caldwell Hi band under
the direction of Marvin Wood
| once again made its requested
appearance at the fair, putting
on an excellent program of con-
cert and march music Marching
exhibitions entertained fair goers
and showed the group to be in
fine condition for the coming
marching season.
The Midway
AS usual the midway was filled
in the evenings with throngs of
countians taking part in the
rides, attending evening shows,
frequenting side shows and
chance games, eating and taking
in the many displays the fair
offered.
Seven rides were presented by
the Deggeller amusement COM
pany, including the return by
popular demand Of the dodge-em
cars. The large beacon light fur
nished by this company could
be seen for at least 20 miles
away and further by those COM
ing to the fair.
BO BO Has Cold
| Everybody has certain prob
lens when fair time comes
around-even snakes. A local
drugstore clerk wasn't too sur
prised when woman came in
to ask for penicillin for animals,
but was quite shocked when the
woman said, my snake has a
cold" A brief explanation
ensued in which it turned out
that Bo Bo the Boa Constructor,
appearing in the side show at the
| fair, had caught virus, and, like
anyone else, needed medication.
The Painter
An artist appeared on the
scene of the fair this year,
amazing people with his ability
to paint very creditable picture
in very short time.
The artist is Paul Lybarger,
| of Newark. AS medical student
at O.S.U., he discovered a knack
for sketching and switched his
major to art in which he now has
degree. He has taught art for
some eight years in Newark,
Florida and other places, but
now spends summers going from
one fair to another, and now, and
for the past 9 years, can be
found painting every Sunday at
Hill Billy park in Newark.
His unorthodoX method of
painting, he says, comes from
working so much in the public
eye and the need for hurry at
such time. AS he gained expert
ence in painting, he found it
possible to increase the size of
his brush and thus increase the
speed of painting, still creating
the same effect that small
brushes and more time would
create
| Lybarger paid a visit to the
| Noble county fair some five
years ago, at which time he sold
| 200 paintings here. He expressed
| it a pleasure to return and greet
old friends in the county.
With already some $4,000
paintings to his credit, he always
works in oils, but on various
backsings such as velvet, glass
and his standard work on mas
onite
The American Tradition
| The Noble county fair came
to an end on Saturday night for
another year, but with perhaps
more significance than usual.
People bore the inconvenience
of the loss of the grandstand and
still attended functions coming
off down on the track area
more amazing yet is the fact that
there were even seats on which
to sit, considering the time of
the fire. The fair showed the
degree of cooperation under
which people can work.
The American tradition was
also exemplified in the fine dis
plays seen in the floral hall and
the equally fine ones in the live
stock barns. The All and open
cattle events were very good and
other livestock displays were also
in top notch form, as the dis
plays made by local business
organizations, farm and town
specialists alike.
| Miss Kay Henderson, of Rein
ersville, was the "out rider" for
the Noble county fair races. She
was riding a horse owned by
| Orville Still, of Caldwell.
