Third place white ribbon went
to the Caldwell Lassies who said,
Let All be your pot of gold at
the end of the rainbow" This
group of younger Alters used a
colorful rainbow as the back
ground for sewing articles, baked
goods and food displays they had
made.
Fourth boys had on display
in their exhibition many items
pertinent to their program of
learning and participation. A
large display of lamps and utility
lights were displayed in ad-
dition their show of various
types of woodcraft, rope and
and knot tieing, results of gar
dening, examples of field crops,
work tools, first aid kits, and
conservation hints. Many blue
ribbons hammered the items
which also included wood work.
This group of busy countians
also had a food booth and a
dairy bar to keep them occupied
full time. All the booths, display
items and projects showed hard
work and aptness, making them
more than ever an integral part
of the fair. Due credit should
also be given to the 4-H directors,
Paul Jonard and Miss Helen
Combs and their helpers, and to
the leaders of the various clubs
in Noble county.

on view in the floral hall was
