Well the great and glorious
Montgomery County Fair is
over and the congregations OF
st. Bartholomew's in Laytons-
will and Salem Church in Cedar
Grove will long remember 1t as
a week Of combined very hard
work and fun too. Endless
mountains OF potatoes were
pared and wound up as mashed
potatoes or salad; equally end
less mountains of chicken were
gone over and fried.
We're sure Margaret Riggs
will be Touring chicken in her
sleep for the next couple OF
weeks. Head after head of cab
bage became cole slaw under
the capable fingers Of Nellie
Burdette. The two minister's
Ira Sticknan and Harry Dalzell
displayed great capabilities as
dish washers and everyone
worked like the proverbial Tro-
jams.
Tom Howes' def fingers
made short work OF slicing hams
and roast beef and Marian
Brown made equally short work
Of Skiing corn. Breakfast chair.
