The NWA Fair opened last even
ing with a capacity crowd in at
tendance.
Official welcome was made by
President Mrs. G. R. Jackson and
by past-president Charles D. Jones

efforts of the many civic-minded
citizens who had worked on the
preparation for the Fair.
The style show and entertain
ment which was sponsored by
the Beta Sigma Phi Sorority was
presented, showing the old and the

A barber shop quartet, complete
with curly mustaches and high
collars, sang oldtime songs. Nome’s
new quartet is composed of Ray
Tveter, Richard Small, Robert
Treat, and Arnold Cowan. We
hope to hear more of them this
winter. Special numbers during
this part of the show were by j
Katherine Bjornstad, who did j
Frankie and Johnnie, and Mr. and
Mrs. Eric Hay, who danced the
old-fashioned waltz.
Modern styles were presented
by Betty Colby of the N.C. as com
mentator. Lovely new gowns from
the N.C. Store, Dorothy’s and furs
from Polet’s were fashioned by a
group of the younger set, with
musical comedy being supplied by
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Killins, Bill
Boucher and Bob Drought.
Barksdale White, Don Bryant
and Charles Jones were respon
sible for appropriate musical set
ting throughout the entertain

Following the stage show the
crowd moved into the rocrm occu- j
pied by the Mining Division

were shown. It is understood that
the pictures will be shown again
