FAIR WEATHER
The now snow has fallen on the
noun tain tops. That Is a warning;.
Tire ho bo jin inakinj plans. And
while you arc about it, be euro to
inclu.'e plans for the FAIR in
Fairer, Every year thus far there
in a Re. -od for :.;ore and '"'■ore space
A £oofi rany inqn.irc.es have been
nado '-bov.o .usinj the class roons
in th schol house for exhibit
space.
With school Starting the next
day it can easily bo ■understood
why those rooms must be ready .for
use. 3'ut, possibly the upstairs
hell specs could be mr.de available.
If the exhibits were removed
early in the afternoon of the last
day, the space could be returned
bo order. It is certainly unreason
able to expect one person to worl:
all night cleaning up. This brings
us to the•question of,"who will do
the work-', providing such space
can be arranged for. It seems
possible that a committee could
be appointed to handle this. If 3
tbi3 space could be had It would
make the fair more attractive,
exhibits will show to better ad
vantage when not crowded and all
exhibits can be safely locked at
night. Ho person need remain till
they drop from fatigue.
Maybe something can be done.
_SPECIAL PICIIIC LUNCH
FIELD "DAY ONLY
( I wonder if lie meant it 1)
According to the invitation I
got, it v/ound up something like
this.
”Tills year, you may bring your
lunch and have pot luck with the
others if you wish, or if you pre
fer, a picnic lunch with or -with
out a neighbor or friond, ( they
probably meant mustard).
There will be many big patches
of little dutch clover which will
be waiting to servo as your in
dividual picnic lunch,"
The next veel: after Field Day
you can expect to see something
like this in the Valley dottier;
LTJTTGE Oil THE LiiV/N—
A delicious luncheon was served
of little white dutch clovers
sprinkled with mustard and popper
grass. This unique new luncheon
dish was so greatly relished by
thoso present, it is feared the
clever will winter kill.
Anyway we'11 all bo there and
see what Den has to offer.
Please pan^ the.clover.
