My Town Can’t Be Too Good For Me By *Wib” Chaffee (For nearly three years the Chaffee jingles have appeared in the advertising of The Big Green Barn garage and they have been a source of enjoyment to all. His present contribution, published below, can not be classed as a jingle, however. In our opinion it is not only his masterpiece, but a bit of verse that*is outstanding in current poetry.) My Town can’t be too good for me, Nor I too big or good for it; Though small in size My Town may be, I’d have it big in "Push” and "Grit.” My Town must meet emergencies With dauntless courage, vim and “Pep”; Though progress is not bought with ease, My Town must not get “out of step.” My Town must tackle every task — Go forward always—ne’er back down. ’Neath foreign suns though I may bask, I’d think with pride of this, My Town. My Town, of course, is good enough, No matter how my fortunes swell, Nor yet how fortune may rebuff, My Town’s defamers I would quell. —And yet, down deep within my heart I know My Town improved could be; To help improve 4’ll do my part— My Town can’t be too good for me! —The Herald (Tippecanoe City, Ohio)

The midway was lined with con-1 cession stands, rides ai*l shows, and the grounds had every appearance of an old time rally. The rains of Satirday and early Sunday settled the Just and the day was ideal. After the rodeo, the famous Sally-Lou Steppers, a company of 15 people, entertained the crowd in front of the grandstands with many new songs and dances. The General Electric band, under the leadership of Senor Cafaro and the Decatur Junior band furnished .he music for all the events. During the afemoon program, an airplane dropped down to within fifty feet of the ground and thrilled the crowd with a series of maneuvers and tricks. In the evening, another large crowd assembled and the rodeo program was given under powerful spotlights. Preceding the regular rodeo program, a historical review was given by the rodeo company. The parade was headed by Paul Revere, followed by listorical characters of all American periods. Each character carried an American flag.
