"... •- ■ . , R' 'jfc > ~ L. -. ' - ? jt GOV. M. C. TOWNSEND After serving four years as Commissioner of Agriculture and active head of the Indiana State Fair, Governor Townsend said to* day that it is only natural that he hold more than usual interest in the annual Hoosier exposition and predict that the 1937 renewal will be bigger and better from every angle. Removed from active connection with the exposition by his elevation to the state’s chief executive position, Governor Townsend refuses, however, to allow himself to get out of touch with the •/'air. • He holds high hopes that the 85th annua! exposition to be held this year Sept. 4th to 10th, inclusive, will exceed the 1936 Fair in attendance. A new record was set last year when 365,961 persons viewed the exhibits, but according to Governor Townsend all records are made to be broken and he sets the goal, he hopes will be attained, at 400,000 this year. In serving four years as Commissioner of Agriculture, Governor Townsend spent much time in making the 13,500,000 exposition space the most beautiful and efficient as an exhibition grounds in the world. During the past year he has tended every moral support to Henry F. Schricker, present Commissioner of Agriculture, and the Indiana Board of Agriculture in continuing that improvement and beautifying program. Referring to the fair as “The Show Window of Progress,” Governor Townsend urged every citizen of Indiana to make every effort to attend the exposition at least two or three days. He maintains that much time is required , to view all the exhibits and to fully realize just what the grand old , statTjf Hoosierdom possesses and i produces. »
