ORDERLY EVENT IS ASSURED BY POLICE HEADS City, County, State Officers To Combine Efforts Since the first Decatur Free Street Fair and Agricultural Show was sponsored by the Decatur I Chamber of Commerce tn 1035. the ■ event has been marked by its ordjirllness, deanllnaaa and managc- | Went. Never once in the four previous year* has the record of the fair been marred by other.than minor disorder*. which were quickly quelled. This year is expected to be no exception. To insure clean, wholesome entertainment on the part of the exhibitors and carnival men and to guard against any vandalism, rowdyism or disturbances among the over-enthusiastic fair celebrants, the Chamber of Commerce has once again planned a heavy detail of police. John L.
