Charity Benefits From Fair Stands Run By Sororities Bingo haa come into its own as I a commercial venture, and for the *ponxoring sororities, it has proven a worthwhile means of raiding funds. The funds thus raised are usually spent on a pet < harity of the particular group, and none of the < money is used to swell the sorority's treasury. The bingo concessjons are eni tirely a professional enterprise., The sororities themselves have nothing invested: they, however, sanction thee bingo concessions, which is the only means they (the bingo stands) have of getting on the midway. An official of one of the sorori- 1 ties said that competition had he-1 come too great in recent years for ' the groups to compete. The prizes. ' tents, space rental, and other ind- I dental expenses forced them into ! merely sponsoring a stand. "This way." the sorority official I said, "we have no chance of loan. 1 and it Is easier for us ” She went i on to say that they have a working I agreement with the in-coming concessioner. wljo pays them a per- i j centage of the total, and takes all ! ' responsibility. However, rim e none of the I bingo stands can l*e erected along ) th» midway unless sponsored by a , group, such as a sorority, there is | a certain mutual benefit in that j one cannot work without the other i The amount of the percentage given the sororities varies, perhaps., from year to year, and from con-1 cessioner to concessioner, though most of it Is patented stuff, the I rate and the working agreement. The publicity for each bingo stand, of course, is something which the individual group must try to work out, because the more customers who play, the larger their dividend when the amount I* apportioned at fair’s end. And in this way the groups vie with one I another for patronage, and, ac-1 cording to the official. ”. . . it's i really charity that gains from these games.” The tomato Is legally a vegetable botanically a fruit. In 1893, the U. S Supreme Court ruled that It is a vegetable. But by botanical definition, the tomato, snap or green beans, garden pepper and many others are fruits. Trade in a Good Town — Decatur
