Monroe Community Days Draw Crowds Friday, Saturday Crowds of 3,000 to 4.000 initiated Monroe's community days as music from a cakewalk, announcements from* loudspeakers, concession stands, and rides came to Monroe tor the first time last Friday and Saturday. Jointly sponsored by the Lions and the Monroe firemen, the event began with Joe Taylor and the Redbirds' two-hour free act Friday evening; and thus the two organisa tions began their drive to finance a new fire truck for Moftroe and the surrounding area. Saturday afternoon the Adams Central Marching Fifty-Five’s parade of song made main street echo with music. Filling out free act entertainment, Al and his pal Archfe. actually a smart little "dummy." displayed tricks Saturday evening, even though a lively autumn wind made it difficult for" Al's" magical performance. While special entertainment was not on stage, crowds continually drifted toward the east side of the fair area and the cakewalk, where 400 cakes were won Friday evening and from 2 p.m. to closing time Saturday. “Fury,” a patient Mexican burro, drew' attention to Democratic headquarters. and added a certain atmosphere with an occasional bray. Ponies, the kiddie ferris wheel, and the tractor train attracted the young fry, who kept both the rides and concessioners busy. Civic-minded residents from both the rural area and town proper entered the popcorn stands, cakewalk. and bingo and food tents to take care of most of the work around concessions. Near the end of the two-day-long fair. Lions club president. Martin Steiner, summed up the festivities: “It was a very good turnout—a good beginning for the Monroe community days.” Investment Firm Founder Is Dead NEW YORK (UP) — Funeral services will be held Tuesday for Charles Edward Merrill, 70. founder and directing partner of the investment banking and brokerage firm Merrill Lynch.
