Fair Time Ahead A rush of activity is underway at the 4-H grounds in Monroe, just two weeks before the annual county 4-H fair. While the sides to the new county highway building are curing, Yost Construction Company men are helping the 4-H building committee erect a 50 by 100 foot steel show ring. This will he the fourth building constructed in the past four years. The first fair was held on the new site in 1955 following a couple of years by the old Monroe school building south of that town. In 1956, the cattle building was ■ finished; the next year the open-style hog building was built, and last year the sheep building, in the same pole construction was completed. This week, cement foundations for the new steel building are" being completed. It is hoped that the building will be finished by fair time, but the possibility exists that a tent will be used again this year for showing purposes. — — „ The building committee will appreciate any help it can get this week, Peter B. Lehman, chairman, has said. Hugo Boerger will be there Wednesday to help, and anyone else who can spare some time will be greatly appreciated. The kitchen will be put in order next Monday. A lot of work has been done around the other buildings, including the installation of drain tile, furnished by the Krick-Tyndall Company, and installed by Virgil Bowers. The county has installed five large cisterns to take off ground water a little faster. Downspouts from the roofs of the constructed buildings have been built into the tile drainage, and spouting on the roofs will be completed in the future. A large 20 foot washing area for the animals between the hog and cattle building, with its back against the new showroom, will be built this week by volunteer labor, Lehman said. The new steel building will be ten feet to the eaves, plenty high for the new horse show, which will be a part of the 4-H program this year. The county 4-H fair is one of the finest shows of its kind in Indiana, and people from all parts of the county have loyally supported it. A number of committees work all year to make the three-day affair a big success. Each year the grounds have been improved, and each year the young people take a bigger and bigger interest in the show. w - : - - — - — — —■—- — ■"" 11 1 .1 ■" - -

Fun, Relaxes Education D Nearly three days of real fun, relaxation and education at low cost are in store for the 90 persons who go on the “weekend in Manhattan” tour August 7-10. Two coaches are available this year for the bargain summer weekend vacation tour to New York City and West Point, sponsored by the Decatur Daily Democrat and the Erie railroad. West Point Military Academy will be the main Saturday point of interest on the tour, which leaves Decatur at 1:34 p.m. Friday, August 7 on' the air-conditioned “Lake Cities” diesel passenger train. After arriving in New York at the Hoboken station about 8:25 a.m. Saturday, the party will be taken from the train to the motor coaches for transfer though the Lincoln tunnel to Pier 81, foot of West 41st street, New York City. A 10 a.m., they will leave on the Hudson Day Line steamer “Alexander Hamilton,” to begin the 100mile Saturday tour with a maximum amount of sightseeing along a route that has many points of interest in American history. The passengers will travel the same route as the early Dutch settlers and pass through historic country, where battles of the American Revolution were fought. There will be Grant’s tomb, Riverside church, George Washington bridge, the Palisades, Irvington, Tarrytown, Sing Sing prison, Indian Point, and Bear mountain, among other historic places, to see. The Day Line lecturer will explain these in detail. Sail Up the Hudson After the leisurely sail up the Hudson, the passengers will dock at the West Point pier, where special buses will take them on a one and one-half hour complete tour of the Military Academy. Places of special interest will be the administration building, museum, cade chapel, the library, riding hall, Cullum memorial hall, Washinton hall, parade grounds, and trophy point. The tour will return by bus to New York City along the west side of the Hudson river and through the Lincoln tunnel.

Sunday, the tourists will be able to attend the church of their choice, and in the afternoon, there will be a sightseeing tour of down-! town New York.
