The committee, headed by Dr. Q. F. Stultz, included Guy Calbeck, - Calhoun Cartwright and Ben Glaser. Frank Wiley was appointed on the committee representing the Chamber of Commerce. Guy Calbeck was placed in charge of the fund drive and ne ‘appointed the following district chairmen, who selected their own workers, -Mrs. Stacy Archer, Mrs. Tom Cass, Ben Glaser, Mrs. Hubert Stump, Mrs. Tom Hire, Mrs. William Cochran, Mrs. William Furkis, Mrs. John Ulrey, Mrs. W. G. Spears and Mrs. Coats. , The industrial chairmen are J. H.

Summer Program Ends The race culminates the summer recreation program eondueted by The Ligonier Players and supervised by Mr. and Mrs. Bill Abbs.

This year’s program was acclaimed highly successful by all persong coming- in contact with the work, and had the highest regular attendance of the three years it has been in existance. One *hundred and seven boys and girls enrolled for the program, which was held each week day in the morning and afternoon. An attendance log, kept daily by the supervisors, showed a high attendance mark of eighty-seven and a low of twenty-two. The average attendance was forty, and only during the week of the girl scout camp did the attendance fall below the thirty mark. The -last two weeks kept some of the children from attending due to the polio scare. “Rainy days did not hurt our attendance,” Bill Abbs commented. “On those days, we played Monopoly and kept busy with the crafts. Omne rainy day we had forty youngsters playing Monopoly.” , : ‘ The program is financed by the dramatic productions of the Ligonier Players witlr help from the City Council.

Noble Co. Fair Opens August 16 In Kendallville

The Noble County Fair, being heralded as the biggest and best in the organization’s sixty-seven years, will be held August 16 thru 20 at the spacious, shady, Kendallville Fairgrounds.

Thrills, fun and entertainment will be packed into this year's stupendous agricultural and industrial achievement for five days and nights, the programs opening officially Tuesday noon, August 16, with a brilliant fireworks display scheduled for the grand finale on Saturday night. Elaborate displays and exhibits of farm and home products will highlight the event for many and to some 400 4-H Club boys and girls, the fruits of year-long effort will be mirrored.

The annual horse pulling contest will start the week’s activities Tuesday afternoon with $2OO in cash prizes to be awarded to the winners, the contest being open to Noble and all bordering counties.

With the largest field of pacers and trotters ever entered in the Noble County Fair, the harness events will be staged Wednesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons, while Saturday will again be Derby Day, seven events being on the card for the runners.

Featuring this year’s nightly grandstand show will be the “Springtime Follies,” a dazzling big-time revue of rare colors, costuming, music and lighting ef-

fects, combined with 16 stellar vaudeville acts to make a one hour and forty-five minute show which Clinton S. Rimmel, fair secretary, recommends as equal to the best seen in swanky supper clubs of the large cities. Away from the exhibit halls, livestock barns and one-half mile race track will be the popular midway which will be lined from end to end with rides, shows and concessions to make the fun center for young and old.
