On Monday, Oc tober 6, men and women of Kershaw county will be- at the KershaVr county fair grounds here getting the ex hibits in readiness for the annual event. The fair is in splendid hands this year, the spon soring group being the Kershaw County Farm Bureau. The members of the bureau realize that the fair should be made educational, entertaining and whole some. Too often in the past too much emphasis has been placed on the midway or carnival end of the pro^ gram. When this condition prevails, the whole setup becomes a miniature Coney Island—and ceases to be a fair. Fair officials want to make the 1947 county fair here a real affair. They cannot do dt alone—they must have the cooperation of everyone in the county to put it over. Let's make our fair this year an honest-to-good- ness, old-fashioned affair, with good exhibits in every department. Good fairs bring the people of the county to Camden—it cements friendships, creates good fel lowship aiid attracts people from other ^parts of the state. Fairs that have a midway as the main attraction only serve to fill the pockets of carnival bosses. Our fair should be one that will be of benefit to merchants, industrialists and farmers. Let’s make it that kind of a fair. When you are hurt Better he sure The bills you get Won*t make you poor. Protect Your Income NOW / Out of 13 Persons in the U. S.
