The Community Displays and the Agricultural Ex hibits—the fancy work, canned goods, the displays by the Garden clubs' and the Council of Farm Women, the Flower Show, and School Booths all were fine and revealed the ability and ingenuity of Newberry Coun ty people from every section.

Thanks are due so many individuals and organiza tions that we will not single out any particular one. However, the Legion is grateful to all who contributed to the success of the Fair in any way.
