Good Livestock And Agricultural
Exhibits Assured For Annual Fair
Gillespie County’s 67th annual
Fair is shaping lor one ol the
finest expositions in history with
all committees busily at work
with their phases of the fair
which is to open on August 19
and through August 21.
Indications are that good agri-
cultural displays will be entered
at the fair despite the several
years drouth that has prevented
the good farm crops that nor-
mally grow in the county. In
addition to many individual en-
tries expected, community entries
will be at the fair from the pro-
gressive communities of Doss and
Stonewall which will have their
community fairs this weekend.
Very interesting agricultural
displays will also be arranged
by the 4-H Clubs and FFA Chap-
ters of the county ,They will also
further interest with educational
displays in which they will be
joined by the Future Home Mak-
ers of Fredericksburg High
School.
Livestock entries already made
insure good classes of beef and
dairy cattle; large groups of
goats and sheep and a very size-
able entry list of swine. Poul-
try will be present in large num-
bers.
Entertainment at the exhibi-
tion will be among the best of-
fered at a county fair. Thorough-
bred horse races are on each
afternoons program, baseball
games are on deck daily, good
band music will be presented
both day and night and the Bill
Hames Shows will offer one of
the best and brightest midways
eveb presented at the local fair.
Night entertainment will bring
one of the finest programs ever
presented here and should truly
prove interesting for young and
old. Johnny Lane, famous TV
performer, will be master of cer-
emonies for the show and present
a fine retinue of songs. Thrilling
Western entertainment will high-
light each nights show with
such artists as Jack Andrews and
his Bull Whip, one of the few per-
forming Brahma bulls in show
business plus a very educated,
trained mule. The Henrys, man
and woman balancing act, will
present their rolling globe plus
a refreshing act of six Liberty
Ponies and an additional per-
formance by 20 highly trained
dogs. Otha Peeples is sure to
bring a thrilling close to each
nights program with his famous
“Double Eagles”, a superb team
of jumping, high school horses.
Music for the acts will be pre-
sented by Carl Moran at the
superb Hammond Organ, playing
background music for the entire
program. St. Mary’s High School
Band, under the direction of
Joseph Paulson, will open each
nights performance with a con-
cert preceding the regular pro-
gram.
All exhibits at the fair will be
open at night for the benefit of
folks who are unable to attend
during the day or who prefer to
come in the cool of the evening.
Lower admission prices will
prevail at night than during the
day but very reasonable prices
have been set for all events. Six
o’clock will see the lowered ad-
mission in effect daily.
A very fine trades and com-
mercial show is being arranged
at the fair in addition to the
farm machinery show to be pre-
sented on the grounds..
Many special attractions at the
fair will include a superb display
of stones; another of a great se-
lection of Indian arrowheads and
another will show attractive
wood carvings. Among other in-
teresting displays will be a plas-
tic figure, showing the veins, and
arteries in the human body.
Special entertainment will be
provided throughout the day.
Fredericksburg High School Band
under the direction of Hilmar
Wagner, will play during the
first two days of the fair and the
Gillespie County Fair Band on
the final day. Other special pro-
grams will be presented during
various hours of the day from
commercial booths, including con-
tinuous performances on the
Hammond Organ and special en-
tertainment provided by the Lone
Star Gas Company.
Bozo, the Clown, will of course
be there to entertain young and
old alike. Bozo will be making
the rubber dogs, giraffes and
many other interesting ‘animals’
with which he has entertained the
youngsters for the many years he
has been coming here.
A hospitality tent will be erect-
ed by the Boy Scouts to provide
ice water as well as a first aid
station for fair goers.
Judging at the fair will again
be divided so that it may be
seen by greater number of fair
visitors. Livestock will be judg-
ed on Saturday morning and the

"Light" Snack
For Ducks
Coming back from Balesville
the other night I noticed a power-
ful light at Whitey Fisher’s Duck
Farm. Seemed to be shining out
over the water.
I stopped to ask Whitey what
went on. He took me down to his
pond and pointed out a 200-watt
bulb-rigged up on a pole about
three feet above the surface. The
light was attracting thousands
of insects for the ducks to eat.
Seemed kind of odd to me—but
Whitey was enthusiastic. “Best
idpa I ever heard of,” he claims.
“Keeps the feed bill down-and
the hug population, too. Why do
you suppose I never thought of
it before?”
From where I sit, Whitey’s the
type who’s always ready to pio-
neer a worth-while new trick. Me,
I stick to old methods. Just a case
of personal feeling, I guess . , ,
like the way you may prefer coffee
with meals while I always prefer
a traditional glass of beer. Not
that I’d claim you’re wrong—re-
spect for the other man’s opinion
is my “guiding light.”
