College Station, Texas, Oct.
of Center yesterday and no one
envied him his good fortune.
Perhaps the greatest single
element brought out by the
fair, and one not fully appreci-
Shoffner’s automobile when it ated by many people, was the
loyalty and grit displayed by
the small army of volunteer
workers who braved w^nd,
rain and cold to sell tickets,
watch concessions, superintend
parking and play general util-
ity roles whicht were far from
pleasant in the chill night air.
To these loyal workers the
fair officials are preparing a
personal message of thanks
but the News has been asked to
state here that every man, wo-
man and child who helped in
any way to put the fair over
has won the eternal gratitude
of those in charge.
This morning President For-
ney Parker, Secretary William
Lawson and Treasurer’ Guy
Cowser personally appeared
before the editor of this paper
and asked that a message of
thanks be published at once ex-
pressing appreciation for the
loyalty and sacrifice on the
part of all who helped in the
parade, the Pageant, the wed-
ding, the exhibitions and every
part of the vast exposition.
