Electric Co-Op To
Hold Annual Meeting
In Edna July 15
Something brand new will be
presented in this area when the
Jackson Electric Cooperative holds
its first combined Annual meeting
and Electric Fair at the Fair
Grounds in Edna July 15.
Besides the regular business ses-
sion, there will be an all-day pro-
gram of entertainment and elec-
tric appliance displays, plus prizes
to be given away.
Headlining the Electric Fair will
be the amateur talent contest,
which is sponsored by a major
appliance on a state-wide basis.
The local winner will receive a
radio and a chance at a more
valuable prize to be awarded to a
state winner later this summer.
Capping the entertainment and
fun throughout the day will be a
veteran circus clown, Bozo the
Great, who has been clowning his
way into the hearts of kids—from
six to sixty—for 40 years. With
him on the program is Madame
Ray, who puts- her educated pets,
both dogs and monkeys, through
some amazing paces.
The musical side of things is
nicely taken care of by Dottie
Carlson, western song specialist,
and her guitar-playing partner,
Clyde Arnold.
The amateur talent contest and
the exhibits of electrical and farm
equipment will be on tap during
the morning, with the program
opening at 10 a.m. and. features
of the afternoon are the. business

tendance prizes.
