No Substitute
Found For Annual
Community Fair
' Lacking ideas for a commun-
ity activity to replace the Bart-
Fett Community Fair directors
of the Fair Association and of
the Chamber of Commerce end-
ed a lengthy meeting Tuesday
night without finding a substi-
tute that they thought would
be successful.
Unless a good idea evolves
from the regular meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce next
Tuesday night it appears now
that there will be neither a fair
nor a community activity of any
kind this fall.
Fair directors had already
reached the conclusion that
there was not sufficient com-
munity interest to stage a suc-
cessful fair but favored some
sort of community activity. The
meeting Tuesday with Chamber
of Commerce directors was cal-
led for the purpose of finding
a suitable activity.
Ideas presented and discussed
were a harvest festival a
Christmas parade and party
during the first week in De-
cember a trades day some sort
of public drawing and a home-
coming. None of the ideas re-
ceived sufficient suport to make
them a good substitute for the
postponed fair.
In their regular monthly bus-
iness meeting Chamber of Com-
merce directors took action to
provide door prizes at future
meetings to 'encourage increas-
ed attendance.
Premiums for the first bale
of cotton each year were dis-
cussed and the problem of
working out a plan acceptable to
local merchants was referred to
the agriculture committee.
H. M. Keith expressed appre-
ciation for the dinner provided
the Bartlett Electric Coopera-
tive on the occasion of its an-
nual meeting.
