The committee met on March 13
j and set the fair dates for Septem-

On March 20 Carl Baumgartner,
Leerie Giese and Harry Nelson
made a tour of the fair grounds
in Wharton,, Fort Bend and Fay-
ette counties in order to get some
ideas for the type of facilities that
should be built at Refugio for the
1947 fair. On March 24 the fair
committee met and decided that
the essential facilities for 1947
would be exhibit building 60x120,
horse barn, livestock barn and poul
try shed.
The committee will meet with the
Commissioner’s Court on April 14
to solicit the cooperation of the
Commissioner’s Court in financing
the construction of these buildings.
A ground committee was named to
secure a plot of about 40 acres for
location of fair grounds.
Part Of Softball
Diamond Is Sold
A quarter block of land, which
as a part of the local lighted soft-
ball diamond, was sold last week
and it may be necessary to remove
the diamond before the close of the
1947 season.
It is understood the new owners
will erect dwellings on the proper-
ty, but have extended the softball
association the use of the land
until it is actually needed. The plot
of land sold is in the center field
section of the diamond.

RODEO ADDED
TO FIESTA
San Antonio.—Two big new ev-
ents have been added to the Fiesta
de San Jacinto here in April—an
all-western parade and a five-day
rodeo. The Fiesta opens April 21
and runs through April 26.
The all-western parade and the
rodeo both are sponsored by the
San Antonio Junior Chamber of
Commerce, which, for the first time,
has joined the participating organi-
zations in the week’s activities.
The all-western procession brings
to three the number of fiesta pa-
rades and will take place on Tues-
day afternoon, April 22.
The others will be the trades dis-
play parade on Wednesday and the
famed Battle of Flowers on Friday
afternoon. Because of the added
feature, the usual western section
will be omitted from the Battle of
Flowers parade and all such entries
listed for the Tuesday afternoon
event.
Western parade entries should
be addressed to the Junior Chamber
of Commerce, Gunter Building, San
Antonio.

From where I sit .Joe Marsh
And That Ain't Hay
-Or is It?
I guess all of us secretly hanker,
from time to time, for the good
old days and the good old-
fashioned pleasures. Leastways,
Buddy Richards done a thriving
business reviving the old-time
hayride.
With a team of horses, and a
stout straw-bedded rack, Buddy
can take as many as thirty adults
—at fifty cents a head!
Two or three times a week they
start from Town Hall, and go out
along the river; stop for a friendly
glass of beer at Shoreside Tavern;
and come home by way of Pound
Ridge . . . nine miles in all.
Not very exciting, you might
say. But from where I sit it’s not
excitement that we need these
days—but those simple country
pleasures that are part and parcel
of America—the old-fashioned
hayride, with its song and jollity;
the horseshoe games; the friendly
glass of beer; and the good com-
panionship that they engender.
