interest in her proposal as typical for any new idea people don I like change or to look to the future I t expect people to be thrilled with my idea She retailed early in this century there was one fair which alternated between Georgetown and Ac ton and now that it is all one town Hills the idea makes sense We arc all one town we should have a community fair Mrs suggests there may be too many fairs in this area and while Acton has an excellent fair she fceJs he Georgetown Fairgrounds and track offer advantages over Prospect Park Besides the merger idea which she says nobody on the
