The goals of the art fair have'been to encourage artists of the county to exhibit their works annually and also to stimulate interest of the' general ^pttblic who wish to purc h a s e p o i n t i n g s , d r a w i n g s , soilpture and prints. ™ Sale Contributions The woman's auxiliary owes a debt of gratitude to the eighty to ninety-five artists who -each year have contrib-. uted 15 per cent of their total sales to the auxiliary plus many paintings to the art auction. The auxiliary uses the income received from artists and admissions for the purchase of ,(Shipment for the hospital. Purchase awards have been made by organizations or firms who allot a sum of money to purchase a painting or piece of art work.

(Illimil ?lCT0ff£ TALK' By Henry Heise of Bolgers Drug Store OSCARS, HOMETOWN STYLE In a few weeks now, actors and technicians in Hollywood will sit down in a big theatre for the annual Academy Awards. Most home movie hobbyists wouldn't even care to compete in that league. But can award yourself a menfM "Oscar" every time you show movies that are really fun to watch. How do you get this kind of audience - pleasing perfection? Part of the secret is in the filming, to be sure, but a goodly part is in the way your film is shown. You want the projector to do such a good job people hardly realize it's ^Jkre. Which happens, if your projector happens to be a Brownie 8 Movife Projector, Model A15. The" projector's chief claim to fame is the fact that it threads itself automatically right onto the take-up reel,-- relieves you completely of most movie set-up chores. But there's much more. The Bapwnie A15 also gives you insrant one-switch control of forward projection, rewind and illumination. And speaking of illumination, who wants to look at dim, hard-to-see images? Nobody. So the Kodak people put a brand new extrabright projection lamp with built-in reflector into the Brownie 8. Gives bright, sharp pictures up to 4 feet wide. No *^ort - subject" programs either. There's a generous 15 minutes on every 200-foot reel you use. But the biggest award of all goes to the cost -- $54.50. Which makes this Brownie 8 Movie Projector a DeMille-size value at newsreel price. Let me give you a demonstration one day soon. m C OF C PLEDGES GREAT EFFORT FOR EVENTS IN FUTURE BOY SCOUTS > (Continued from Page 1) with Charles Smith presiding.

This was an impressive event and no doubt was enjoyed by all present.

The sponsoring, institution of the troop, the American Ler gion, has donated new flags and flag stands which will be dedicated at the next court of honor, and we hope that the attendance will be a Jarge one to witness this remarkable affair.
