They then listened to a few words The week beginning September 23 was Fair Week. Wednesday was Salem day and Chemawa helped to break the record for attendance on that day. We left early in the morning on the Southern Pacific and returned after supper. Our lunches for both dinner and supper were taken down on the truck so we had nothing to do but have a good time all day. Of course we went to our exhibit first and we were proud of every bit of it. The outside of our booths were tastefully made to look like a real old mission building and the ivy climbing the walls and bright flowers blooming in every corner helped to give them a permanent look. The art booth was just crowded full of beautiful embroideries, delicate crocheting arid dainty needle work of all kinds. The “ Better Indian Babies” booth was the center of much well-deserved attention. The domestic science girls in their white dresses and caps bearing the red C.I.S. monograms gave demonsrtations of various war foods to enthusiastic audiences. The farm and garden display was fine and reassuring as a sign of winter provision. A selected exhibit of academic work covered the walls of the booth which had as a central display our case full of trophies. All of the space occupied in former years by the Oregon Indian schools outside of Salem was fitted up as a rest room and was in constant use. A central white-draped booth showed Old Glory sup ported by the great Chemawa Service Flag. The Fair was thoroughly appreciated by Chemawa and was visited in detail from the Liberty Sandwich Man to the big tractors doing the work of 40 horses. It was a great day. W ELC O M E TO C H E M A W A In September, under the chaperonage of Mrs. Can- field, there arrived at Chemawa thirteen girls from Carlisle. On the following day, with Mrs. McDowell, came thirteen boys from the same place. The Chemawa students knew that these young peo ple were coming under unusual conditions. Their school home had been given up to our country’s war need. This giving up of their loved school was a most trying “ bit,” but the sacrifice was gladly made. So Chemawa students were prepared to do all in their power to ease the homesickness. Committees of boys and girls showed the new pupils about the place and tried to help them get started and feel at home. It was soon evident that the Carlisle boys and girls were not to be outdone in friendliness and as a result we have been made truly glad to welcome to Chemawa the following boys and girls from our sister school: Elsie Lawrence, Dorcas Minthorne, Hattie Cayton, Alice Cayton, Helen Kipp, Cecilia Trombley, Eleanor Hank, Isabelle Lavadore, Daisy Hall, Mary Morgan, Josephine Corbette, Eva Dewbray, Rhoda Cadotto, Charles Ell, William Saunderville, William Marks, Eneas Hines, Joseph Racene, Jack Vielle, James Vielle, Dan Lawrence, Moses Jackson, Albert Spear- son, George Thomas, James Choate, Louis Trombley.
