Mrs. Mabel H . Chadwick was re
elected secretary of the county fair
board Saturday despite a fire of
criticism from C. S. Calef, director

M iller to the execqjive board.
Calef threw bis bombshell Into a
previously tranquil meeting right at
the end of the proceedings as E U.
Lee, president, was ready to ad
journ the session. He attacked the
present method of county fa ir ad
m inistration and urged adoption of
the plan advanced by the state as
sociation which would take much of
the power out of the hands of the
secretary. Under the new system
the fa ir would be under the direct
supervision of four members of the
executive board, who would be
placed under bond and be respon
sible to the county court.
Earlier In the meeting Mr. Calef
had succeeded in getting the m at
ter of adopting the new system re
ferred to the county court for study.
The court will report at the next
board meeting.
Calef prefaced his attack with
the statement that no member of
the fair board knew Just how the
funds were administered, and said
that he had looked into the rec
ords of the county and of the sec
retary and found things the board
should have been informed about.

When a group functions as an
harmonious and perfect whole it is
difficu lt to choose any one charac
ter or feature as outstanding. Such
was the case with the Junior class
play, “Tommy," presented last F ri
day n ig h t I t scored a decided hit
w ith a large audience. Each por
trayed his role, whether minor or
lead, in a capable manner.
Members of the cast were ex
ceptionally well suited to their
parts The play itself was of a type
easily handled by amateur players
and was filled with catchy lines,
amusing situations and quick ac
tion.
The cast, the type of play and
the capable direction of Miss Earlel
Lee G ilb e rt coach, combined to
make "Tommy" an outstanding
high school production.
The story of the play is that of
the thorns that beset the path of
love's young dream. Overanxious
parents, played by H a rrie t Wise
man and Lawrence Kent, try to force
their daughter Marie, played by
Madelle Beidler, to m arry Tommy
Mille 'M elvin Breese). Such paren
tal urgency makes Marie encourage
Bernard (K a rl Thomason). Marie's
uncle, David Tuttle (Dayton C lark),
seeks to keep Tommy in the run
ning and realizing the value of op
position in bringing desired results,
starts to belittle Tommy, bringing
Marie to the boy's defense. The
fact that both Tommy and M arie’s
father have land for a municipal
golf course further complicates the
situation. Tuttle, who is political
boss of the town, with the aid of
his henchman. Judge Wilson (Ettael-
bert Craw ford), straightens out
this tangle and Tommy finally wins
Marie. Mrs. Wilson (Ruth Olson)
and W illie Wilson (o ff - stage),
played by Orval E tter, contribute to
the interest of the play
