LADIES AID
ANNUAL BAZAAR
The Ladies Aid annual bazaar was
held Tuesday evening at the school I
house, in spite of the bitter cold
and the snial crowd a good timetwas
reported. The weather was so severe
that only a few of the braver souls
ventured out, and only three or four
families came from the west end.
The East End and the town turned j
out en masse, however. It wasj
planned to run both buses but there
were so few of the west enders who I
evinced a willingness to so that it
was dcided it wouldn't be a paying
proposition.
There were several disappoint
ments, some of the leading characters
of the Baby Show refusing to partici
nate at the eleventh hour, but the lit
tle nurse and ihe biggest baby for
his size did their parts wi ll. "Bosco"
the snake eater was also in here.
The real makes which were ordered
did not arrive so at the last moment
some had to be Improvised. The Gyp
sy Fortune Teller was good, the cos
tume and make-up was excellent, and
the fortunes were all interesting.
Airs. King had charge of this.
A word or two about the zoo.
This concession was clever. A t ml
was erected and all the animal
placed in cages and people viewed
the bear, the spider, the stag, the
lion and other tame and ferocious
animals. The monkey was especially
interesting to many. Credit for Mn
feature is due Mrs. Gorham and net
assistants.
The country store was a popular
place. It was conducted by Mr.
(loodwin and many articles were sold

chance and everyone received full food consumed by farmers and their
value for the price paid. Some Very I families generally is not grown by
prettv things, some useful articles inemorinuieirimuieuiaiewc.iuiy.il
and some just for fun were found hi
this collection.
The fancy work booth was in
charge of Mrs. Hallenger and thers
was only one fault that could be
found with this feature and that was
the lack of articles on sale. Tli r
weren't half enuf things to sell. Sil-j
ing did not start till 6:30 but inside
of 15 minutes or half an hour every
thing was sold out completely. Arti
cles were sold at a reasonable price,
which is an unusual thing at a church I
sale, but the committee in charge
decided this year and asked people)
to mark things at cost of mater,. !
and to contribute their time as finan
cial conditions are stringent on li. -project.
Another criticism thai might be
made in regard to this part of the
bazaar is that no one thinks 01 the
bazaar during the year and just a
week or two before the bazaar is to
be given, the commit! solicits arti
cles and there is a mad rush to get
things completed before bazaar night
was shown, whereas it was estimated
that 7l) instead of 70 per cent of their
needs could be produced locally.
High freight rates, it was explain
ed, tend to reduce the prices farmers
receive for their products and increase
the tost to them for the things they
buy frcm outside localities.
