The money was raised and checks drawn for the girls. There is still a problem for the Jubilee committee to work out, and that is transportation for the girls to the fair and back. If any one is going on this trip and have room for one or both of the girls, they will do the committee a big favor if they would help. There should be several cars from the valley in the Cavemen caravan leaving Friday, June 16, as this will be one of the best ad vertising campaigns we could get. Get in touch with President Art Drews if you can take the girls or even one of them.
