An Apology
The rush in issuing this edition
prevented the Gazette Times from
contacting all local business firms,
and apology is extended all those
not contacted, among whom we
realize there are many who will
be disappointed in not being given
an opportunity to extend a mes
sage of greeting in this manner.

Local Folks Cooperate
In Staging Convention

president, as general chairman.
He named his co-workers on the
general committee who included
Ralph Thompson, president Mor
row County Wool and Lamb club ;
Mrs. J. J. Wightman, chairman
Morrow county woolgrowers aux
iliary; Mrs. Lucy E. Rodgers, C.
B. Cox, C. J. D. Bauman and

The general committee named
special committee heads as fol
lows: Banquet, Harold Cohn; re
ception, D. A. Wilson; finance, E.
L. Morton; courtesy, R. C. Phelps;
housing, F. W. Turner; publicity,
Jap Crawford and Josephine Ma
honey. There were many helpers
on the various committees, and
wholehearted support was receiv

The general committee budget
ed all expenses and made every
effort to provide high quality en
tertainment at low cost to the vis
itors. The city is indebted to
many kind friends outside its bor
ders in making this possible, in
cluding entertainment talent and
others who have generously co
operated. Local w o o 1 m e n contributed
largely to the staging of the free
banquet, to be given in the same
spirit that would be accorded
friends and neighbors in their own
home.
In every sense the general com
