But the county fair is now changing to keep up with the modern Am erican way of life and commun ity fair booths should reflect this trend, according to a new bulle tin released by the Oregon State college extension service. The number of farmers has de creased through the years, and many communities have turned to trades other than agriculture, the bulletin points out. Contin uing its traditional role as a "show-window" for communities, ' the fair now tells the story of forestry, manufacturing, recreat-; ion, and many other enterprises as well as agriculture. Written to help individuals, clubs, . organizations tell the story of their community most successfully, the new bulletin suggests a step-by-step method of planning a community booth. Determining who will see the booth, what it is to say, selection of a theme, and sketching a plan are discussed. The bulletin also lists attract iveness, story-telling ability, and simplicity as keys to good booth design. How to develop a center of Interest, use of color, and ways to keep the booth balanced yet simple are discussed with the use of colored illustrations. Informat tion is given on maferials that can be used in building a booth. Titled, "Planning a Community Fair Booth," the bulletin was pre pared by Dwight Fairbanks and Curtis Reid, OSC extension visual instruction specialists, in cooper ation with the extension staffs at the State College of Washing ton and the University of Idaho. Oregon residents can get a co py of the new bulletin at their local county extension office.
