In summing up the outlook
for the 1968 fair, Mrs. Smith
said that it has drawn "lots of
advance interest" and the pub
lic has responded to notices in
Ihe paper about different events.
The fact of an earlier harvest
should contribute to a bigger
and hotter event.
"We hope that entries in all
classes will be increased," she
said.

afternoon performances Satur

items. Since 1938, the grading
standards have also been revis
ed to include modern concepts of

tal of 3,097 deficiency points.
The recent grading is 3,381

More Americans than ever before are spend
ing their summer exploring the wonders nature
has bestowed on this continent.
And whether it's the vast Pacific Northwest,
the great Tennessee Valley area, Everglades Na
tional Forest or one of the smaller parks or forests
in between, thousands of America's vacation spots
-are made safer and more enjoyable because of the
availability of electricity supplied by America's
consumer-owned rural electric systems.
Rural electrics serve in 2700 of the nation's
3100 counties, in the sparsely settled areas away
from the population centers. As a result of this
electric service, most established camping grounds
now have well-lighted facilities and running water.
Rural stores keep their food cold and fresh with
electric refrigeration. Electric heaters take the
early morning chill out of mountain-top cabins,
and air-conditioned motels along the way help
freshen weary travelers.
And in case of emergency, small hospitals or
infirmaries and doctors' offices, supplied with
dependable electric power from rural electrics,
stand ready to serve.
Built with the help of loans from the Rural
Electrification Administration, rural electrics are
doing their part to provide city people with safe
and comfortable rest and relaxation in the country
sideand everybody benefits.
Rural electrics heartily support our govern
ment's efforts to beautify America and encourage
travel in the United States. When you see a rural
electric co-op this summer, stop in for a visit.
You'll find friendly people who know the area and
are ready to be helpful.
