Local Club Spends $5,000 on Projects During Past Year A statement from officers of the Kiwanis club indicated that more than $5,000 was expended by the club on char itable and educational proj ects last year. It was pointed out that in crder to supply the funds for the projects it is necessary to conduct money-raising events each year. Only those events which offer the public full value for their invested money are considered. This year, the board of di rectors have added the County Fair to the roster of such events. It 'was preceded by last year's Town and Country Show and it is anticipated that the event will be continued and expanded each year. Earmarked For Projects All of the money raised as a result of the County Fair will be earmarked for projects which include work with the underprivileged children; sup port of the local dental clinic; Boy Scout and Girl Scout work; educational assistance to youth; contribution to Ki wanis Foundation and civic activities such as renovation of Maple Grove Park south of Medford; annual Easter Egg Hunt and Medford Safety Council assistance. Bill Singler, president of the club said every effort was being made to make the Coun ty Fair a truly community event, worthy of the support of every segment of the popu lation. The County Fair, staged the same week as the 4H-FFA Fair, opens Thursday at 5:30 p.m., Aug. 21, and will. con clude Sunday evening, Aug. 24. Admission charges of 50 cents for adults and 25 cents for students has been estab lish. Pre-school children will be admitted free. The admis sion will include all stage pre sentations in the Armory and other events scheduled, spokesmen said. Monterey Boats Bring in Sardines Monterey, Calif (UPD Can nery Row hummed today for the first time in six years with the return of sardines to Monterey bay. A dozen boats, about one third of a fleet that once num bered more than 100, brought in 450 tons of sardines Mon day. Some 700 persons went to work processing the catch in Cannery Row's five re maining plants. In the 1940's, the sardine canning industry was a 20 million dollar a year business and employed thousands of workers in a score of can neries. Canneries then pro cessed 4.000 to 9,000 tons of fish a day. Whether the sardines would stay in the waters off Mon terey could not be foretold. J. B. Phillips, marine bi ologist with the Hopkins Ma rine station, said local waters "have been warming up in re cent years. He said it could mean the beginning of a warm-water cycle in which sardines flourish. ' See the 4-H and F.F.A. FAR TONIGHT THRU SATURDAY Fairgrounds Admission FREE Deaver Tractor AND IMPLEMENT COMPANY "Your Ford Tractor Dealer Since 1941" 634 North Central Phone SP 2-6425 Products of Area To Be Displayed At Local Armory By RUSS JAMISON County Fair Manager After an absence of more than 20 years, the county fair will once more grace the scene in Jackson county under the sponsorship of the Medford Kiwanis club. The service club will use any proceeds from the ven ture to support the free dental clinic which it sponsors in Jackson county as well .' as many other projects with un derprivileged children in the area. Although it lacks the offic ial sponsorship and backing usually associated with a county fair function, it never theless carries the support of the numerous home extension groups, farm organizations and service clubs in the area who see in the restoration of the county fair a return of a community spirit which has been lacking for many years. Opportunity for Display Giving, as it does, the op portunity for display of the produce and products of Jack son county it has fanned the enthusiasm of many oldtimers in the county who remember the county fairs, and has sparked interest in the new comers to the area who expect a county fair. The fair, which officially opens Thursday evening at 5:30 o'clock, will feature most of the events usually associ ated with the county fair, but in many cases tailored to fit the interest of the area. In cluded in the individual ex hibitors section will be open classes in the following de partments and divisions: food, textiles, -floral, both amateur and professional, and land products. Russ Renner, chairman of the exhibits committee, has enlisted the help of Miss Mary Pat Lucy, home demonstra tion agent, indeveloping the food and textiles sections. The floral section will be under the general supervision of Mrs. R. T. Nichol, director of the Siskiyou district of the' Gar den clubs . and managed by Mrs. A. C. Lewis of Medford who will assist in the arrange ments for judges and registering-General Arrangements In the land products section, Delmar Smith, pf Pomona Grange, the man responsible for the Jackson county ex hibit at the Oregon State fair, will be in charge of general arrangements. He will be ad vised by Harold White of the Southern Oregon Branch Ex periment station. Special displays at the fair will include a research project by White in cooperation with Oregon State college. In addi tion there will be a, Terrier missile, courtesy of the Navy Recruiting station in Medford.
