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. '

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.
Many other outstanding ex
hibits by both commercial and
non-profit organizations are
planned. t

i Manhattan Beach hotel. This
i marks their return to the j
j valley and the first of many i
j major shows which they have j

Firsts in Fair ,
Among the many firsts
which the county fair will

liminary Miss America pag
eant in the area. It was ar
ranged under the sponsorship
of the Medford Junior Cham
