tion is made that the Woman's
Club solicits contributions of ap
rons, other articles of sewing
craft, candies, cookies, and other
delicacies for sale at the bazaar.
Officials of thte Woman's Club,
headed by Mrs. George Houser,
president, are anticipating a rep
resentative showing at the "Au
tumn Harvest" event, which an
nually attracts visitors from all
over the Piedmont Carolinas.
Though dry wtather is expected
to materially cut the entries In
the long-popular horticulture di
vision, Mrs. HoUser said the a
vallability of flowers by .local
exhibitors Is greater than might
be expected.
Particular attention will be de
voted to flower arranging, which
this year appears as Division I.
The format of the one-day e
vent follows that of former
shows, with dinner to be served
by the Woman's Club both at
noon and in the evening.

show," Mrs. Houser said, "and
the Woman's Club cordially in
vites the citizens of Kings Moun
tain to exhibit at the event and
to visit the show, both lor. the
displays, and for a good dinner."
