SIDELIGHT
One of the many interesting sidelights of the
Festival centered around a prize-winning jar of
bread and butter pickles. Margaret Ann DeBord,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Horace DeBord, is nat
urally not an experienced cook at her age, but
she tried her hand with a jar of pickles. It was
the first she had ever canned, and in true story
book fashion, the pickles took first place in that
classification.
The cafeteria on Harvest Festival day is arrayed with beautiful flowers,
appetizing canned goods, and other tempting things. Everyone enjoys the dis
plays.
