SECTION ONE— Governor Urging Full Attendance At N. C. State Fair Biggest Annual Event In North Carolina Oc tober 20 to 24 Governor William B. Umstead has personally and officially extended an invitation for all North Carolinians and visitors from other states to par ticipate in the 1963 N. C. State Fair to be held October 20-24. “We are looking forward this year to the most colorful, entertaining, educational and useful State Fair in history,” the Gov ernor declared. This will be the first State Fair un der Governor Umstead’s administra tion, but he was a prominent figure on the Fairgrounds last year as he es corted his little daughter on the rides and around the exhibit halls. The Governor will have the leading role in the dedication of the new State Fair Arena at 12 o’clock noon on the open ing day of the Fair. In his invitation to enjoy the 1953 Fair, the chief executive said: “I commend it to you as a great ex position, worthy of your interest and attendance. Celebrating this year its 100th birthday (the first N. C. State Fair was held October 18-21, 1853), the Fair offers opportunities for en tertainment, relaxation, education and broadening of the cultural outlook. With the completion and full use this year of the new State Fair Arena, the judging and exhibition facilities will probably be unexcelled anywhere in the South. “The State Fair has proved its val ue during the past years,” he con tinued. “As many have discovered in the past, the Fair is more than a dis play of fruits and vegetables, live stock and machinery, manufactured goods and handicrafts. It is a unique educational and inspirational experi ence which leads to a greater appre ciation of the vast and varied scope of North Carolina’s agriculture, indus try, commerce, as well as our natural and human resources.” Finally, the Governor pointed out that, from the standpoint of attend ance and the number of participants, the Fair is the, biggest annual event held anywhere in North Carolina. PRESBYTERIAN SERVICES Services at the Presbyterian Church are announced as follows by the pas tor, the Rev. James MacKenzie: Sunday School at 10 o’clock Sun day morning. Morning worship at 11 o’clock with a sermon by the pastor. Boys’ Brigade meets Tuesday and Thursday at 7 P. M., with games, ac tivities, and a Christian emphasis for all boys who wish to attend.
