i STATE FAIR GIVF.S OPPORTUNITY
FOR EXPRESSING SPIRIT OF N. C.
CLINIC AT SYLVA
ON OCTOBER 20th
Through the Rotary Orthopaedic*
Clinic at Sylva. which meet* for the
second time on Saturday. October
20th. in the Methodist church, many
cripples of this section of the state
who have despaired of having their
deformities corrected arc being pro
vided w ith an opportunity to secure
treatment by an orthopaedic spec
ialist that wil lremove a part if not
all of their physical handicaps.
The Sylva Clinic is a link in the
chain of clinics established over the
; entire State of North Carolina by
j the State Department of \ ocatonal
I Rehabilitation for the purpose of
providing such treatment to all of
the indigent cripples of the state. No
one can estimate the value of this
, program, not only because to these
handicapped people themselves, but
j to the communities in which they
reside and the commonwealth as a
j whole.
Orthopaedic treatment is but the
first step in the program of the Re
habilitation Department. After the
physica (handicap has hcen removed
as far as possible, the Department
provides a course of vocational
training to fit the disabled party for
a vocation suited to an\ remaining
handicap, and then aid- him in se
curing suitable employment. Thus
lie is lilted for an active life of use
fulness. supporting himself and de
pendents, ami contributing t?? the
! production of his community. From
j a non-producer and a potential nien
idicant is evolved a happy, indepen
dent and useful citizen.

RALEIGH, N. C.. Oct. 19.? The
approaching North Carolina State
Fair here give? opportunity for ex
pressing the spirit of North .Caroli
na in an impressive manner and for
impressing: on other stales the true
greatness of this commonwealth, ac- |
cording to the opinion expressed bv ;
Governor A. Vv". McLean to officials ,
of the fair.
The fair, which opens Monday.
October 22, and continues through j
the entire week in the fine new plant j
provided by the State Government. ;
will be by far the greatest event of j
its kind ever held in this state, said :
W . S. Move, the secretary and mana
ger. 'Hie tremendous number of ex- '
hibits a 1 read) gives assurance that
the fair will attain in its fir-t show
ing a place of high importance 1
among the means of educating the
residents of this and other Mate
concerning diversity, abundance, and
quality of North Carolina products,
i Requests are coming in daily for en
Itry blanks, this is especiall> true as
| to the winners in many of the coun
ty lairs.
Almost unlimited evidence^ of co
l operation b\ t lie public in the pre
paration for this fair, which will be
housed in a plant provided b\ the
State Government at a cost of more
' than S200.000.00 are regarded by
lair officials as proof of the wisdom
I of the Legislature which created this
institution, and of a record atten
dance. it was said by fair officials.
The fair officials ha\e not confin
ed their efforts, however, to the pre- j
ipaation of a place for showing the
'exhibits and to encouraging the en- j
tering of exhibits} A great expense
lis incurred in arranging for a wide
variety of amusements, races, 'and
various other contests, all for the
purpose of encouraging attendance.]
That activity was part of the great
task of making the lair "an exposi
tion that will be both educational
and entertaining.*' The program of
horse races is one of the fair's most
important offerings of interest to
the public. A series of automobile
races on opening and closing days
of the fair is expected to attract tre
mendous gatherings of persons who
do not often have an opportunity to
see daring drivers in action. Inci
dental to the fair's program are a
horse show, fireworks, cattle show,
swine show, sheep show, poultry
show, and exhibitions and demon
strations of farm machinery.
A particular effort, because of the
educational value, is being made to
arouse the interest of the members
of the boys' and girls* 8 clubs in the
fair. They will have many exhibits
which will have a strong influence
for the improvement in agricultural
conditions in North Carolina.
W ith the view of providing the ut
most of service to stock raisers, the
fair management has decided to hold
r. livestock auction, with the co-op
eration of the Division of Markets
of the North Carolina Department
of Agriculture.
Because of the great crowds of the
leading people who will attend the
fair Raleigh society lias planned for
many entertainments and brilliant
social events. The State's leading
citizens will be in attendance at all
of these events while at the fair.
All of the railways have offered
reduced fares during the fair and
will operate on excursion rates for
one day. The Stale's good roads
make it possible for those driving
their own cars to attend one day's
events and return home the same
day if they ?.re within 100 to 200
miles, and from all parts of the state
they can attend the fair with little |
loss of time from home.
All school children in the state
arc urged to attend and it is believed
by the officials that this will be a
worth-while educational event for
them. I
Forty farmers of Person County
recently visited Alamance to study
the dairy industry of that county.
