Fair Board Hopes To Complete Plans Monday Evening Several matters ■ of great im portance were discussed at the meeting of the fair board of di rectors at the town hall on June 18. Claude Betts, general chair man, presided. The next meeting will be on Monday, July 2, at which time the chairman and representatives of the various clubs will study the possibility of having another parade. At this meeting it is hoped that the exact date can be made, arrangements completed for a football game between Black Mountain and a strong opponent, a band booked for the parade, the theme for the fair selected, and asignment made for booths. Clubs and organizations plann ing to participate are asked to send representatives to the July 2 meeting. Each club or organiz tion appoints two members to re present the club and to serve on the board of directors.

Gary Carson, ag instructor at the Black Mountain High school, R. S. Neskaug, Swannanoa ag .teacher, and Emil Kirstein, Broad "River, have been asked to serve as co-chairmen of the agricultural exhibits.
