Thursday, December 25, 1947 That's Not My Mother!! COLUMBUS, O.—Ohio's pretty Dairy Queen, 24-year-old Evelyn Priddy of Pickerington, knows from experience that the old adage about leading a horse to water applies to a calf, too, even though the plaster cow in the background offers real grade A pasteurized milk. The synthetic cow, used in the demonstration of modern milking machines, only served to frighten the calf, who apparently preferred its own flesh-and-blood mother.

Olive Cub Scouts Make Drive For Navajo Indians At a recent meeting of Cub Scout Pack No. 178 of Olive at the C. R. Pefley home, collections were completed for relief of the Navajo Indians. During the afternoon meeting, snapshots were taken of the group as they packed boxes of warm clothing, shoes, medicinal supplies and food. Completing their task, the boys, with their den mothers went Christmas caroling, calling on several neighbors. At each home the Cubs were introduced by Jimmie Payan and the host was presented with a Cub-made greeting card, the presentation being made by C. R. Pefley II. Returning, the balance of the afternoon was spent in popping corn while enjoying glowing logs in the fireplace. About the rooms were boughs of cedar, red carnations, pyracantha and various figurines, many of which were made during previous Cub meetings. Refreshments of decorated Christmas cookies and punch were served by Mrs. Royer C. Payan and Mrs. Clarence R. Pefley assisted by den chief Duane B. Pefley. Paper napkins and paper plates with Christmas motifs were designed and decorated by C. R. Pefley II, who recently was compelled to spend several days at home because of illness. A long lace-covered dining table with a silvered decorated tree as centerpiece was surrounded by small aquariums, complete with colored stones, water plants and goldfish, a gift of the den mothers to each Cub present. The aquariums were tied with red satin ribbon and pyracantha berries. In a tiny sleigh drawn by reindeer, each boy found a small envelope containing food for his pet. The big surprise of the afternoon came when a huge calendar arrived at the postoffice specially for Cub Pack No. 178, which was a beautiful Boy Scouts of America picture and presented through the courtesy of Arthur (Bud) Paschall, Olive's own volunteer fire-chief.

Best wishes for Christmas and the year ahead RANZONA'S 166 West Center Street State Fair Can Expect No Site Improvements (Western News Service) Despite the fact the state legislature has made available $2,000,-100 for the purchase of a new state fair site, and $3,500,000 to launch a building program, California will continue to have a mediocre state fair for the next four or five years and possibly longer. This was indicated following budget hearings in the State Department of Finance on next year's allocations for the fair. Surveys to determine the best location for a fair site in 1946 one choice narrowing down from 4 to 3, yet the state property acquisition board, charged with the purchase of the site, has taken no action toward acquiring it. In fact, one member of the acquisition board indicated there is little likelihood of the fair being held on a new site during the tenure of office of any of the present directors, while a legislator interested in progress of the fair, said that unless the board gets busy, it may be ten years before the first class fair will be held. And, while the board's failure to act drew considerable criticism, those in charge examining department budgets, dealt a death blow to any hope that next year's fair will improve over that of the 1947 exhibition. Fair directors had asked for an appropriation exceeding expected revenue, but they were ordered to prepare a new budget cause of this situation grounds must be rearranged; 2. Directors desire to replace antiquated exit gates with more modern equipment, a bottleneck last year to crowds leaving the grounds; 3. Because of the record crowds at the last fair, congestion at certain points must be ended by shifting facilities, and 4. Directors desire to improve entertainment over that of this year, presenting an evenly balanced program on all days of the fair. The army left the fair grounds in bad shape and directors were forced to use large sums from the budget to make repairs, unforeseen when the budget was first submitted. This money, many contend, should be credited to the fair when the federal government pays for the damage. The freezing of allotments for horse racing at $125,000 has also come in for criticism, critics pointing out that Galt is allowed $75,000 for four days of racing. Pari-mutuels return the best profits- and play a vital part in making a fair self-supporting, it is said, and no fair can show profit without horse racing. With the budget limited to the figure planned this year, California can look forward to a fair of about the same quality as that of this year, when next September rolls around. Rising costs will make retrenchment necessary and quality is bound to suffer, four officials admit.
