Club’ s Promotion Brought Widespread Response from the Community. By Alice, The Victory Harvest Show held last week by the Garden Study Club was an outstanding display of vege- tables, flowers and canned goods, from the Victory Gardens in Pattor and vicinity. The move early last spring, “Food for Victory,” was tak- en seriously in Patton as the exhibits proved that gardening was “all out” this summer. The window of the C. F. Pitt Co. would not begin to display the many exhibits, whereas, the store room was taken over with tables and stands and many displave placed on | the floor. The Garden Study Citb was very grateful for the use of the store room and window and they take this method of thanking the management. The canned goods exhibited at the canned by 22 members of the club reporting their lists. The Garden Study Club is an organization of only | a few members and in sponsoring the | Victory Harvest Show it was decided ¢ to open entries to any gardener or | farmer in Patton. Many exhibits were made by non-members, which was greatly appreciated as it proved that Patton gardeners can have an annual fall show equal to exhibits at the reg- ular Fairs but on a small scale. The following persons made entries at the { Harvest show, in addition to the reg- ular members: Cross Roads School—Flowers; Mrs. Kathleen Ryan, teacher. Mrs. A. €C. Huber, arrangement; A. J. Karlheim, vegetable arrangement, zinias; Mr. Lovell, sweet potatoes, carrots and house flowers; Mr. Cum- Berne canned carrots and PEppErs; “hig wen % di out 1 & WO) y
