PAGE TEN Nearly All Exh ibition Space Taken for Cambria Co. Fair Horse Races Scheduled For Four Afternoons Exhibits of industrial and com- mercial products at the Cambria County Fair, which opens at the Ebensburg Fairgrounds, Labor Day, Sept. 5 and continues thr- oughout the week, will far ex- ceed those of past fairs, John P. Bloom, in charge of space de- clares. “Practically all the space in the three exhibition buildings has been taken, Mr. Bloom said. “There is on doubt that when the fair opens that all spaces will have been filled. There will be a myriad of products at this year’s fair, ranging from the giant steel products of Johnstown Works, Bethlehem Steel Company down to the smallest of items.” “The exhibits of industrial and commercial products at the fair have in the past been a great source of interest to thousands of fair visitors. They have served to give fair visitors an idea of the industrial and commercial light of Cambria and nearby counties. The exhibits, Mr. Bloom assert- ed, together with the livestock, agricultural and entertainment features will combine to make this year's fair, the greatest ever held at the Ebensburg grounds. In addition there will be harness and running races on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday during fair week. Prizes totalling $4,400 will be offered, James A. Wilkinson, President of the fair association and race secretary announced. Joe McGraw, famous starter of Washington, Pa., will serve in a similar capacity this year. Feature attraction in the arena every night will be Frank Wirth's “Swing out the News,” a musical comedy production which critics have hailed as the best ever pro- duced by Mr. Wirth. The latter has won an enviable reputation for staging high class productions at the Cambria County Fair. The show is made up of variety of attractions, some of which have appealed to fairgoers at past events. Many acts of the show will also be seen every afternoon in front of the grandstand in addition to the races and other attractions.

The loss, estimated at $4,- 000, is partly covered by insur- ance. Seven year old Jimmy Wood- ring, who lives near the Harding home, discovered the firt ab- out 8:45 a. m. and notified his mother, who roused Mrs. Harding and her two young sons from sleep. The Harding family man- aged to leave the house just be- fore the entire interior burst in- to flames. Mr. Harding had left earlier for work. The fire apparently began from a gas stove in the kitchen of the three-room home. Because of the headway made by the flames, the firemen were able to salvage only the roof and walls. Furniture in the home was destroyed. Ebensburg Woman ‘Has 90th Birthday Mrs. Annie Jones of Ebensburg marked her 90th birthday Sun- day.
