(OWL LAFES The Low Down
From Hickory Grove York Fair
Oct. 105 |
Just about everybody seems to
have a cure for the youth problems.
And when you inquire around you
will find half of those who are
worrying about our young folks
‘are gallivanting around the coun-
try—and are creating a youth
problem in their own bailiwick, by
neglecting their own off-spring.
So far as I can see, there is no
youth problem that requires any
mama or papa to go up and down
the country on a lecture tour. By
staying home and keeping a
weather-eye on activities there,
they would solve the whole prob-
lem. But some people like to lec-
ture. They are the problem versus
the youth.

roads and permanent buildings in-
cluding a great modern steel and
concrete grandstand make this in
many respects an all-weather fair.
Among the exhibits this year may
be anticipated as usual the greatest
apple show in the country. No-
where else are apples of as fine
color and flavor produced and this
has been a banner apple year in the
York area, The cattle display will
be exceptional, as the pick of royal
herds assembling for the National
Dairy Show in Harrisburg will pay
York a preliminary visit. The exhibi’
of agricultural implements will be
the largest to be seen at any Eastern
fair.
Grandstand attractions this year
include a nightly all-girl Broadway
Revue and the pick of American and
European circus acts. Strate’s Car-
nival Company will present 25 car-
loads of shows and rides on the
mammoth midway. There will be
a daily balloon ascension with par-
chutists shot from a cannon and a
nightly display of fire works with
a patriotic theme.
The program of horse racing on
the fastest half-mile track in the
country includes events with some
of the fastest steppers in harness
competing for attractive purses and
for special cups. There will also be
daily running races.
Saturday, October 35, will be
“Thrill Day” on which occasion the
regular daily attractions will be
supplemented by a double-barreled
cpecial program including the Penn-
sylvania State Police Rodeo and the
Jimmy Lynch Death Dodgers in
automobile dare deviltries.
An intensely interesting exhibit
at York Inter-State Fair at York
Fennsylvania, October 1234 and 5
will be Railroads on Parade. This
will be a display of ultra-modern
rail and bus transportation equip-
ment which all visitors to the fair
may view close range without
charge.
Special attractions at York Inter-
State Fair this year included a re-
vival of the popular balloon as-
censions of the fairs of long ago.
Many youthful visitors to moderr
fairs have never seen a balloon as-
cension. In the modernized version a
pretty girl parachutist will be sho!
from a cannon suspended from the
balloon.
On the big Midway Zacchini, a
former thrill performer of Ringling
Brothers circus, will be shot from a
cannon at terrific speed over two
towering ferris wheels.

Slums of Smaller Cities
Face ‘Clean-Up’ Program
Awakening of smaller communi
ties to realization that slums exist
in their midst as well as in the
larger cities is evidenced by their
increasing participation in the USHA
low-rent housing program, accord-
' ing to Nathan Straus, administrator
of the United States Housing author-
ity.
Twenty-eight cities and towns with
populations of approximately 10,000
or less already have organized local
housing authorities for co-operation
with the USHA, Straus has an-
nounced. Seven of these communi-
ties have obtained commitments for |
USHA loans to finance 10 propesed |
projects. Two, including one with
less than 2,500 population,
started construction of their proj-
ects, while three others have had
USHA loan contracts approved by
President Roosevelt.
“When the United States housing
act was before congress two years
ago,” said Straus, ‘it was gener:
ly believed that the large cities
would be the principal beneficiaries.
Few small cities and towns had be-
gun seriously to lock into their hous-
ing problem.
“Today the picturc is

munities have organized active hous-
ing authorities. In most ce
these local authorities have the ar-

ments and of local business, trades
