Scouts Show Crafts-
manship in West Fair
THE WEST NEWS NOVEMBER 13. 1931.
Volume 42—No. £4
Showing the people of West that
they really know something about
handicraft, the local troop of the Boy
Scouts of America received much
favorable comment on their booth at
the Community Fair here last week-
end. The boys have been using their
knowledge of craftsmanship and oc-
cupying their spare time to produce
such work as they showed at the Fair,
and are to be congratulated on the
proficiency reached.
Following is an article taken from
“Bugle Blasts." the official publics
tion of the Heart O’ Texas Council:
"Troop 8 of West recently modelled
a Boy Scout booth that was just as
attractive a* the volunteer service*
rendered to the community by them.
“The booth, which caught the eye
of (’Has. Y. Meyers, Field Executive,
was at the Wbst District Fair and
wa« chuck full of beadwork, includ
iug belt*, necklaces, etc., stamped
leather belts, plaster of parts leaf
casta, soap models, bows and arrow*
by the arm load; troop and patrol i
flags were attractively displayed.
"Meyers suggests that every troop
give a thought to a display similar
to the above to be put on by every
troop in their home town during An-
niversary Week. February 6th-13th,
using a prominent downtown show
window showing their community the
articles of handicraft made by local
scout* and at the same time cele-
brating our 22nd birthday.”

AN APPRECIATION
The West Community Fair has gone down in history as the
most successful event of the kind that has ever been held here. It
was just another demonstration of what a great people can and will
do with just a little encouragement.
Everybody la now thoroughly convinced that this country has
not gone to the Bow-Wow*; furthermore that it is not going to do
so for srith this displaying of our great resources and with decidedly
encouraging reports coming in from all parts of our great country,
we are taking on new life. The stage ha* been set and we are ac-
tually recovering, as basic commodities, stocks and bonds are in-
creasing in value and thousands of people are being daily put back
to work. Confidence is surely returning.
I lie great success of the West Community Fair was due to the
whole-hearted co-operation of the entire community with the Wbst
r hsmher of Commerce, the West Home Demonstration Club and the
" «t Boys’ and Girls’ Caif Club.
Thanks arc hereby gratefully acknowledged by each of these
organisations to the local press for the large amount of free publicity
gladly given and to every other person who assisted in any way what-
soever in making this event such an outstanding success.
NOW-FORWARD-EVERYBODY WITH HIS AND HER
SHOULDER TO THE WjHEEL, PUSHING WITH ALL OUR
MIGHT. AND IF AND WHEN WE DO THAT, CAN YOU DOUBT
THE RESULTS?

West Business Houses
Close Armistice Day
Practically ail of the bus mem
houses of Weat closed their doors at
10 a. m. on Armistice Day, November
11th. Though no celebration of any
kind was held in this city, members
of the American Legion and other
citixens observed the memorable an-
niversary by attending service# in
Waco and other nearby cities.
Thirteen years have passed since
the declaration of the armistice and
the close of tho great World War,
but American citizens can never for-
get the significance of the day in the
history of the nation. November 10th
1918 was one of the many day* at
depression and sorrow brought about
by the War, but November 11th, the
following day, was one of widespread
joy and thanksgiving. By virtue «f
its importance in our history, Armis-
tice Day is fitly remembered and ob-
served as one of the outstanding holi-
days of the year.

i "T! crowd which has been estimated
at almost 5000 attended the Went
District Fair here last Friday and
Saturday, and all declared the exhi
bition by far the best which West
has ever put on. From Friday morn
Ing to Saturday night when the ex
hiMtion closed its doors a steady
stream of visitors was filing through
both buildings, the crowds making
it at times almost impossible to en-
ter. Officials in charge and ail those
who attended were united in their
praise of the exhibit* shown.
The Herrick building, where the
ladies of the Wfest Home Demonstra-
tion club were in charge, was packed
literally full of all aorta of interest
ing articles. In fact, the huge num-
ber of articles entered severely taxed
the capacity of the booths so that all
could not be shown to the best ad-
vantage, but all who entered the
building came out praising the spirit
of co-operation shown by the people
of West in exhibiting so many ar-
ticles. There were fifteen booths
arranged in the building, and each
waa filled to overflowing with in-
teresting exhibit*.
Down at F us ton’s barn, where the
livestock was shown, the greatest
entry list ever recorded here was
shown. With over fifty head of cat-
tle, over 300 head of chickens, sev-
eral dozen rabbits, and numerous
turkeys, pigeons, geese and ducks ex-
hibited, the building proved equally
as interesting as Use other depart
ments. All declared this the best
exhibition-of local dairy and pouitrY
ever held here.
There was also much to be obaerv-
rd on the outside. A platform in
the center of the street attracted
large crowds when programs were
presented, and the cotton miU drew
thousands of other* as it held open
house for the visitors. A street car-
nival and saveral terrapin race* also
contributed their part to the general
I«ss Akers, who spoke Friday
night, ably entertained hi* audience
and rant them away laughing at hia
quip*. Other number*, vocal and in-
strumental, offered entertainment.
On Saturday the Weat School Band,
under the direction of Professor Ales-
sandro, furnished enjoyable music,
and the Harris entertainers, formerly
at the Cotton Palace, filled in the

standing exhibits eras that of the
local Boy Scout troop, which con-
tained beautiful beadwork and leather
work, together with archery exhibits,
stamp books, merit badges and other
articles of interest. Mrs. 8. P. Ne-
ill exhibited her delicious home-made
candies in another space. The Mc-
Lennan County Chapter of the Red I
Cross also hud Its booth, as did the !
county nursing work. Schools and
education had their spare for show-
ing the clever work done by the
youngsters, and another booth exhi-
bited articles manufactured in West.
At the rear of the building was an
old loom, made from wood grown in
the Aquilla bottom, and used by Mrs.
Hill, now deceased. Mrs. E. N. Gar-
rison exhibited to the onlookers how
the loom was used in weaving clotb 1
in pioneer days. On the outside was
special terrace ditcher, made by
John Zahirniak and patented by him.
