Exposition Was Highly Successful
Four-Day Annual Fair and Livestock
At a late hour Saturday evening
the last of the numerous activities
St the sixth annual Red River
Couny Fair and Livestock Exposi-
t on was halted, marking the close
of another highly successful event.
During the four days of this
show thousands of people visited
the grounds, buildings and carni-
val area. No count could be made_
of the attendance since admission'
v as free. It Should have been al-
most impossible to gauge the size
of the crowd scattered over sev-
eral acres at any given time.
Chairman Summers of the Red
R'ver County Agricultural Im-
provement Association • spysoring
agency for the Fair and Livestock
Exposition, and othqr officials, who
devoted a lot of time and effort
to the 1961 event, expressed thehrt>
selves as well pleased with the re-
sults-
Every department operated ef-
ficiently and satisfactorily. ' Divis-
ion heads were familiar with their
assignments and aiding them were
competent assistants. The whole
endeavor functioned as planned.
While no statement could be re-
leased this week regarding the fi-
nancial aspects of this year's un-
dertaking. Chairman Summers
said he believed all budgeted ex-
pense was covered by receipts".'
Favorable weather prevailed
from beginning to end. While
threatening clouds ho”ered for a
time on the opening day, by late
afternoon when the parade' was
ovct the crowds were beginning
, to appear, and the possibility of
rain had. passed. Temperatures
were a few degrees too high for
comfort in the ' afternoons but
■nighttime conditions were pleas-
ant.
Exhibits in all sections were of
a high quality. Some departments
had smaller displays than la$t
year, but every item rated high.
Visitors showed . considerable in-
terest in the varied exhibits.
Chairman Summers requests all
firms and individuals, who have
charges against the Red River
County AIA to present statements
to hint, or Judge Gavtn Watson
Jr as soon as possible.
Due to lack of space publicat-
ion of th# names of all Fair win-
ners could not be arranged for this
edition of the Times. Lists not in

Door Division of Davis Products Co.
At Garksville Sold to Indiana Firm
Sale of the Door Division of the
Davis Products CompAny, Clarks-
ville, to BAN Manufacturing
Company. Elkhart, Indiana, and
Hemet, California, a division of
A & J Industries, Ilic., was an-
nounced last week by Howard C.
Davis, president of the Da via con-
cern. The''plnnt has been a lead-
ing Clarksville manufacturer for
the past eight years* primarily in
the production of entrance doors
and shutters for the mobile home
industry.
Davis said the transaction in-
cluded all the local Davis assets,
with the exception of the building,
which BAN will continue to oper-
j&c on a tease basis. Terms of
the sale were not disclosed.
Vernon R. Sailor, vice, president
and genera! manager of the
B A N Manufacturing Company,
dated that manufacturing opera-
tions will be continued in Clarks-
vtlle on an accelerated production
schedule, - He said that acquisition
of the Davis property is a ketv
step in a company-wide expansion
program to strengthen B A
position in the mobile home Cield;
William Smothcrmon, who has
headed the Davis operation for the
past six years, will' continue as
manager for BAN.
In announcing the sale, Davis
stated tha l he' had negotiated jt
"with ^extreme reluctance, Init
with the assurance that B A; N
will contribute materially to the
economy of Clarksville and its
citizens Our present interests in
the compact kitchen market," Da-
vis added, "make it imperative
that we concentrate our total time
and energy in this direction. Com-
pact kitchens represent an area
of tremendous potential, and one
in- which we occupy a dominant
position. Rather than relegate our
operation here to one of secondary
importance, wo felt it much better
to put it into the hands oi a com-
pany with the desire, experience
and marketing ability to continue
it as an important economic factor
In Clarksville.”

Ajn intensive one-day fund drive

Community Chest has been set for
Tuesday. October 13, according to
Fred Fisher, county campaign
chainpjfl. Plans are being made
for teams of volunteer workers to
canvass all .households and bus-

.additional solicitation is anticipat-
ed . . - _
Eleven organizations will be In-
cluded in the Chest for 1962 and
tentative assijfnments of allot-

the finance committee. These in-

including administrative expense,
supplies, and publicity, are esti-
mated at $300.
"The advantages of only one
drive, instead of eleven separate
ones, are obvious.” Fisher Said.
"The Chest also offers a program
of- Systematic giving, whereby
contribution^xan be divided into
monthly, quarterly, semi-annual,
or annual payments.”
Fisher said it must bp stressed,
however, that eleven organizations
ore included in the.-one donation
and that every donor should give
enough for all those in the Chest.
Extra for Carla Victims
By special agreement with the
Red Cross, an emergency fund
drive now under way in most Tex-
0s counties for relief to victims of
Hurricane Carla will lie included
-in the annual Chest drive. How-

contributors are asked to increase
their donation by six to ten per-
cent.

Unlike previous farm road con-
struction programs, this one is for

The Highway Commission said the
reduced one-year program is the
result of Governor Price Daniel’s
recent veto of $15 million farm

The Governor recently vetoed

On Duty at Local Guard Unit Base
Company Commander Jack Dav-

duty Monday morning at-the boma
base of the National Guard unit
stationed at Clarksville., Already
on an active duty basis, a position
held several years, was First Sgt.
Calvin Brannan.
These men will be in charge of
a mass of detail work incident
to activation of Company, A on Oc-

Having absoroed the shock of
last week's news that they were
to be called'into service, members
of Company A began getting thetr
affairs in order pending the day
they will be leaving Clarksville
lor Fort Polk. Louisiana.
Scores of men in the Clarksville
area, the exact number a military

their jobs and places of business

Contrary to reports circulated
last week housing will. be avail-
able within the general area of
Fort Polk for aeveral hundred
families. Stories pohlixped jp pev-
eral daily newspapers in recent
days, written by statf men who
inspected the housing situation, in-
dicated that accomodations would
be provided for quite a large num-
ber of civilians.
U is probabl'e that families of
several members of Company A
will move to Leesville or DeRid-
