Saturday Preparation
Day at Great Fair
R M. STRIPLIN, secretary of
¢ the fair association, at
noon Saturday made the foliow
ing statement to The Georgian: |
“Saturday is always known as
preparation Day. Scme of the
}exhiblts are always incomplete
on Saturday, but this year the
fair is far more complete on the
opening day tHan ever before.
All new exhibits are in, but sonie
] exhibits that are to come from
*] the Alabama fair at Birming
ham, the Des Moines fair, the
Virginia fair at Richmond, .the
Grand Circuit races at Lexington
and the county fairs In North
Georgia, were still arriving Sat
urday. They will all be in place
by Monday, when the entire fair
will be complete and the formal
program will be carried out.
The amusement part of the fair
‘| will be open Sunday free ‘of
charge to the publie, and there
will.be a free band conceft. The
‘exhibit part of the fair will be
roped off and will not be open
on Sunday.” 3
. Although the Southeastern Fair for
\ma.lly opéned Saturday at Lakewood
Park, it will not get in full. swing
until Monday, at which time it is ex
pected that all of the exhibits will be
ready and the amusements along the
midway will all be open for business.
The first day was spent largely by
exhibitors getting ready for next
week, although the grounds were
visited by many from .the time the
gates opened.
Many of the exhibits are coming
it‘from fairs that will not close until
Saturday night, and this is one of thé
reasons set forth by the management
for the failure to be ready on the first
day. The Johnny J. Jones Carnival
Company will not leave Birmingham
until late Saturday night, but will ar
rive in Atlanta early-Sunday morning
and will. be ready for the opening
Monday.
Most of the first day crowd was
composed of those who are in the city
attending the Confederate Reunton,
Many of the exhibits were being put
in shape while work had . not been
started on othe}s. |
NO SET PROGRAM.
There was no set program for
the first day. This was explained by
Sécrevary R. M. Striplin, who declared
that the gates were closed primarily
fér the purpose of speeding up the ex
hibitors and giving them an oppor
tunity to get ready for Monday, when
the actual opening will take place.
The agricultural and live stock ex«
hibits were the center of interest for
the first day crowds. They were
more complete than the others and
farm maehinery demonstrators had a
banner day.
There is an exhibit of practlcally‘
every make and kind of modern r-rmv‘
implement at Lakewood, and the
farmers spen; most of the day in thls|
vicinity. Thére were few amusements‘
for the first day visitors and no band
concert or other form of entertain-‘
ment had been provided.
One of the most ‘popular exhibits
open was that of the reconstruction!

“I love a ci\ty~with sentiment,” said
Dr. Livingston Farrand as he looked
at t};e flags that had decked Atlanta
for the reunion. “And if I couldn’t
be here for/the gathering of the vet-‘
erans of the Confederacy, I am at
least very happy to speak in Atlanta
for the Red Cross, so close on the
heels of this reunion. .
“The spirit that greeted tHese old
heroeslso beautifully is the spirit to
which the Red Cross most appeals.
I love a city with sentiment. It is all
to rare, these days.”
Dr. Farrand, head of the central
committee of the American Red
Cross, reached Atlanta Saturday and
at 11 o'clock shoke to a great dssem
blage of Red Cross workers and of
ficials from all parts of the South
ern Division,. gathered at the Capital
City Club. He spoke for the third
Red Cross roll call campaign, -No

his present tour, through all parts of
the country, is planned. /

going to the club, Dr. Farrand took

“In this I wish to include the Gulf
Division also,” Dr. Farrand said.
“The grand work done by these two
divisions in the war period goes
without saying-—everybody knows
that. 3
“But I must add that I understand
the extraordinary problems that con
fronted thees two divisicns, both
during the war and in this vastly
important after-war period—th’e race
questidn is one of those problems.
And I have a profound admiration
for the splendid way in which the
Southern and the Guilf Divisions
have handled, and now are handling,
the after-war work of the Red Cross;
the home service—the attention <o
soldiers’ families; disabled fighting
men, and all the rest of it.” '
The morning session at the club
was attended by more than 200 Rcd'
Cross officials and workers, half of
}them from out of the clty.'comlng
from all parts of the Southern Di

o'clock,
THE FUTURE SERVICE.
After a brief and impressive sketch
of the Red Cross work in France—
much of which he saw personally—
Dr,, Farrand proceeded to outline the
present duty and future service of
the great organization, He said, in
conclusion:
“And, now, one great important
fact must be made clear to every one,
a nd that is this: The task of the
;Red Cross is not yet ended. With
the domobilization of the last regi

chapters of Red Cross work, bur un

still remains a Red Cross responsi

affected by war conditions has been
placed as firmly as may be on its
feet, the Red Cross work has not been
terminated. At no time has the ac
tivity of the home service sections
been as great as'it is today, and we
must look forward to active service
