D. Robert Jones, Delaware County fanner who is Assistant Fair Man ager in charge of the Junior Fair Division, says: “The Fair always has been some what of a mirror of Ohio’s progress. It must be so expanded, as our prog ress demands, that it may always truly reflect the greatness of this state, born of the diversification of industry and agriculture. “The Fair must continue to en courage the youth of Ohio, both rural and urban.” He said the 1950 State Fair in Columbus August 26 to September 1 will usher in another century of “educational usefulness.” “Let us be certain that the Fair not only keeps pace that it takes the lead in the march of progress and preservation of our American traditions and the educational values such as an exposition so well pro vides,” he adds.
