The biggest "happening", of course, is the annual Auxiliary-sponsored Hospital Fair Day. On Saturday, August 4, come celebrate the 51st annual all-day festival of family fun on the Townshend common. At 2:00 there.s a special ceremony on the bandstand honoring Grace Cottage nurses for their 52 years of devoted service.

Can you help? Volunteers are needed for a variety of assign- ments. If you haven.t participated in the past, why not start now? You'll have fun, and a great feeling of satisfaction for having helped a most w o r t h w h i l e cause. Call Stan Holt, Fair Day Chair, at (802) 365-4455 or Sharon Redfield, Booth Chair, at (802) 365-4684. We need Auction donations; call Barbara Barber at (802) 365-4707. Also, three refrigerators are desperately needed for the Refreshment and Gourmet Booths. "You call, we'll haul"...both ways, if you have an extra working fridge that you can spare for Fair Day use.

And, most of all, you are needed on the common on Fair Day, "spending freely," Dr. Otis's annual appeal!

SUPER SUPPER XVI. Ninety-seven Auxilians and their guests had a ball...back again to the Townshend Town Hall... Stan Holt, our Fair Day Chairman, displayed hidden acting talent... The Heartbeats sang... 6 big turkeys a treat (all devoured)... A great set-up crew, for which we are grateful.
