44 TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL YEAR BOOK— PART II. 



Mr. Clark: We figured out a pass-out check we used last year 

 very successfully. This one reads as follows : "Tuesday, Sept. 12, 

 1922." We use a different colored return check out every day. 

 "This return pass issued to." If Mr. Curtin comes up there and 

 wants to go out we have him sign his name there, and he takes it. 

 "And will be honored at the pass gate only. Signed in the presence 

 of the gatekeeper." When Mr. Curtin comes back he signs his name 

 on the second line and goes in; otherwise he stays out. If the 

 signature shows any attempt at a forgery that means he has got 

 to pay his way in. We had this plan in operation this last fall and 

 it worked very nicely. Even the concession men highly approved it. 



Mr. Price: Did that include the night show too? 



Mr. Clark: We didn't give out any after five o'clock in the 

 afternoon but did give a man and woman a chance to go home at 

 five o'clock if they wanted to, any time before that, and come back 

 at the evening show instead of staying there. 



Secretary Wilkinson : The next question is, "I would like to know 

 if any other secretary has held such position longer than fifteen 

 years ?" 



President Estel: How many of this audience have been fair 

 secretaries more than fifteen years? Three. I think it would be 

 perfectly fitting that the three gentlemen who have held such office 

 more than fifteen years to have their pictures taken and do a little 

 advertising for the Fair Secretaries Association in Iowa. Next 

 question. 



Secretary Wilkinson : "How many fairs receive the amount of 

 $1,000 county aid? How many receive a less amount? How many 

 fairs receive no county aid? How many fairs have been refused 

 county aid by the Board of Supervisors ?" 



President Estel: First, how many in Iowa received $1,000 from 

 the county in which their fair is located ? Let's see the hands. For 

 either the past year or present year? 



Mr. Harvey : In Crawford county we received a thousand dollars 

 two years ago. Last year we received $700. 



Mr. Moore : On page 24 of Mr. Corey's report you have it shows 

 every county fair that has received county aid. 



President Estel: We will now adjourn until this afternoon.
