Suffolk County Fair Designated A Blue Ribbon Fair DUPLICATE TOURNEY At Mrs. John Messenger's Fire Destroys Barn At Sound Ave. Mattituck Fire Dept. Efficient and Courteous FLOWER SHOW AT CUTCHOGUE CHURCH A fire alarm last Friday after- noon was answered promptly by the Mattituck Fire Department. On the way to the fire, the hose cart and a couple of the private cars ran into difficulties, as about twenty geese chose that untimely moment for crossing the road. The firemen were in a hurry, the geese were not. Naturally, complications followed and several geese emerged from the scramble the worse for wear. On arrival, the men found the barn of Bruno Koscukiewicz, farmer, of Sound Avenue in flames. All livestock and machinery were gotten out safe- ly and the fire in the carriage shed put out. The main barn and chicken house were a total loss. It is thought that the fire started by spontaneous com- bustion in the oat straw in the bam. At 11 P. M., a second alarm from the sime farm came in. On arriving the Mattituck firemen worked stren- ously to save the carriage shed, which was in flames. It is thought the second blaze started from some bags that had been emoldering\ in the afternoon and which the owner had been advised to remove. The total loss is estimated at a- bout $5,000 which was covered by insurance. Mattituck is to be congratulated on its efficient and courteous fire department. This fire was outside of Mattituck's district but the call was answered prompt'^* hoth times, and much difficulty and risky work was done by men who are all volunteers, receiving no pay whatever for their services. Their courtesy was shown in offer- ing to hold up the heavy hose stret- ching across the road so that a «ar could pass under. The driver of the car, who happened to be the present writer, had an appointment as some distance, and greatly appreciated not being delayed by a tedious de- tour. On Wednesday July 28 from 3 to 7 P. M. there will be a flower show at the Cutchogue Presbyterian Church. Bring your best .blossoms and show what your gai'den can do, • There will be special table ar- rangements, specimen flowers, ar- rangements in vases. For particulars call Mrs. Clarence Fleet, Peconic 39. Refreshments will be served. Ad- mission 40 cents.

AUXILIARY TO HOLD CARD PARTY ON JULY 29 A card party at the Marratooka Clubhouse Thursday, July 29th. Tic- kets 35c; cards start at 2:30 P. M.

The Old Parish Cemetery of the Mattituck Presbyterian Church is being extensively cleaned up and improved. The gi-ass in the Old Burying Ground has been mowed, and the fallen and leaning tombstones straightened. Some of them had been flat for many years. A colonial white picket fence is being constructed which will be plac- ed on both sides of the cemetery, on Sound Ave. Rd., and King's High- way to the westerly line of Bethany Cemetery. This will add greatly to the appearance of the enclosure. The church is financing the im- provement of the groijnds, and the fence is ibeing donated by the Wick- ham Cemetery Fund: Mr. Valentine W. Smith of Bay Ave., Mattituck is helping most materially with this work, having given much valuable time and energy to investigation and supervision. $100 Award Not Claimed Tuesday Support the n«w»pap«r that b«< long* to YOUR town.

I For the first time since its incep- tion 85 years cN^o, the Suffolk County Fair has won the distinction of be- ing designated as a Blue ii:ibbon Fair by the State of New York. This statement, in itself, means little to the average frequenter of the annual county agricultural and educational exhibit. To the ardent supporters of many years standing it means the fulfillment of a dream of success. Every agricultural society in the 53 counties of the iState strive, to attain the Blue Ribbon rating, which is the acme of perfection in such en- terprises. However, very few county fairs in the State are awarded the coveted honor. This award is a boon and acknowledgement of the advances made in agriculture in Suffolk Coun- ty over the intervening years as demonstrated through the exhibit- ions on display at the fairs during the past several years. Before the Department of Agri- culture and lyiarkets of New York State makes the Blue Ribbon desig- nation the agricultural exhibits must have a rating of between 90-100 per cent perfect. Also, the annual Co. fair management must receive a 90-100 per cent rating for observance of the stringent State Department's rules and regulations concerning sanitation, not only in their own buildings but on the part of the concessionaires and also the food and drug laws. The fair management must also have a 90-100 percent rat- ing for educational exhibits and en- tertainment for its patrons. 85th Annual Fair Held Aug. 24-28 Much of the credit for the newly gained honors can be traced directly to the officers and directors of the Soc. during the past 3 years. Each and every one of the fair manage- ment worked unselfishly for the welfare of the fair. Such men as Frank M. Corwin, hardworking sec- retary-treasurer, who received the support of former Assemblyman John G. Downs, president of the society; Supervisor John N. Brennan, vice-president; .State Senator George L. Thompson, honorary director; Di- rdctors Charles F. Delano, Lester H. Davis, John H. Dayton, Harold H. Hallock, former supervisor Char- les Henry Smith, are responsible for the Blue Ribbon rating. Honorable mention should be given to former directors Dr. E. J. Robbins and George Cushman. The 85th annual fair which open* August 24th-28th inclusive will be repiete with new innovations in ex« hibits, sporting a*ctivities and amuse* ment. The unusually large list of entries, so designed to portray every field of enterprise in the county, rural, industrial, social and domestic, will add to this year's fair many new and outstanding features. In addition there will be a multitude of free attractions, band concerts and pro- fessional entertainment, featuring Continued on page seven ^
