Bozzy Bonehouse and the Ada World Fair Ambition
A semi centennial pageant in Ada Oklahoma rivals a world fair in scale with strong city backing and a $100 yearly pledge from a women’s club. The plan would rely on federal matching funds, with local divisions, schools, and organizations urged to help. A columnist muses on discipline and education, contrasting hard work with laziness, then recalls a wealthy patron who cannot pay for a meal, and ends with notes on charcoal grilling as a picnic trend and its insect-repelling appeal.
