Fairmont, Aug.12—the Girls Auxiliary of the Baptist Church gave a very interesting program Sunday night at the school auditorium, the pulpit of the church not being large enough to accommodate the players. The object in giving this program was to impress the people of the great needs of our mountain schools, especially the denominational schools. Most of the schools turn away hundreds of applicants each year for lack of room. Mrs. O. L. Barnes is the leader of these girls and is to be complimented on the program given.
