D. (Cranberries Photo) First Plans of '53 National Fall Festival Preliminary plans for the Fall Cranberry Harvest Festival were made at a meeting of the festival committee at the NCA office, Han- son, March 17th. This event has been growing in popularity each year and so the ball was started rolling early. Date selected is September 26, a Saturday, and if the day is un- favorable the event will be held Sunday. The place, as previously is to be famed Edaville. The pro- gram will be held to a single day, as that has been found more satis- factory, with the selection of the Massachusetts queen the evening before. She will compete with choices from other areas for the national title. Although the date conflicts with Wisconsin's annual "Cranboree", it is hoped a queen will represent that state, New .lei-sey will offer a candidate, and the West Coast could be represented if funds are I'aised for her transportation. Se- lection of the Massachusetts queen is limiteci to seniors in high schools from towns within the main cran- berry area, that is Barnstable and Plymouth counties. The winner is chosen on a merit system, with! per- sonality to represent the industry in following publicity events, a large factor. National Cranberry! Week will be the following week, October 4 to 10. Program for the day is tentative- ly set as follows: chicken-cranberry barbeque, with places for 2,.500, 500 more than last year; crowning of the queen by a leading figure in government; pageant, jam-eating contest, favorite cranbewy dish con- test, big berry contest, recognition of the oldest cranberry grower and rides on the Edaville R. R. Of special interest will be a dis- play of cranberry harvesting imple- ments from the first hand-made wooden scoop down to present day machinery. All eve
