This decision was reached today in a meeting of the fair committee and the reason was given as that vandals in the last year have damaged the buildings to such an extent that repairs, estimated previously to cost about cannot be made in time, for planning the events. The motion was passed with a unanimous vote of the fair committee headed by G.

E. Blackledge, county agricultural agent. In another motion presented by Albert Lent, Blackledge was authorized to appoint a committee to meet with Chamber of Commerce, Tucson livestock show and La Fiesta de los Vaqueros officials to determine if the 1947 fair can be held on the same dates and in conjunction with the rodeo and livestock show, "A big show" of all three units it desired by the fair committee. A meeting with County Engineer George T. Grove is planned for the near future to determine damages of the fair, livestock and rodeo buildings.

The events were not conducted during the war years and it was found recently that unidentified persons had broken win- dogs, marred walls and ceilings, and had done other damage to the atructures. It was said neither labor nor material is available for immediate repairs and for that reason no fair can be conducted in 1946. Attending the meeting beside Blackledge were H. B. Hind, Daniel Clarke, Albert Sam Falvey, Charles Dietz, Mrs.

James Herron, when Harlev Bruffett, 22, 125 West Kennedy street, was taken into custody and accused of using an 11-year-old Negro youth to steal for him.

Tires and rims were the loot in most cases. Bruffett was charged with grand larceny, possession of stolen property, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. In police court Magistrate Paul J. Cella ordered the man held for prosecution by county authorities. Bruffett came to grief, police related, when a woman recognized a pair of wheels which had been taken from her car rolling down the street on a machine being driven by Bruffett.

Investigation developed that the woman did have a sharp pair of eyes and the arrest followed. In Bruffett's home they found the wheels and four stolen tires, Herron asserted. Seek Other Thefts The bureau is making a check of service stations seeking to turn up additional stolen rubber, Herron said. The method used bypruffett was to take the 11-year-ow Negro up and down little used streets. When he spied a likely looking bit of rubber the boy would get out of the car and with the proper tools would remove the tires.

This seemingly has gone on for months, according to Herron. For the boy's trouble Bruffett would allow him to drive the Bruffett car, and upon occasion would give him a small amount of change after selling a tire or two. The Negro boy was turned over to juvenile authorities. Silver Star is Given After Death Of Hero WILLIAMS, Nov. 16.
