Thayer, longtime entrepreneur of hilltown fairs, recruited Mrs. Katherine Keyes to help out at a horse and ox draw planned by Pittsfield firemen at the GEAA Thayer asked Mrs. Keyes because at that time she and her husband lived just down Crane Avenue at the former Unkamet Farm, and her son, Clyde, had a team entered in the draw. She served as announcer and did so well she was asked again and again at sucouert draws. She has also served as a judge at draws.

Two weeks ago, Mrs. Keyes was elected as the first woman president in the history of the Massachusetts Fairs Association, after serving three years as 'a vice president. She was first nominated to be vice president by Edward J. Carroll, who last fall named her to the post of director of agriculture at his Barrington Fair. But.

Collins said that three commissioners had inspected the lake last fall and found it to be clear of weeds. "Next summer the weeds will be very heavy at the Lanesboro end of the lake because of effluent emptying into it, but the rest of the lake will be clear," Collins predicted. The Commissioners intend to include mpney for I weed control in the 1972 budget, according to Collins.

Aided by State Allied Biological Control Corp. put 1,575 gallons of Enron. a brand of silvex weed killer, into the 505-acre lake in early July of last summer. The chemical effectively eliminated quantities of Eurasian milloil clogging the lake. The treatment was performed by 'Athol, under a contract with the state Department of Public Health, which under- took the program at the behest of the County Commission.

The commonwealth contributed $15,500 to the A biologist for Allied tiological Control which rid Pontoosuc Lake of weeds for $21,000 last summer, this week urged that an additional $5.000 be spent this year for maintenance of weed control. Jason M. Corte 11 said Thursday that the $5,000 must be spent this year if a "cataclysmic treatment" of the 1)ke on the scale of last summer's program is to be avoided in the future. Ctwtell was reached at his office in Wellesley Hills for comment on the status of weed-control in the lake. "I oppose applying chemicals every two or three years," Cortell said.

"Why expose the environment to large amounts of chemicals every so often when we can eliminate weeds with small doses each year?" he asked. However, the County Commission which contributed $5,500 of the cost of last summer's treatment has not allocated any funds in the 1971 budget for the project. Commissioner Matthew J. Collins explained that "The application of chemicals last year appeared to be effective and we felt that further treatment this year would an overdose, We Marianne Curd 2 Local Teel!

The function of the announcer is to act as timekeeper (a team is ailowed five minutes to niove its load), to announce the results over the public address system, and to keep score. The function of the judge is to make sure the drivers follow the rules, and to measure the distance the load has been moved, The point of the Whole business, of course, to determine which team, in any given weight-class, can move the heaviest load the farthest.

The weaker teams are eliminated when they fail to move an. increasingly heavy load a minimum of 6 Among the last few competitors. it's usually a matter of which team can pull the heaviest load the most inches. Rails on each side of the team are to prevent them from turning the load. It's a rugged test for the drivers as well as the beasts, and no rose garden for the officials.

During World War IL she operated a milk route in Dalton from the back of a station wagon. She has been secretary of the Currunington Fair Association for the past 15 years and was director of the Littleville Fair Association forI3 years.

It was during one of her stays in the hospital that she received a appreciation for 20 years of announcing draft for the Cummington Fair Association. Last ee.pite her illness. she judged the Memorial Day draw at the Littleville Fair, and on July 4 The Misses Marianne Curd and Ann M.

Doyle announced Priday that he has instructed sanitation crews not to collect garbage from garages, He said a number of residents have been leaving contailaers in their garages, meetinmanitation men to go in after them. Containers, said Doyle, must be outside on ground level. He said the reason for the regulation is to protect both the homeowner and the men from possible damage to property from carrying the garbage containers outside.

Doyle said that some residents leave their garbage containers outside between the garage and a parked car in the driveway. For the same reason, he said the sanitation men have been instructed not to carry the containers to the street unless there is an adequate path to get there without fear of scratching the car.
