'Held for the first time last year, the Festival has already spotlighted the district as the bean centre of the province. Kins- men have participated in nation- wide television and radio inter- views in attempts to promote more use of beans and to publi- cize the festival. Activities in the arena this year will be staged on the new cement floor laid last month by Kinsmen with the aid of volun- teers from the area. Some of the profits from last year's festival went into the expenses of the floor and the club hopes the pro- ceeds from this Labor Day will pay off the balance. Dr. D. 3.
