town volunteers
to help in festival
At least 150 volunteers are
needed to do the sometimes
strenuous and often tiring jobs
connected with running the Bean
Festival. About a dozen began
Monday, supervising beans in
cookers. Others will be on duty
till the small hours next Sunday,
More are needed. .
Year after year, many of the
same people do these chores.
Sometimes they grumble, or even
say they will never do it again.
When the time comes, they are
back.
Each year, too, the committee
in charge of volunteers goes
through an anxious period,
wondering if enough hands will
be offered. Each year, there are.
Betty Kirk, who is in charge of
kitchen help, has experienced
this uncertainty. She said she -
could write a book on the subject,
"Why I can't help." Excuses
offered have included high blood
pressure, low blood pressure,
a sore toe and company
coming.
In the kitchen Saturday, from 8
a.m. to 8.30 p.m. five shifts will
work two and one-half hours at a
time, mixing and cooking beans.
Another three shifts will mix cole
slaw for three hours at a time. (It
used to take three three-hour
shifts of four women to cut up all
the cabbage. This year, for the
first time, it was bought
prechopped.)
Men will take turns slicing
ham. Other shifts will serve or
sell coffee or take-home orders of
beans or cole slaw, or man ticket
booths.
