Dorton, J. S. (Joseph Sibley), 1895-1961
J. S. Dorton was manager of the North Carolina State Fair beginning in 1937. During World War II, when the State Fair was closed, Dorton served as director of the state's War Manpower Commission. In that capacity, he was instrumental in planning an exhibit, to be permanently housed in Raleigh, N.C., of representative samples of everything manufactured, produced, or processed in North Carolina as a testimonial to North Carolina's civilian contribution to war effort.
