Fletcher S. “Tommy” Thomas, Ontario’s Minister of Agriculture, summed up Exeter's Centennial Fair in five words on Thursday when he enthused: “This IS a GOOD fair!” Mr. Thomas, who substituted for Premier Leslie Frost when the latter was unable to come, was genuinely surprised at the excellence of the local exhibition after he had toured it during the afternoon. “This is one of the best I have seen," the minister said. “It couldn’t be better”. AU of the 5,000 people who toured the centennial show agreed with Mr, Thomas. If there was any complaint, it was this dubious one; “There was too much going on; we couldn’t keep up to it all!” Parade Sets Pace Thursday’s early afternoon pa­ rade — the largest and most colorful in the history of the community — set the pace for the 100-year celebration. Led by the S.H.D.H.S. bugle band and 16 rooms of costumed children, the procession torical and commercial decorated cars, tricycles cycles, freak outfits and couples stretched out for town blocks. It took hour for the parade the grandstand. After Mr. Thomas fair open and a. past the fair, William Coates, unveil- school of his- floats, and bi­ pioneer five over half an to drive by declared the president of ed the memorial plaques op the new gates, the crowds moved excitedly from attraction to at­ traction throughout the well- organized grounds.

Down to Earth By D. I. HOOPER Country Living How often do you stop to rea­ lize just how rich you really are? The farmer! No, we don’t mean dollars and cents. Just plain country living, surrounded the miracles of Nature, No artist has ever been to make an exact copy of ture’s paintbrush which sweeps quietly across the largest canvas —the Universe. No camera has completely captured the green­ ness of a growing crop; the gold of a ripening grain field. Nor can a camera capture the look of a contented milk cow, that look. What city dweller ever the goodness of a soft, rain—that cool morning ness of a s true feeling­ soil — the seeds — the hay. Who but pride in healthy livestock, sleek, fattening cattle, growing cheering hens, bulging granaries, corn cribs, and tall silos filled with a winter’s supply of feed.

And all with­ out wasting much time or money on transportation in the morning either, as usually ‘shanks pony’ will take him to the barn within a minute or two. You know, looking at that word CHORES, it seems to me that it is an outdated word. Many years ago the word gave ing to all the yard jobs on the farm, but today chores are a highly skilled craft, and one of the most fascinating, thought provoking branches of the busi­ ness of farming, and in many cases scientific. Perhaps a couple of genera­ tions ago the rural dweller had some reason to envy his city cousins but today the shoe is on the other foot. The average far­ mer has all the modern facili­ ties — a telephone, electricity, running water—hot and cold— school buses, radio and television and a chance to buy a new car every year just the same as the city dweller, plus lots of scenery and room to move about. The hayseeds have been washed out of his hair more and more .... each additional improvement. Your Own Boss And the working hours. To be honest, they are longer than the city cousin’s, but who cares? You are working for yourself, and if you do work a little longer each day, well you can take an after- •noon off periodically without having to ask the boss ■— or am I‘ wrong? Added together there are enough extra advantages to bec­ kon any boy or girl to give farm­ ing a good try if they are pre­ sented in the correct manner. We are only going to live once and it might as well be in the country.

Although exact figures could not be tabulated because of the large number of people who entered the grounds free in the parade, the gate pro­ ceeds were the highest in recent history.
