Let's not talk about that. Far better to think about the good things of the day. The explosion of color which met the eye when walking into the arena Friday night could not be completely taken in for several minutes. It took some time to sort out the different sections which started with the glorious blaze of the flower display along the south wall and continued down the vivid rows of tables which held shining apples, glowing pumpkins brilliant tomatoes, and hard yellow cobs of feed corn, and the other produce in more muted shades such as huge green cabbages, giant mauve and yellow turnips, and the delicately colored melons, onions and sheaves of grain. The ornamental vegetables were a joy to see and touch and one velvety dark green, frilly cabbage was beyond belief as it stopped me in my tracks. In the gym, the array of fancy work, baking, and crafts made me feel humble and at the same time, proudly impressed by the cache of talent that is stored in this area. Out in the shed the beasts were sleek and the fowls, glossy, and I breathed deeply of the rich, heady animal smell which always awakens my farmer heart. For, when your ancestors were gaining prestige and honor fighting in the crusades, or jousting in the King's court, or conquering new lands and horizons, mine, I'm sure, were at home forking manure and tilling the soil and attending the local fairs. Fairs are almost as old as man himself and no sooner had he learned to scratch up a piece of ground and drop in a few seeds than he wanted to compare what he had produced with that of his neighbor in the next cave. Not satisfied with that, he then wanted to compete and exchange with the next tribe and although they were often at war with each other they declared a truce at the 'fair' ground to exchange goods and compare their wares. GRAND BEND We cater to all occasions Free Delivery Open daily 9 a.m, - 2 p.m. Phone 238-2222 Most of these early fairs had a religious connotation and were usually held at a burial ground which was considered holy.It was believed the gods would punish anyone who fought or cheated there. The Irish and the Scotch are long-time fair goers. They, too, held their expositions at the graveyards of the ancient kings. It was against the law to sue or arrest anybody on the fairgrounds and all personal possessions that were held for debt had to be given back to their owners during the time of the fair. (Not much wonder the Irish sang, `Heigh-ho, Come to the Fair'.) It is also said that only at fair time did the Irish and Scottish BRAN MUFFINS 1 egg beaten 1 cup brown sugar 1/3 cup butter 1 cup sour milk 1 tsp. soda dissolved in sour milk 1 cup all purpose flour 1 cup cooking bran 1 tsp, baking powder Stir, and bake in oven 325 degrees to 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

Facts N' Fancies By Gwyn ad 4 clans stop battling with each other. • The English have a long history of fairs, too, On these occasions a message from the king was read urging the people "to 'keep the king's peace and make no fray, outcry, shrieking, or other noise," Rules about honest weights and measures were also read. London was the scene of The St. Bartholomew Fair which was the first to put amusement above everything else. Vaudeville acts were improved and developed, but the old strict rules about honesty were broken and pick pockets and hokum — Please turn to Page 9 Fourteen membeis ..of the WMC of Exeter Pentecostal Church answered the roll call with a Bible verse containing the word children.

Her Bran Muffins have won first prize at the three Fairs she has entered them into this fall and she happily shares the recipe with us. Her recipe for Berry Cake has been handed down for generations. She says she has no idea how old it is but she knows her grandmother used it and it may have been handed down to her. Mrs. Weigand believes the secret of her good Butter Tarts is in the baking so follow the directions carefully. Beat eggs, add sugar and butter, then add berries with juice with soda mixed in it. Mix in flour. Bake in layers or 13 x 9 pan at 350 degrees. If using layers, fill with cream filling and ice with Fluffy Icing. Mrs. Eben Wiegand, Dashwood, cook renowned, walked away with the award for best cook at the Exeter Fall fair with no other contenders coming close. Although she didn't enter in all the baking classes she gained 12 firsts, and six seconds to cop the T.A. crown and special prize of money. Mrs. Wiegand also won three special entries sponsored by Schneiders and Canadian Canners and Fry Cadbury for her apple pie, raisin pie and chocolate cake. In the Recipe Box this week she shares some of her prize winning recipes with the readers. Monday, she captured the most points for her baking at the Zurich fair.

Susan MacDonald was the winner in the Junior Homemaking and Mrs. Gwen Coward captured the most points for Home Canning.
