MEMORIES RECALLED OF
BELGRAVE SCHOOL FAIR
Memories of the Delgrave
School Fair are strong in the
childhood memories of all natives
of the area. Looking back as
adults, we view it with pride and.
as an indication of the progres-
eive co-operative spirit of this
community; and we are mud
that the fair is still flourishing.
As children, we looked forward
to it as a day's break in the then-
otonous routine of reading, writ-
itig and 'rithmetic through which
We suffered for most of the
Menthe of the best (?) years of
Out lives. Youth of the present
ritay note with envy that in this
writer's day, the fair was held cm
Wednesdays, now it is planned for
Saturdays, to avoid breaking into
the aforementioned routine, No
