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 school holiday now, so kids may feol gyppod, oti iNiti( pogo) •
