A good many of us attended and enjoyed the fair, despite bitterly cold weather, Two son; of people attended: Those who had dug up their overcoats and those who wished they had. But a little thing like weather couldn't spoil Teeswater Fair. "Tory" Gregg was as usual a cap- ablee master of ceremonies and there were a number of speakers to offic- ially open the fair. The fall in itself Isn't the only thing that makes the day a success, as we a play with one boy. Now boys, rally tiotleed, particularly at noon when to the cause and help poor Mr. Fer- dining in a Teeswater restaurant. Even though the waitresses Were al- most rushed off their feet they gave most pleasing (and filling) . service. Maybe it was our good look's but we are sure everyone received the same fine treatment. The whole day reflect- ed this friendly attitude. In attendance and in full color were the Sarnia Lionettes and the Kincar- dine Scottish band.. Other entertain- ments were also given during the af- ternoon. Some of the largest classes were those of the 4H clubs. The heavy showing of carefully preened animals speaks well for junior club work in this part of the country. If all these young exhibitors stay on the farm and keep showing, Teeswater Fair's best years may still be ahead. Numerous veteran showmen had their animals out, too. One set that interested us particularly was a head of polled Shorthorns. We're locking forward to the day when all cattle will be horn- less. Another big class was that of the heavy horses. Judging from their fat- ness they haven't been overworked, but they're still around in case all the oil wells dry up. One big bay mare cut quite a figure sporting a straw hat and pulling a buggy, driven by a clown. He got rid of the buggy and entered her in the saddle races later on, coming near to winning. Races were held about throughout the after- noon, with lots of entries. In the arena were displays and dem- onstrations of various merchandise. All were interesting, but the oil heat- ers, with their comfortable flames, scllooL ACTIVITIES By Jean Smith, 1011 Now that we are back to hard tack, that is school, we are really settling down, The other day I went up to the typing room where they were typing in order to get a basic certificate for the typewriting course.

If anyone wishes to see the pro- *Teas of these busy pupils report to 'oom 11 to Mrs. Chopin and she will Show them to you after she hunts them up in her typing files. Now, people, when at the rugby games, remember Special Commercial typed the cheers and songs. Another branch of our activities Is Miss Heard's leather craft. This year 23 pupils are taking part, with the more experienced making billfolds for Christmas gifts. This period being on Friday, some pupils stay to do home- work so they won't have so mach to do over the week-end. Another extra activity Is junior dra- matics which is held every Wednes- day except last week owing to Tees- water Fair. This year they are going to put on the play, "High School Daze", with seven characters, in De- cember or January. Mr. Ferguson is wondering how he is going to put on were the 1I•titeteet to tear oneself away from, An excellent ;display by the Walk-I grton District High Pelmet dealt with all phases of natural. and wildlife pre- lierValcm, This is a topic to which none of us, town or country alike, cart afford to he indifferent to, 'Our. last sweet experience et the fair was eating a piece of cake giveit is by a friend who was taking it home with him, We don't know the lady who made it, but think her ac- quaintance would bp worth cultivating, Didn't see any teachers there, but heard one declare that he was, Let's hope his holiday humor lasts till Chrietreee at leapt.
