School Fair
The Belgrave
(Editor's Note: The following
poem was recited by Clifford
Coultes at a concert this spring at
Belgrave. The Belgrave School
Fair marks its 75th anniversary this '
Friday, Sept. 15.)
Along about May Day,
We'd start to prepare,
For a highlight of autumn: -
The Belgrave School Fair.
The prize lists would come,,._
And we'd pick out our seeds,
And think about making,
Collections of weeds.
Our parents and teachers,
Would coax us, or force,
To do art work and writing,
And much more, of course.
We'd think it was silly,
And only a pain; -
We'd grumble and growl,
And lament and complain.
In September, the teacher,
Would get us to march.
And she'd get us outside,
Standing stiffer than starch.
The tallest in front,
To the shortest at last,
We'd get out of school,
To walk round on the grass.
To practise parading,
And keeping in line.
As to keeping in step,
'Twas a terrible time.
When the day came,
The family would scramble
mom.
To get to the fair,
The potatoes and corn.
The calves we had guzzled,
To get them to lead,
And everything else,
That we happened to need.
He didn't mind lending,
Veranda and lawn.,
But he never came out,
Until we were all gone.
We'd get lined up for parading,
And have to stand still,
Till we'd finally get marching,
Up over the hill.
We'd wind through the village,
Before us would stride,
Inspector Kinkead,
And some others beside.

The hospital was less busy this
summer than it was last year,
Wingham and District Hospital
chief executive officer Lloyd
Koch told the hospital board last
Thursday evening. •
He said that some staff through
it was because people, once they
were admitted, wanted to get out
as soon as possible due to the heat
in most of the patient care areas.
"While this may have been a
contributing factor, I expect it had
more to do with vacations of he fe
pa-
tients and doctors, given
weather that we experienced
through the whole summer," he '
said.
Koch added that the occupancy
rate at the beginning of September
was back up at its usual level. He
noted that the out-patient depart-
ment continues to hold its own
with a small increase in year-to-
date visits, primarily due to the
number os people visiting regular-
ly held clinics. .
The CEO said that laboratory,
radiology and nutrition all had re-
duced caseloads due to the re-
duced number of in -patients. for
"Our average length of stay
medical and surgical patients con-
tinues to drop," said Koch. "This
is an indicator of good use of re-
sourcesbygetting patients through
We'd finally get
To the Foresters' Hall,
And stand or sit down,
In the shade of the wall.
But we didn't want speeches,
We wanted to run,
To the halls and church sheds,
And just have some fun.
It was verxtrying --
`Twould be now as then,
To wait through the gabble
Of silly old men.
We'd have a fun day,
Once that nonsense was through,
Then gather our things to get
home and to do,
Our chores in a hurry, and gobble a
bite,
co get back to the big school fair
concert at night.
The younger recited,
The older made speeches,
There always was singing,
'Twas hard on the breeches.
To sit it all through,
For there sure was a lot,
The hall would be stuffy,
And crowded, and hot.
Next day, we'd be sleepy
And sluggishapwe'dirihad such a time,
ass,
But happy
Come to pass.
After dinner, we'd dress in our best
and we got,
Together at the house of David S.
Scott.
We'd not want to miss,
Though tiredness was cruel;
The best part, of course,
Was a day off from school.
WRQXETER--Members of the
Wroxeter Seniors had a lovely
summer day to start the new season
last Wednesday, Sept. 6.
Mr. and Mrs. Ken Galbraith

licious potluck dinner and social
time before the president, Bill Hart,
drew names for the monthly prizes.
Winners of the potpourri pies
