As usual the cattle exhibits caught this reporters aye and at Paisley, "Jarvis Britisher Mischief," half brother of the bread Champion steer at the Royal Winter Fair, shown in cut at left was bred by Fred Reichalds & Sons of Jarvis, One of the special attractions at Paisley was the parachute jump by Hill Townsend, Ex-R.C.A,F. The exhibit staged by the school children of Paisley was bigger titan ever. There were over 1000 entries in the "Palace," their excellent show building: There were no cattle clubs shown 'as such bur there were gr te•rd cntrie of :shorthorns, 11crc ford, Anitt; an d 11 caste . The Paisley Pair was blesser! with grand weather, unlike that rxperi- (urea at }Iamburg, Th • cut to the richt shows an over-all shot of the Hamburg midway, uith the race track in the foreground. There the track was extremely muddy as a re- sult of heavy and intermittent rain storms. At Norwich crowds reached an all time high and the fair grounds were swanning with sightseers. Boxing was featured in the evening at the Town Hall and this attraction was eery popular. The Norwich Fair was opened by the Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Mr. Cliff Graham, f1Hlir v• as a large tl'""ter of new buildings on the fair grounds, and the Norwich Citizens Land added a festive air to the. occasion, At Glencoe the beauty cone st was nor of the highlights, Leona Fisher took top honors and won a trip 10 the \\'incisor contest next year. This prize was sponsored by Mr. Simpson of the above city. • In the evening there was a first- class horse show complete with jumping. This was a new event and looked (mite impressive under the flood lights. Cattle entries were very heavy at Glencoe; in fact there were many more than last year and more than 15.0 entries in all were on deck.

PARKHILL The pictures of the Parkhill Fair shown on this page have one thing in common, namely food. The one photo shows Mrs. Stanley Scott, Parkhill; Mrs. C. R. May, London; Mrs. W. J. Dickson, Parkhill; Mrs. M. W. Telfer, Parkhill; and Miss Ethel Robson, Denfield, judging one of the many entries in the bak- ing contest. The other photo snapped by your Ful -O -Pep photographer shows a calf and its owner do- ing a little research 011 the food problem. This shot could well be named "Ful -O -Pep Meal Time." This is one of the more fortlutate animals whose owner, Mr, Verne Hlarris, was able to secure for it the very best food. The grand stand entertainment at this Fair was of top notch cali- bre. One event of unusual interest was the men's half utile foot race. The Thetford brass band added gaiety to the occasion when they led the live stock parade in re- view past the grand stand. This was a new feature of the fair this year and was a big bit. The boys' Calf Club was very active. Probably the 5lggcst drawing card was the cattle axhibit, par- ticularly the Shorthorn entries.

Actually it is a com- positive picture showing the winner of one •f the most popu- lar contests at tiorwich. The un- happy porker shown in the left of the photo is being greased prior to bring turned loose amongst many eager contestants whose frantic efforts to capture the animal provided the crowd with one of the best shows seen at any of Ole Fairs to date, In the far right of the photo is the winning gentleman who succeeded in capturing the elu- sive animal after one of the wildest scrambles seen any- where in Ontario, or for that matter, on this continent this year. This particular event was mirth provoking from the word "go". It reminded our reporter of the Saturday morning rusk one sees in front of many of the meat counters fit the city of Toronto, In fact it looked like a much simpler task to seize the greased pig turned loose at Nor- wich than to obtain an ungreas- ed piece of pig in any of the city butcher shops, The pig in question put up a struggle in the best tradition and succeeder) in degreasing: itself on the shirts . and bodies of the eager contes- tants, • PARKHILL Photograph by your L'ubO.Ptp Photographer.
