M '`"/"Gav¢tad r D Ctarlte Tont Saturday .was tile, day of, our County Fair,. ,It was a grand day and a grand fair -46 every- one was happy. And what was different abgttt this fair? Well, for one thing it was its Hun- dredth Anniversary; it had also enlarged its acreage so there was * More 'parking space. And of course, in every department, the exhibits "were bigger and better than ever." The arrange„ ment for showing the exhibits had also been changed and greatly improved. One thing that always impresses me is the amount of time and work that every fair, and every exhibit, represents. Hours spent in •* grooming and handling every° type of livestock; but particular- ly cattle. One needs to be a real enthusiast to exhibit at a fair, local or otherwise. Thinking this we looked 'at the exhibits in the Women's Division, and we looked at the-showrings, and we wondered which represented the greater amount of work — of man-hours and woman -hours. An unanswerable' question, of course — and if one knew the answer one wouldn't dare give it! But I know one thing — the various groups who were oper- ating refreshment booths for social organizations were cer- tainly working hard—and doing a great business. But back to the exhibits. For my money I think the outstand- So Smart—Sew Easy T as �. ' R4763 2-20 40 4 -Alt Mae '11/1:4114 V ant a "Go -Everywhere" dress for now and through fall?

That was real- ly something. Of course there Were the Usual entriesror may- be mere' than the usual .num ber-e-from the boys and girls calf clubs; and there were the showrings and the expert hand- ling of,aivestock by the young people themselves. In addition to that the Junior Farmers had erected their own tent for their own exhibits. Here was` the evi- dence of thewont done by the various groups throughout the county during the year sewing clubs, handicraft centres, wool products, Hope-chest—old and new; Christmas gifts, garden clubs, nutrition lunches and many other exhibits. There were also two striking demon- skation5 in relief artistry, one illustrating the value of good breeding stock and showing the proper method of keeping milk- ing records; the other showing the effects of soil erosion and how the picture could be chang- ed over a period of years by re- forestation and contour plough- ing. Certainly there must have been wonderful leadership in these groups of young rural people — and also very active member participation. We came away from the tent with a feeling of pride in our Canadian farm boys and girls, And then we were confronted with a large sign—"4-H Club Section." Such wonderful CAN- ADIAN work — why hang on it an American label? Co-opera- tion with U.S. clubs is fine, and much to be desired, but why submerge Canada's identity? In the implement section we also found plenty to interest us. Partner, of course, was very busy looking at, and comparing, the various makes of farm ma- chinery. My attention was taken up by an old "Case" automobile, dating back to about 1912. This relic entered the fair grounds on its own power. Naturally it was the old touring style, with a massive fold -back canopy. The wheels also were very large and cumbersome. In another section there was an old Ford but it was not self-propelled. Of even greater interest was an honest -to -goodness treadmill, in use from 1850 and still in work- ing order. It was the type that used to be operated by horses continually walking the treads to provide power for threshing grain. The treadmill was work- ing but for demonstration pur- poses a small tractor was used, confined to the treads in just the same way as were horses a hunIre3 years ago. Of course. other highlights of the week of interest to everyone was the drop in the price of meat, and the return to standard time. One was as welcome as the other. We didn't need our glasses on Saturday to find the roast of beef we got for $2.50. And we found it much easier to "et no on Sunday morning. And do you know what? We got a letter from Bob with news that seemed almost incredible.

ISSUE 42 — 1952 Weight Reducing .Dieu Contrary to popular belief, many reducing schemes which call for very little or no fat in the diet may not only be harm- ful but may actually slow down the rate at which weight is lost, At New York Medical College, every one of a group of 'sub- jects sub-jects on a 1000-1150 calorie' diet containing fully 60 qr More grams .qf fat lost weight. But. not one, o another group on a low -calorie diet containing .less than 10 grams of fat shed any poundage. Moreover, patients on the successful diet had mope of ; the gastric disturbances, chest constriction and feelings of fa- tigue and weakness that fre- quently bother 'people ,,An fat- free or minimum -fat diets., Typical day's men; of the suc- cessful diet was: BREA1CFAS'I'' — 1 grapefruit, 1 boiled egg, 1 slice of bread, 'iia pat of but- ter, black, coffee, LUNCH — 1 slice° o,# ,bread, without butter,. 1 cup buttermilk or skim, Milk, 1 ounce of Swiss,Cheddar or do- mestic cheese, or 3 ounces of pot or cottage cheese.

BEAUTY WHIRLS BRIGHT BATON Killed His Friend For Half a Cent Sir Jack 'Drumniohd and his family murdered for a change of clothing! That was` the astonishing theory at first advanced by some of the detectives investi- gating the triple killing in the French Alpine village. They suggested that a deser- ter from the Foreign Legion saw the Drummonds settle down"forthe night, realized the possibility of getting civilian clothing, but was challenged when he tried to raid the wa- gon. Then, it was said, he pan- icked, with the tragic result we all know, ignored the cash, and made off with one of Sir Jack's suits. Murder is not always commit- ted over vital issues. Often the causes that contribute to it are trivial, Recently .a Negro in the United States murdered a friend who invariably greeted him with the remark, "Open the door, Richard!" followed by hil- arious laughter. The murderer's name was Richard and the con- stant repetition, together with the inane lauhter, got on his nerves., How many of our acquain- tances would we ladly suppress because of their stock jokes and cliches? But most of us would stop short of murder. Sometimes; an argument over a matter of nd .,consequence re- sults in murder. In 1951 a Turk murdered a friend who became involved in an.. argument with him over one farthing!. Greed, jealousy and hate are the main motives for, muder; but there are scores of others. Before the war of Jugoslav dered because he alas too hand - named Milijan Tejitch was arum - some. None of the local girls would look at another man in the village and as they found; it difficult to persuade the girls to marry them, they banded to- gether to murder this Adonis. He was found one morning' by the roadside with a number of knife wounds. Half a dozen of the local lads were arrested and given sentences ranging from ten to sixteen years, but later the verdict was quashed on technical grounds. Don't Expect Too Much The world's waters yield an- nually some twenty million tons of fish, or about a million tons of protein. The Committee of Oceanography of the National Research Council pointsout that this amount to only about one - fiftieth of the total consump- tion, of protein and suggests that a world population—which does not consume enough protein — *may well turn to the sea to feed itself. If the sea is to be exploited, the National Research Council's committee declares, fishermen —a conservative lot—will have to find better fishing grounds and improve their fish -catching methods. New England has shown in a small way what can be done with little change in boats or gear, and New England is not given to change. Within ten years (1931 to 1941) the rose catch increased from something negligible to 145 million pounds. In fact, rose fish is the second most important in New England fishing. The committee says that the fish population beyond the con- tinental shelves is far greater than was supposed. Many cif the fish are small and do not school, so that radically new techniques of location, capture, processing and marketing must be develop- ed to make the most of them commercially. , One way of exploiting these almost untouched resources is Ey way of underwater acoustics, for fish can be located by sound. -In fact, the committee thinks that if available instruments were improved it ought to be • possible to x1ore the depths of.. the sea for marine organisms and to estimate their size and number. Already a deep "scat- tring layer" , has been detected acoustically. It consists of a dense population of planktonic animals or fish that feed on planktons. There is every rea- son to believe thet at interme- diate depths fish. are as abundant as at the surface or on the bot- tom, where most commercial fishermen cast thein nets. . t::3 •a s oderation is best in all things /1 THEOGNIS (65 Century LC.)
