And what was different about 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 atthe 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 Y*0 dt) /� R44763 12-20; 40 41114 Want a "Go -Everywhere" dress for now and through fall?

That was real- ly something. OE -course there were' the usual entries—or may- be more than the usual num- ber—from the boys and girls calf clubs; and there were the showrings and the expert hand- ling of livestock 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 the work 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- strations 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 1911 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 aeadmill 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 hundred years ago. Of course, other highlights of e 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 get up on Sunday morning, And 1.,nf fro booklet and names of neighbours who nisd!i' tentifi' to the atnaema restate of thin non habit enrming rernwiy. write Kinn 1'hannnenl Corn.Ltd., One els. Landau, Oth ISSUE 42 — 1952 BEAUTY WHIRLS BRIGHT BATON do you know what? We got a letter from Bob witil news that seemed almost incredible, He arrived at a point about 150 miles north of Edmonton on Tuesday at noon, after leaving here at noon the previous Thursday. Driving, as I think I have told you before. The speed with which people get front one place to another these days has me almost bewildered. Bob set off on his trip as casual- ly as if he were leaving for Tor- onto. No one seems very far away any more. When Bob first spoke of going to Alberta it seemed like the end of the earth. Now I realize that if we wanted him in a hurry we could send a wire and he could be home in less than a week. Weather permitting, I should add. There is always the weather to con- sider. ' Winged Topper — Airline ste- wardess Sandra S. Faber models a much -traveled topper. The hat was started on its way by an unknown sender, who put a tag on it reading: "Please retain for one day. Then dispatch to next airport—any airport. Return to Johannesburg, South Africa." On the hat are signatures and customs stamps indicating the hat has traveled all over Africa, through Europe, South America, Central America and now the U.5. It is on its way to the West Coast so it can start through Asia. on'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 points out 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 of 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 by 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 explore the depths of the sea for marine organisms and to estimate their size and number. Already a deep "scat- tying layer" has been detected acoustically. It consists of a dense population of planktonic animals or fish that feed on plankton. There is every rea- son to believe that at interme- diate depths fish are ds abundant as at the surface or on the bot- tom, where most commercial fishermen cast their nets. HEADDRESSES: REAL, .NATURAL, ARVSTIIC Man competes with nature in creating original headdresses to beautify faces of lovely ladies round the world. Best in the business is Hollywood and one of the film capital's proudest products (1) is a "replica" of Cleopatra's headdress. It is shown curving over curls of Rhonda Fleming who plays the Egyptian Queen in the movie "Serpent of the Nile." Nature, not fo be outdone by man,,points to plumes (2) of Paris Zoo's Tufted Goura pigeon. Artistic headdress (3) patterned after those used in Hindu dances, is worn by solo -water -ballet -star Beulah Gundling, considered one of the world's best.
