FAIRTIME HIGIiLIGHTS Ly Your 1'111 -0 -Pep Reporter Ridgetown This week your FL -0 -PEP re- porter left behind the "razzle-dazzle" of the C.N.E.and headed for the smaller towns of .Ontario. The first port of call was in Kent County where: the Ridgetown District Agri- cultural Society held their 93rd an- , moat exhibition. The crowd?; were gay and colorful. The atmosphere friendly. The mid- way offered a variety of entertain anent The ferris wheel, the \terry -go round, the scooter ride, the rocket - sensation, --all did a roaring busi- ness. The high pressure salesman ship of the C.N.R. was missing and this was all to the gond. The out of town visitor could hardly fail to notice the air of ownership which was general. The crowds on the mid- way, in the grandstand and the throngs visiting the various booths obviously felt that this was THEIR fair. The good natured neighbour- liness of the crowd emphasized this feeling of propritiorship. The farm iquipment display was t ie centre of attraction for many. In tiffs line, N. L. Turner of Blenheim had a fine exhibit which drew large numbers of rural residents who were obviously combining business with pleasure. In the Tri County Shorthorn Club Tent the talk as usual concerned feeds and feeding problems. Your Reporter was repeatedly asked when Ft'L-0-P1:P would be in greater supply and how it had been•possible to maintain the same high quality during these hectic years of general shOrtdges. It was a real pleasure' to neint out that the main reason that FUL-O-PEP was still a little difficult to obtain in some areas was because of the absolute refusal on thepartof the manufacturer to use inferior ingredients, As a result FDL -0 -PEP is still a feed second to none, a feed in which quality has not been sacrificed for quantity. The Tri County Shorthorn Club deserves congratulations for a joh well done anti President Peter Cam- eron, as well as Treasurer S. W. Pearce and Secretary •f. C. McKinley* can indeed 1 of the club's contribution to the fair. 1111 —Photo by Ful -O -Pep Photographer M=M -M — You can see that we were feasting our time looking at cattle and other exhibits at the Fair. This is one of the many -fine samples of cooking and other exhibits shown by our good ladies. The yougsters were far too busy to think of regular meals and con- sumed huge quantities of "pop" and hot-dogs. The elders did their share in this line, too, but were more M- aned to patronize the booth set up by the Beechwood Women's Insti- tute where Dinners and lunches were served on both days of the fair, From Ridgetown your :reporter travelled across country to Port Perry where yet another fair was in full swing. Here, as at Ridgetown, the atmosphere was gay and plea- sant. The crowdswere in a festive mood and the children were eagerly exploring the myteries of the mid- way, Pert Perry 'flit: Port Perry Fair more than maintained its reputation as one of the outstanding Ontario Fairs, Your Reporter was particularly interested in the showing put on by the Black and White Club (Holsteins) and entries were the biggest ever with a total of 129 and the efforts of this Club is to be commended for the. work they have done in improving the breed as was evidenced by the high quality of rattle that eves Shown, One of the highlights of interest was the pony race. Unfortunately our local entries were not able to beat the Leggctte entries from Oshawa who have been making a regular dean -up this Season in Fall Fairs. Bob, Billy and David Leg- gette walked away with the honors. Next year we hope the local en- tries will have their revenge in this popular event. It was too batt the weatherman was not kinder to the large crowds that turned out but even the wea- therman'couliltn't dampen their en- thusiasm and a good time was had by all. Other details about the Fair in- cluding prize winners will be found elsewhere in your paper. In closing we would like to con- gratulate the Fair Board headed by Fred G. Christie, President and ably supported by :Alex Joints: Anson Gcrrow, Armour McMillan, first 'Vice President, Ben Smith, Dick Woon, Secretary Treasurer, Lloyd Lee, Frank Honey, I arl Martyn, Garnet Cochrane and Ionics L, Crane in their untiring efforts in making the Fair this year the beta. ever.

For a 'Shut - In' At the "We Have a Card for Every Occasion" counter of a large department store, says Readers' Digest, the clerk asked the woman standing beside me what he could do for her. -- "1'm afraid you haven't any- thing that will do," she said, "I've looked- all these cards over." 'Madam," said the clerk, "we have greeting cards for every- thing, What kind do you want?" The woman hesitated, then lean- ed forward and said in a low voice: "My brother has just been sent to jail;- and I want to send him a card repressing my regret." The clerk thought a moment, ,then reached among the cards "For the Sick" and handed her one. It read: "Sorry to hear you are a shut-in. Hope you get out soon!"
