PAISLEY FAI TIME GHL GHTS Ly Your Ful -O -Pep Reporter Paisley, Parkhill, Norwich anis Glencoe were points of call on your Ful -O -Pep reporter's schedule last week. As usual the cattle exhibits caught this reporter's eye and at Paisley, "Jarvis Britisher \Iischief," half brother of the Grand 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 Bill Townsend, Ex-R.C.A•F. The exhibit staged by the school children of Paisley was .bigger than ever. There were over 1000 entries in the "Palace," their excellent show building. There were no cattle clubs shown as such but there were general entries of Shorthorns, Hereford, Angus and Holstein. The Paisley Fair was blessed with grand weather, unlike that experi- enced at Hamburg. The cut to the right -shots an over-all shot of the Hamburg midway, with the race track. 111 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 swarming with sightseers. Boxing was featured in the evening at the Town Hall and this attraction was very popular. The Norwich Fair was opened by the Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Mr. Cliff Graham.

PARKHILL Photograph by your Ful•{. -Pep Pho,.igrot4n.r. The cut at the left could well be entitled "The Beginning and the End." Actually it is a cont - positive picture showing the winner of one of the most popu- lar contests at Norwich. The un- happy porker shown in the left of the photo is being greased prior to being 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 the 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 ottr reporter of the Saturday morning rusk one sees in front of many of the meat counters in 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 uligreas- ed piece of pig in any of the city butcher shops, Tise pig in question put up a struggle in the best tradition and succeeded in degreasing itself on the shirts and bodies of the eager contes- tants.

C, P.. May, London; Airs. W. 3. Dickson. .Parkhill; Mrs. Al. W. Telfer, Parkhill; and Miss Ethel Dobson, Denfield, judging one of the many entries in the bak- ing contest. The other photo snapped by your • Ful-cy-Tela photographer shows a calf and Ps owner do- ing a little research on- the food problem. This shpt could well be Panted "Ful-O-PepeMeal •fine.” This i, •one of the more fortunate animals whose owner, Air, Verne Ilarris, was able to. secure for it the very hest 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. • - T1Cc 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 hit. The hors' Cali Club was very active. Probably the biggest drawing card was the rattle exhibit, par- ticularly the Shorthorn entries.
