This week yonr FUL-O-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-
nual exhibition.
The crowds were gay and colorful.
The atmosphere friendly. The mid-
way offered a variety of entertain-
ment. The ferris wheel, the Merry -go
round, • the scooter ride, the rocket=
sensation,—all did a roaring busi-
ness. The high pressure salesman
ship of the C.N.E. was missing and
this was all to the good. 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
the centre of • attraction for many. In
this line N. L. Turner of Blenheim
had a fine exhibit which drew large
numbers of rttral 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
FUI..-O-PEP would be in greater
supply and bow it had been possible
to maintain the same high quality
during these hectic years of general
shortages. It was a real pleasure
to point 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
the part of the manufacturer to use
inferior. ingredients. As a result
FtJL-O4P'EP is ttilI a feed second
- to none, a feed in which -quality has
not been sacrificed for quantity.
The Tri County Sbortl.orn Club
deserves congratulations for a job
well done and President Peter Cam-
eron, as well as Treasurer S. W.
Pearce and Secretary J. C. McKinlay
can indeed bo •' . of the c11ih's
contribution to the fair. 1111

ORT PERRYtt ging of title of the classes of the Black
Ari White Club (Holstein) entries were the biggest ever„
The yongsters 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 in-
clined 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 crowds were in a festive
mood and the children were eagerly
exploring the myteries of the mid-
way.

The Port Perry Fair more than
maintained its reputation as one of
the outstanding Ontario Fairs. Your
Reporter *as particularly interested
in the showing put on by the Black
and White Club (Holsteins) and
entries were the biggest ever with
a total of 123 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 was
shown.
One of the highlights of interest
was the pony race. Unfortunately
our local entries were not able to
beat the Leggette entries from
Oshawa who have been staking a
regular clean-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 bad the weatherman
was not kinder to the large crowds
that turned out but even the wea-
therman couldn'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 Johns; Anson
Gerrow, Armour McMillan, iirrt
Vice President, Ben Smith, Dick
Woon, Secretary Treasurer, Lloyd
Lee, Frank Honey, Earl Martyn,
Gar net 'Cochrane and James L.
Crane in their untiring efforts in
making the Fair this year the 1•e•,t
ever.
Summer is the best time to carry
out cleaning and repairs of the heat-
ing system in the home.

For a 'Shut M Int'
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.
"I'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 expressing 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!"
