Start. of the'first race of the year with the new Mobile gate. Winner of the first, Lonella Gratton, 2.17%. 111 by Your Ful -O -Pep Reporter 0 i gel 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 —Photo by Ful-O-Ptp Photographer 1t -M-M — You can see that we were wasting our time looking at cattle and other exhibits at the Fair. This is one of the many line samples of cooking and other exli.ibits sho;vn by our good ladies. --Photo by Full -O -Pep Photographer 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. 11 ell }Perry 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. — Photo by Full -O -Pep Photographer Ridgetown. — Black Minorka Cock bird owned by John Mitchell of Glencoe, winner of its class.

IO 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!"
