L FAIRTIME IN ONTARIO
FAMTIME HIGHLIGHTS
By Your Ful -O -Pep Reporter
To countless thousands throughout the world, the
name 'Erin' is just another, and more poetic way of saying
Ireland—one that comes handy to sentimental son.
niters and radio tenors.
But to multitudes in all parts of Ontario—including,
of course, your Ful -O -Pep Reporter—Erin means some-
thing entirely. different. It stands for one of the very
loveliest of all our beauty spots; and when word comes
that the Erin Fall Fair is on the cards, your reporter
always plans for a very early start towards Wellington
County.
That your Ful -O -Pep Reporter is not alone in his
appreciation of Rural Ontario on Show—and at its best—
will be seen from some of the shots our camera -man made
while there. Favored by ideal weather, the Erin Fall Fair
was a huge success as viewed from any angle; and those
esponsible for it are deserving of our heartiest congratu-
lations.

Gromyko said "No". Our staff photographer `Shot' this picture
of an impressive but somewhat dour -looking beast, but quite
neglected to tell us its name, or that of its owner. Possibly
some of our readers, who saw it at one .of Ontario's Fall Fairs,
niay be able to, identify it.

enjoyable and profitable day recently.
THE LADY HAD NO ANSWER
At one of the many Ontario Fall Fairs visited by your
rul-O-Pep reporter, he happened to arrive in Agricultural
Hall just at a crucial moment. With scores standing
around, intensely interested, the Judges were pondering
their decision between two giant squashes, final survivors
of the preliminary trials.
Then from the rear came a voice—one of those
feminine voices styled to try and make you think of mink
coats, exotic perfumes, and general superiority.
"Oh, Herbert, isn't it just too quaint," said the voice,
"all these people bothering their heads about the size of
idiotic things like squashes !"
There was a brief pause — then came the drawling
voice of one of the Judges, "Sorry to contradict you, lady,"
it said, "but if as much attention was paid to the improve-
ment of squash as there is to atomic bombs—well, maybe
you wouldn't be sitting as pretty, but it would be a whole
lot better world."
And that was that!

Smart Cow
We were delighted to get this
story from a reader in rural Ohio.
It seems he recently arranged to
have •his aged mother cared for in a
nursing home, where he has been
visiting her twice a week. Each time
he brings her a special lunch from
the farm, including a thermos bottle
of milk in which he slips a little
brandy—on advice of the family
doctor.
The lady is always delighted with
the lunches, and the other day, as
she sipped the milk, she said grave-
ly, "Oh, Larry, don't ever sell that
cow!" —This Week.
The Meaning
The teacher was trying to ex-
plain the meaning of certain words
to her class. She came to "suffi-
dent."
"Now," she said brightly, "sup-
pose there was a cat here and I
gave it a saucerful of milk, which
it drank, Then I gave it another
saucerful, and it drank it all, But
when I gave it a third it would
only drink half of it. We can then
say that the cat had sufficient.
Now, Tommy, what is the meaning
of sufficient?"
"Please, teacher," said Tommy
eagerly, "catful of milk."

"Ma wants to know can she borrow LI package of crisp,
delicious Grape -Nuts Rakes until tomorrow?"
"Sure thing, Ukluk, we always
keep an igloo full of malty -rich,
sweet -as -a -nut Post's Grapo-Nuts
Flakes."
"Brother, we can use that good
nourishment in Post's Grape -Nuts
Flakes: carbohydrates for energy;
proteins for muscle; phosphorus for
teeth and bones; Iron for the blood;
other food essentials."
"Those two golden grains, wheat
and malted barley sure are cleverly
blended, baked and toasted to
achieve that glorious flavor and
honey -golden crispness of Post's
Grape -Nuts Flakes."
"Know what? We're going tO
cook up some cookies and muffins
too, from those recipes on. the Post's
Grape -Nuts Flakes package. Better
make it the big economy size."
