Easier To Criticize Than To Improve In a vast enterprise like the Royal Winter Fair, covering hundreds of different activities, there are almost. bound to crop up incidents or hap- penings which lend themselves to criticism: People are prone to single out such incidents for talk, and daily newspapers — ever on the out- look for something sensational — tend to magnify them far beyond their actual importance. Wouldn't it be better, and more constructive, if those who noticed things at the Royal Winter Fair which they thought could be im- proved were to write the Directors, frankly stating their views. On the whole those responsible for this great annual event have done a mag- nificent —. one in .wh'ch all Can- ada can take pride — ard we feel they would welcome such opinions as a guide to even greati.r and bevel thin ,!..s in the futur..: Western Boys Win Valuable Cattle Two Western lads went home from the Royal Winter Fair with prizes valued at a couple of thousand dollars — but which may prove, in years to come, worth many times that much to them. For outstanding progress in junior dairy work, the Judges named Robert E. Brack, Clark's Crossing, Sask, winner of "Glenafton L. Holly Sylvia", a Holstein heifer calf bred by J.J. McCague of Glenafton Farm, Al- liston, Ont, and presented by the Ful -O -Pep Feed Division of the Quaker Oats Company. The heifer's sire is "Rag Apple Talisman" whose dam is full sister to four timeAll American "Montvic Rag Apple Bon- heur." Her dam was nominated as All Canadian 2 -year old in 1945, and was first Canadian cow in her class at the 1947 Royal Winter Fair. Judged to be top-ranking junior beef cattle worker, Harold Lees, Arcola, Sask. was awarded a valu- able Hereford heifer sired by the same bull that sired all the Grand Champions of the 1946 Royal for John Stuart Jr., Old Orchard Farms, Peterboro.
