The cynic is wrong, dead wrong. Exeter Fair and every other rural fair belongs to the community where it is located. It is a place to go and meet your friends and neighbors, to gossip, to exchange views and opinions, to take the children FREE, have fun and last but not least—to show what you can do and have done on your farm, in your business and in your home by EXHIBITING. The directors and officials of Exeter Agricultural Society, to give it the official name, are a group of civic and public-minded men who work without pay or remuneration of any kind, to organize and carry out plans that have been brewing since Septem­ ber 1952 when they held the last big fair. The 19 53 fair being held the Wednesday and Thursday follow­ ing Western Fair, i.e. September 23 and 24, promises to ibe better than ever. Thirty-five hundred dollars in prize monies are being offered to attract exhibitors. A midway is going to be there. A feature attraction will be the performance in front of the grandstand the night before the fair, that is on September 23. The pies, the cakes, the handi­ craft, the fruits and vegetables, etc. make it something worth­ while seeing. But what few people see ex­ cepting the parents is the School Fair held the morning of Sep­ tember 24. At this time of the day, about 10 a.m.,-. is one of the best shows of the fair. No professional exhibitor was ever more in earnest than the boys and girls who show the results O'f a summer’s work. Sometimes the calves don't always perforin to the best advantage. Sometimes they wouldn’t take first prize at the ibig stock shows, bqt they are the beginning perhaps of. 4H Club and the future the community. In the afternoon brothers and sisters years) hold their Achievement Day for the 4H Clubs. The ave­ rage fair patron sometimes misses this outstanding section of the fair. To me this is the most important work carried on by the society. True the large ex­ hibit of purebred stock is nice to look at. These men love to win like all human beings, but they don’t have the appeal of a well- trained, well-groomed calf shown by a local boy or girl. This need not be necessarily an expensive individual. The “ideal calf being of the standard of the cattle kept on the farm where the exhibitor lives. We heartily and justly con­ demn the parent who buys a “hobby calf” -for his son or daughter. The parent is either ashamed of his stock or he is a poor sport when his stock is not placed in top position in the show ring. If he is a good and honest stockman, no matter where the judge may say by his placing that day he will have either learned something or have con­ tempt for the judge’s opinion. (Tell it at a directors meeting, so that they won’t get the same darn fool again.) Too many people think that when a girl’s calf is placed class that this boy or girl is top in his club. Never were they more wrong, Less than half the points awarded them are secured farmers of their older (12 to 21 at the fair boy’s or a first in its News of Kirkton By MRS.

Only one car can be the favorite! Only one car can be the most-sought, most-bought car in Canada! That car, year-in, year-out, is Chevrolet. In the first six months of 1953, accord­ ing to the latest official registration figures, Canadians bought 41,660 Chevrolets. This is 12,401 more cars than were sold by its nearest competitor — dramatic proof of Canada's continuing preference for Chevrolets! The tremendous popularity of Chevrolet means lower production costs. It means big savings that are passed on to you! And because Chevrolet value lasts, there are extra dollars for you when you-trade in your Chevrolet, for Chevrolet consistently shows highest trade-in values of any car in Canada! Final proof of good value is the loyalty of Chevro­ let drivers, a loyalty that grows stronger with every new year —with every great Chevrolet we build. Although other cars are available, thousands of Canadians are wait­ ing patiently to get their Chevrolet, No other car will do! Surely this is proof of Chevrolet's superiority . » . and its unchallenged place in the heads of Canadian motorists. C-2053C Phone 100 Snell Bros. Limited CHEVROLET — OLDSMOBILE — CHEV TRUCKS Exeter
