Summer officially ends this
month. We conclude the season
with what we call fall fairs, From
August to October, our calendars
are filled with large and small
fairs.
Most of the exhibitions follow
an accepted pattern, but each
boasts of something unique. All
the events stress one thing—fun.
While the fairs in the larger
centres draw well-known per-
formers for their grandstand
shows, the smaller towns rely on
local talent to entertain the
Crowds.
Most fairs begin with a parade
weaving through the streets of
the town, Baton twirlers lead the
procession followed by a brass
band or Scottish bagpipes. The
local dignitaries are transported
by horse and buggy, in an antique
car or in a new convertible.
,Clydesdale draft horses,
palomino riding horses and
Shetland ponies prance along the
route. Clowns and kids pedaling
decorated bicycles dart here
and there.
Many floats exhibit an
historical theme. For example, a
replica of the extinct outhouse
Miss Letts of Blyth gave a
reading "Does anyone ever laugh
in this house".
Mrs. McGregor reported for
the Craft Room and the
Treasurer gave her report.
The Fall Bazaar will be held on
Wednesday November 6 and the
Auxiliary decided to have an
Apron Table at the Bazaar.
Members will contribute aprons
for this and the Women's
Institutes will be asked to con-
tribute one or more aprons as
well. Further plans for the
Bazaar will be made at the
September and October
meetings,

Autumn years
UCW theme
"How will you accept the
autumn of your life"?, this was
the theme of the program when
the Exeter Evening UCW
played host to the afternoon UCW
at a smorgasbord supper with
over 100 attending.
Unit leader Mrs. Carol Willard
was in charge, assisted Mrs.
Mary Ellison and Mrs. Fran
Shaw,
Two films were shown. The
first was entitled "Porkchop"
and was based on a small com-
munity in Toronto that looked
after, loved and mourned a
retarded gentleman. The second
film, called "Togetherness",
showed the feelings of an elderly
couple and how they did and
didn't accept their life in a senior
citizen's home, The film was
followed by an open group
discussion and suggestions on
how we as a church group and as
iidzvidual citizens can prepare,
ourselves to help 'Others and
accept our own autumn 'years.
A short business period
followed for each unit with
preparations being discussed for
entries to the Exeter Fall Fair.
The bazaar will be held on
November 16 and a general
meeting on November 25.
almost 100 years old.
Mrs. George Sereda, president
of the ladies division of the
Agricultural Society said her
organization is looking forward to
a good turnout.
The prize list will be basically
the same as last year and can be
picked up from her or at the T-A
office.
She encouraged ladies to enter
the flower classes even though
weather hasn't been ideal for
those entries.
"We love to have a lot of en-
tries," she said. A baking and
sewing queen will be chosen,
There will also be a junior baking
and sewing queen for girls from
14 to 20.
The Exeter Fair queen contest
is also a good opportunity for the
girls she said. The winner goes to
the C.N.E. next year to compete
with all the other fair queens.
There will also be a special
prize for a man's and boy's
tailored knit jacket with the prize
donated by Polka Dot.

The Ladies Auxiliary held their
regular monthly meeting in the
Craft Room at Huronview on
Monday August 19 at 2:30 p.m.
Mrs..$cratch, the Editor of the
Huronview News Magazine
distributed copies of the Summer
edition to each member present
and copies will be sent to each
Women's Institute, There is a
certain amount of expense in-
volvedinprodueing the magazine
and no allocation was included in
the Huronview Budget when it
was prepared as the magazine
wasn't being published at that
time. After some discussion it
was decided to. apply for a "New
Horizons Grant" from the
Government to cover the cost of
publication until a new Budget is
prepared.
Roll Call was answered by
members from Blyth, Clinton,
Hensall, Kippen East and Lon-
desboro.
The Members decided to

conducted on horseback.
In front of the barns, the dairy
and beef cattle, the sheep and the
swine are groomed, paraded and
judged. Nearby a thresher,
Powered by a steam engine,
demonstrates the old-fashioned
farm labour. The modern
machines parked in the
background provide a dramatic
contrast.
The arts, crafts and homemade
baking are displayed in a large
building, perhaps an arena.
Hand-stitched quilts, knitted
baby sweaters and bootees, oil
paintings of familiar landmarks,
baskets of fruits and vegetables
and bouquets of flowers line the
walls.
On the tables, the plates of
muffins, biscuits, tarts, cookies,
pies, cakes, brownies and candies
tempt the passers-by. If we're
lucky, we might be able to pur-
chase some of the baking.
Upstairs proud mothers enter
their youngsters in the baby
contest. Most of the babies seem
disinterested; some fall asleep,
Before the day ends, the
average fair-goer shakes dust
from his clothes, dumps sand
from his sneakers and rubs
cinders from his eyes. That too is
part of a typical country fair,
Most of us agree, though, fall
fairs are a great way to wind-up
the summer.

wagon carries teenage girls
wearing pony tails and bobby
socks.
After the parade enters the fair
grounds, the crowd pours in and
drifts from one spectacle to
another.
Naturally the kids flock to the
midway and the hot dog stand.
All afternoon, the merry-go-
round and the ferris wheel roll,
the carousel music plays and the
aroma of frying wieners, hot
buttered popcorn and french fries
floats on the air, The sugary
sweetness of the pink candy floss
delights many tongues.
Balloons of yellow, orange,
green, red and blue bob
everywhere. An occasional pop
startles a few folks and sends a
worried youngster scurrying to
buy another balloon.
Meanwhile square dancers,
step dancers and highland
dancers perform on an outdoor
platform. Behind the stage, two
tug-of-war teams strain, while
the spectators chant "Pull! Pull!
Pull!"
Horses, ponies, bicycles and
mini-bikes race around a sandy
track. In the centre of the track,
the horses walk, trot, canter, turn
and back up during the per-
formance class. Musical rides,
barrel and flag races are also
