It was the only 'fair'
Called in to see my brother,
the other night, to find him
gathering his mats together
for a display at the local fair.
(He's the one who became a
'happy hooker' after he
retired). It reminded me that
it's time, once again, for all
the fall fairs that take place in
Ontario.
It was always a mystery to
me why these exhibitions
were called 'fair days', but a
little research informed me
that fairs date back a long
way in our human history. To
start with, as soon as man
learned to scratch up a piece
of land and drop in a few
seeds, he wanted to compare
what he had produced with
his neighbour in the next
cave. Still not satisfied, he
then wanted to compare and
exchange with the next tribe,
but since these tribes were
usually at war, a truce had to
be declared at the grounds
where they could compare
and exchange their produce.
The Irish, the Scottish and
the English are long-time
fair -goers, and in ancient
days held their expositions at
the grave -yards of long gone
kings. Il was against the law
to sue or arrest anyone on the
fairgrounds, and personal
possessions, being held to
cover a debt, had to be return-
ed during the time of the fair.
A message was read from the
king, urging the people to
'keep the king's peace and
make no fray, outcry, shriek-
ing or other noise'. There
were strict rules about honest
weights and measures; there
was to be no hokum pokum or
cheating, everything had to
be 'fair'. This, then; is the
history of our own fairs.
Well, I've attended quite a
few fairs, in my day, even
competed in a few, but there's
one that will be inscribed on
my memory, forever, I think.
District reps

It was many years ago,
when our youngest was a lit-
tle lad of six. His uncle had
given him a Batty rooster
and hen, King Henry and
Anne Bolen, gorgeous little
creatures, with lots of ma -
haste, he left the pen gate ajar
just long enough for Anne
Bolen to escape and go
scampering intoTed Pooley's
corn field, growing along the
back of our yard.
Answering his frantic cries
It seems
to me...
by Gwyn Whilsmith
jestic strut and gleaming
feathers. Braden had been
waiting, as patiently as he
could, all summer so he could
enter them in the fall fair.
The morning before fair -
day, dawned sunny and clear,
and he rushed out to feed the
banties, before helping his
dad build a crate to carry
them to the exhibition, next
day. In his excitement and
for help, we all rushed
out...Dad, Big Brother, the
dog, and me...to dash into the
dense forest of lush, green
corn, stumbling up the dark
rows, wet and heavy with tha
morning's dew, calling
wholeheartedly to Anne Bolen
to please return to us, once
more. Completely unsuc-
cessful, and drenched to the
skin, we straggled back to the
way to
house.
Braden, beside himself with
grief, sat down at the kitchen
table and burst into tears. My
own heart ached at his small -
boy despair and I longed to
comfort him and to say
something that would help. I
hugged his heaving shoulders,
"Braden, remember the song
we sing at Sunday School,
'God Sees the Little Sparrow
Fall?' Well, if God watches
over the sparrows, I'm sure
he'll watch over Anne Bolen,
too." He lifted his head, "Are
you sure?" he demanded, his
sobs decreasing.
"I'm sure."
"Will He bring her back''"
his brown eyes searched
mine.
"Well...," '1 hesitated.
"Let's say a little prayer
about that." We did, and he
dried his tears and even
managed a weak smile as he
went off to school.
At noon, he came bursting
in, "Is Anne Bolen back?"
"No, but there's still time."
finish
By four o'clock my own
faith was beginning to shake;
I dreaded meeting his ques-
tioning eyes when he came in
from school. Supper time was
a sombre affair, Braden con-
vinced that either my hot-line
to God had broken down or
that 'He' just didn't care
about poor, scared, lost Anne
Bolen. As he was going out to
feed King Henry, who was
pacing his pen nervously, the
phone rang, "Does your boy
have a Banty hen?"
"Yes!"
"Well, she's under my front
steps."
You can only imagine the
excitement of getting Anne
coralled and back with King
Henry, of Braden's exalta-
tion, "God did care, He real-
ly did", and the jubilation of
transporting them proudly to
the fair, on his old, red wagon.
And yes, the. story has an
even happier ending. King
Henry and his consort did
carry off first prize. It seem-
ed the only 'fair' way to finish.
TO MARRY Mr. and Mrs. Carl Nickles of
are pleased to announce the forthcoming marriage of
their daughter Carol Marie, to Kevin Windsor, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Max Windsor of Exeter. The candlelight
ceremony will be held on September 22, 1984 at 7:00
