BAYFIELD FALL FAIR WILL
be held Tuesday = Wednesday
September 28-29, not on Augus
24-25, as we announced a fort-
night ago , The 'latter dates
announced by the Department,
were decided upon originally, but
later were changed due to un-
forseen circumsatnces . The
most important reason for not
having the Fair in August, des-
pite the summer residents, is the
excellent School Fair which has
been built up in recent years . , .
It would be too bad to abandon
IN THESE STIFLING HOT
days, with the new dog -banning
bylaw in effect, it is to behoped
that the cooped -up dogs are pro-
vided
rovided with plenty of water and
food . . Norm Counter, well-
known jeweller, makes this sug-
gestion and also adds that this
also should go for the birds .. .
The idea seems to have much
merit .
