Fair Time Highlights By the Ful -O -Pep Reporter In reply to numerous requests we would like to repeat here that the pictures shown on these pages . may be obtained from the Ful -O -Pep photographer. His address is 123 Eighteenth Street, New Toronto, Ontario. There has been a good deal of interest shown in these pages and a number of questions have been ask- ed, .some of which we would tike to answer here. T he favourite ques- tion seems to be this, "You took our picture at the fair. Why was it not shown in the paper?" The answer to this is that there have been a good number of pictur- es taken which could not be used because of the Lack -of space on the page. We have tried to select the pictures which would be of interest to the greatest number of people, and we have had to leave out some ethers. f you know your picture was tak- en and you have not seen it here then you can still get a print of it by writing in to the Ful -O -Pep Photo- grapher at the above address.

The worried -looking men you see going around the grounds with "Official" ribbons on their coats have always good cause to look worried. Sometimes the ex- hibitors are apt to forget that their particular event and their particular part of it must be fitted into the general picture of the fair. Some- times it is even necessary to make one person suffer a little so that the fair can be run at all. Sometimes we think it is a miracle that anyone is pleased but generally speaking the exhibitors and con- testants are all in their best Fall Fair humour and manage to see everything in a proper light. The liorbearance of the Farmers who ex- hibit in these chows as web as the efficiency of the fair executive is responsible for the success of the lairs. When credit is being given both sides of the question should be kept In mind.
