Easier To Criticize
Than To Improve
In a vast enterprise. like the Royal
Winter Fair, covering hundreds of
different activities, there are almost
bound to crop up incidents or hap-
penings which lend themselves to
criticism. People are prone to single
out such incidents for talk, and
daily newspapers — ever on the out-
look for something sensational —
tend to magnify them far beyond
their actual importance.
Wouldn't it be better, and more
constructive, if those who noticed
things at the Royal Winter Fair
which they thought could be im-
proved wore to write the Directors,
frankly stating their views, On the
whble those responsible for this
groat annual event have done a mag-
nificent jr,t. - one in which all Ca't-
aria can take pride and we foe!
they would welcome such opinions
as a guide to even greatFr and hetet
