OlNIRI This is the time of year when the farmer is harvesting his crops and the Leaves are taking on their autumn hues It is the sea son of falLfairs and fall plowing matches Most of the fall fairs in this district have been concluded The larger centres such as Barrie and Collingwood and Midland and Orilliaall had splendid fairs this year with outstanding exhibits of produce and live Stock But it was in the smaller fairs that the country fair atmosphere was so Warm ly evident At Oro and Beeton and Elmvaie and the school fairs there were gatherings that were largely rural The urban visitors tuthe country fairs wurc for the most part former residents But both groups the town fairs and the country fairs were admirable reflections of the harvest from the fine farms of the district This month the fall plowing lllillLlltSitli being held Like the fall fairs lbcy are feature of life in rural Ontario and they serve it useful purpOsc in the community The friendly holiday atmosphere vitli friend greeting friend at the fall fair and the fall plowing match is as important to the stic ccss of the events as the competitors and entries in the various events CANADIAN INSTITUTION For those who like surefire bet wed like to suggest the Canadian fall fair it cant miss This perennial phenomenon which springs up bright with promise whenever harvest season rolls around in rural communities across the country is remarkably hardy plant It flourishes regardless of rain heat or cold good crops or poor ones Its as in fallible as autumn itself Because of its vitality the fall fair has become an institution One can as soon im agine year passing without Easter bonnets Thanksgiving turkey or Christmas trees as imagine year without fall fair About the only explanation we can find for this is in the hearts of people themselves they like fall fairs and have made them community project In preparation for the big event the farmer polishes his rosiest apples grooms his sleek sow with thoughts of red ribbons running through his head and perhaps gives Bess an early morning workout in readiness for the big harness race His good wife shines up jars of new fruit and preserves and hopes the vegetables in her garden will be at their best for judging Grandmother puts the finishing touches tof that masterpiece of needlework and the youngsters feed their prize calves an extra ration of bran mash And in the town or village farmers and townsfolk get together to plan the big affair local business men prepare their exhibits and the editor of the weekly newspaper fills hisopages with forecasts of the best fair yet What does the community get out of all this preparation Far more we think than they put into it There are the new ideas which farmers gain from comparison and from talking to experts on hand to help them Theres higher standard of production engendered by the friendly competition And of course theres the gaiety and good times of this welcome break from routine But above all the fall fair brings together folk from town and country giving each sense of the others essential worth and im portance and uniting all in the realization that they are members of the same com munity FINE GESTURE BY HOCKEY CLUB Officials of Barrie Flyers Hockey Club made fine gesture when they arranged an exhibition game at the Arena Saturday night Sept 24 with net proceeds going to the Barrie Collegiate Concert Band As result the Band has received gnearly $600 from this match which saw the Barrie club divid ed into tWO squads playing against each oth er It is hoped to make

Printer at Ottawa is conduct int campaign to encourage the people of Canada to subscribe to Ilansard and other official papers which are issued during each session of lilarliamcnt Although Canadians are taking more and more interest in political and public affairs there are still many who do not even know of the existence of Hansard As record of the work being done by constittiencys rc presciitativc in the House of Commons Ilan sarti is the fittest of all sources of informa tion it gives verbatim report of the pro eecdings of the House providing plain facts including th answers to questions asked by members and is therefore authoritative in its presentation For the citizen who wishes to be well informed on federal affairs there could be no better guidebook than Ilansard It is at times heavy Hiding During an average session of Parliament it runs to about six million words But it is vital read ing for the citizen who takes his duties and responsibilities seriously Mailed daily to its subscribers it costs three dollars year and sending this would be well if more people read Hansard regularly There would then be less danger of politicians fooling the public when election time comes around SCHOOL FOR BANKERS Twohundred eminent bankers from 35 countries are taking part in summer school British Institute of Bankers Thescliool will last ten days During that time most aspects of world trade and finance will be discussed EDITORIAL NOTES For the first five months of the current fiscal year corporation taxes paid to Ottawa according to the Financial Post are up bout 25 over last year Newspapers have but two things to sell space and subscription says an Ontario weekly and it would be just as consistent to ask your grocer for dozen oranges just to fill up as to ask publisher for dozen lines in the paper to boost business or some project whereby the promoters 0r sponsors will realize revenue with the idea that you aregdoing kindness in helping to fill up space Try to get free dinner at the hotel or restaurant or few gallons of gas atythe service station just to fill up In Victoria BC flower baskets perched on the lamp standards attracted the attention

plinsis bung given to the provis ion of an itltquatc diet for grow ing boys Many people ask the piestion Why should my boy join the Air Cadets and of what use is the type of training he will rcccive To begin with the sole aim of the Air Cadet movement is to provide source of citizenship training for Canadian youth and the traili in is not military in any sense of the word GOOD CITIZENSHIP Tllltu of the main essentials of good citizenship and perhaps the three basic fundamentals of good citizenship are 1Obediencc to authority obedience to inc laws of God and of man 2Ability to get along in bar mony with your associates at all social levels 3le acquisition of the fac ulty of leading and directing others Looking at these three things in the light of Air Cadet training we find that Cadets are trained in the first principle named every time they wear their uniform They learn obedience to com mand on the drill square and in the lecture room and they learn to respect the orders and com inands of their superiors DEMOCRATIC EXISTENCE Secondly 11 looking at the sec ond principle it is well to point out that cadets in uniform live an extremely democratic existence They are quartered together they eat together and they play to gether Any boy who is shy or spoiled or who has never learned that to receive friendship friend ship must be given soon gets tagged and finds himself left out of things extracurricular to the training program It usually only takes week to make this type of lad realize he must get along with the crowd and the training he thus receives in learn ing to associate with others is in valuable to him Finally being an Air Cadet helps point the way to the acquisi tion of the art of leadership As reward for prowess either written or oral or perhaps on the drill square the cadet reCeives promo tion and with the promotion comes authority and with the authority comes responsibility He finds himself in charge of the squadron canteen funds or perhaps in front of group on the drill square As Fine summer Weather The Grub doing great deal of mischief to the crops little rain Grub destroying everything Employed plant ing potatoes Fine dry warm weather Planting
