y H © social organizations tainly working hard--and .doing FGINGERFARM Gwendoline DP Clarke Last Saturday was the day of our County Fair. It was a grand day and a grand fair--so every- one was happy. And what was different about this fair? Well, for one thing it was its Hun- dredth Anniversary; it. had also ~ enlarged its acreage so there was more parking space. And of course, in every department, the exhibits "were bigger and better than ever." The arrange- ment for showing the exhibits had also been ¢hanged and greatly improved. One thing that always impresses me is the amount of time and work that every fair, and cvery exhibit, represents. Hours spent in grooming and handling every type.of livestock, but particular- ly cattle.- One needs to be a real enthusiast to exhibit at a fair, local . or otherwise. ~ Thinking this we looked at the exhibits in the Women's Division, and we looked at the showrings, and we wondered which represented thie greater amount 'of work -- of man-hout's. and woman-hours. An unanswerable question, of answer one wouldn't dare give "it! But I know one thing -- the various groups who were oper- ating refreshment booths for were cer- a great business. But back to the exhibits.

That was real- ly something. Of course there were the usual entries--or may- be more than the usual 'num- ber--from the boys and girls calf clubs; and there were the showrings and the expert hand- ling of livestock by the young people themselves, In addition to that the Junior Farmers had erected their own tent for their own exhibits, Here was the evi- dence of the work done by .the various groups throughout the county during the year . , . sewing clubs, handicraft centres, wool products, Hope-chest--old and new; Christmas gifts, garden clubs, nutrition lunches and many other exhibits. There were also two striking demons strations in relief artistry, one illustrating the value of good breeding stock and showing the proper method of keeping milk- ing records; the other shoying the effects of soil: erosion and how the picture could be chang- ed over a period of years re- forestation and contour plough- ing. Certainly there must- have been wonderful leadership in these : groups of young rural people" -- and also very active member participation. = = 7 We came away from the tent with a feeling of pride in our Canadian farm boys and girls. And then we were confronted with "a large sign--'4-H Club ADIAN work -- why hang on it an American label? .

Of even greater interest was an honest-to-goodness treadmill, in use from 1850 and still in work- ing_order. used to be operated by horses continually walking the treads ito provide power for threshing grain.
