Dunlop Congratulations are extended to the Cold- water Fair Board for their excellent fair held last week. Not only were the exhibits of prime quality but the quantity was __astonishing...The Womens Institute exhibits were very attractive and numerous. The needlework section was full of all kinds of handwork _ beautifully done. The _ school exhibits had 1500 en- tries. The heaviest squash was 94 lbs., entered by Pam Bursey of Moonstone while the heaviest pumpkin 'weighing 46 lbs. was entered by Andy Brown of Warminster. The amount of baking displayed was tremendous both in number of entries and in quality. The com- mercial exhibits added both interest and colour and represented a great deal of work and time on the part of the exhibitors. The Womens Institute Booth in honour of the "Salute to the Institute in Ontario"? was very attractive. Not only did it have exhibits but demonstrations of crocheting by Evelyn Robertson and muffin making by Home Economist of Elmvale. The Fair was capably opened this year by Mrs. Clarence Diamond of New Hamburg the Provincial President of the Institute. Recognition and thanks must also be given to the young teenagers who helped set up the tables for exhibits among many other things, as well as to the Public School pupils who with garbage bag in hand cleaned the entire Fair grounds of litter. Altogether it produced a very suc- cessful fair. Good team work. On a travel tour there are always interesting experiences that we like to share with out friends. From a tour of Eastern Europe my thoughts centre on walls. From the early records we have learned that cities of that time built walls around the city proper. Farm lands would usually be outside but the homes would be inside. If the inhabitants wish to build a dwelling outside of the city walls and set up some type of enterprise that was their decision and their risk. If the enemy should come after nightfall they would be at his mercy. The walls were for protection from enemies to keep the adversary out. They were very high and very strongly built with lookout towers from which guards kept kept constant vigil. The old city of Quebec had a similar wallin our own country. The forts of the early settlers on our continent had the same idea "Keep the enemy out". The forts and walled cities were of limited size protecting an area varying from half an acre with walls 100 feet long and 15 feet high wade of upright poles sharpened like huge lead pencils, to cities enclosed by walls 2% miles long and 60 feet high, made of mud, brick and stone, with inner walls for ad- ditional defence. Now in our modern age the Great Wall of China, started in B.C. period of mud, stone and brick, still stands as a memorial of what China built to keep the bar- barians out. In Europe complete walls, portion of walls, and city gates are to be seen everywhere built hundreds of years ago for protection. But in this present age we also have a_ for- midable wall that ex- tends 856 miles to en- close Eastern Germany, built not to keep enemies out but to keep its citizens in. Instead of the inner walls of the old walled cities, it has inner protections of deep ditches, to deter movement of any motorized vehicles and barbed wirefences, complete with fragmentary bombs at head, chest and knee Minerva Madill to be delegate to Convention Allenwood By: Peggy Pain The October meeting of Allenwood W.I. was held at the home of Mrs. Percy Sims October 1. Our President welcomed 15 members. The meeting was opened by singing the Opening Ode, Mary Stewart Collect followed by the Lords Prayer. Minerva Madill gave a report on the District Director's meeting she attended. Minerva will be our voting delegate at the Area Convention in Elmvale, October 21- 22. Mrs. Len Haylow and Mrs. Percy Sims were in charge of the program on Tweed- smuir History. The Motto was - It is not the neutrals or the luke warms who make history". The Roll Call - "Name a vanishing landmark" was answered by everyone. Mrs. Sims told us the A rewarding venture Carol and Bob Ealey, operators of in Penetanguishene will be off to the Caribbean next spring. They were awarded the trip by the Bombardier company after Chalet Sports, selling 50 Ski-Doos in the first 11 days history of the Tiny Marsh and also showed picture's taken in our community soon to be put into our Tweed- smuir book. Our meeting was then adjourned. Mvdra Draper, Minerva Madill served lunch. The next will be will be held at the home of Peggy Pain in the evening Nov. 5. of September, an achievement which tied them for top sales in Ontario.

A cleared area of almost half a mile is regularly raked to show any footmarks. About 1 mile inside the border is a second 'fence similarly equipped with detection devices. The watch towers are built within sight of each other with guns pointing eastward. The wire fence is an- chored 3 feet un- derground to prevent tunnelling. In Berlin itself, this fence becomes a true cement wall about 9 ft. high with strands of electrified wire on the top. East Germans had been moving from East Germany to West Germany at the rate of 200,000 per year. In 1962, when the Berlin Wall was' erected, _ this number was reduced to approximately 5,700 and so far this year there have been only 147 escapes. A _ substantial elevated wooden platform has _ been constructed in West Berlin very close to the wall from which anyone can look over the wall into the cleared area of no mans land of the central section where tank traps bristle but no life stirs. A phone call from East to West Berlin may take as long as eight hours to receive. Death notifications of close friends or relatives are never received until long after the funeral has taken place. Once you have seen this wall and realize what it means to so many people you can never forget it. Pen Twin Theatres re Oct.8to11-7:15 2 OH HEAVENLY DOG plus THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK Sat.
