the tribune stouifville onu thursday june 12 1952 fair time the same the world over by georgr abell of stouffville its been a great week for the small fry- reason being that there has been a spate of fairs and other amusements in the neighbor hood and as usual the smaller and more active members of the clan abell have talked the old codgers into putting in an appearance at all of them at the beginning of may three weeks ago the billboards bloom ed with multicolored posters announcing the arrival of a travel ling carnival for a three day stand the following week in a vacant lot at the edge of town if you could have walked with us through the lanes of gaily colored booths the night it opened you wfculd find the scene no different to that of any similar fair in canada merry-go-round- ferrls- wheels dodgem cars same games in the booths and the crowds look the same as the crowds in town for a street dance in stouifville or on the exhibition midway hut your ears would soon identify the location not altogether from any difference of speech for tone and accent in surrey are on the aver age no different to the tones and accents of markham township the difference is in certain phrase- and words the most noticeable to a stranger being those to k with money admission to most rides and game- is a tanner six pence for children and a bob 1 shilling for adults change for a nicker pound note is given in half dollars half crown pieces value two shillings and six pence because a little browny itenshilling note may be put away to be wasted next day on things like food or rent the main attraction here was a hoop throw ing game with gold fish as prizes everybody else seemed to be able to ring a jar but to the twin- great digust this feat was beyond the powers of my wife and i the evening was not a total failure however for we managed to bring j away ome very valuable planter cat- and dogs which unfortunately just melted away the first time they had their faces washed a short distance from our home is the village of cheam which isj a very lovely and yes ill say it though i hate the phrase i high class neighborhood most of thei village consists of four and five bedroomed houses built in the latej lfxws the streets and boulevards are laid out with different types of flowering trees and shrubs and as every householder seems to take great pride in the landscaping ofj his property the whole village population 400h is a fine exj ample of england at its best tile fair there came tip on thursday and no pressure was necessary to ensure my presence there is considerable historical significance pleast excuse the use of such mumbleyguck phrases as the last two words but i seem to be gett ing so juicerfield that they creep in everywhere when nobodys looking attached to this fair in 1259 king henry 111 gave his royal grant to the village of kayam as it was then called to hold an affair on the 15th day of may each year on the two furlongs of what was then the common- road and is now named park road king henry laid down one condition that at least one stall or sideshow must be set up each year or the grant would be revok ed not a year was missed till 10 10 but during the war the people of the district had no wish to com mit suicide by gathering in crowds on the main route of hermans bomb delivery service to the big smoke so the fair was discontinu ed but an ice cream salesman kept the tradition unbroken bv pedalling his tricycle into park road each year on the 15th of may he carried a dartboard on his hamper stopped for an hour or so and then pedalled away after chalking on the pavement cheam fair was held today u ann boleyn and veil gwynne knew this they would both be pleased for each in her own period of the past had a good time at this fair it is a joint effort of the local clubs and organizations 42 differ ent ones all told and is a success a queen is crowned and an old continued on page 7 gj3taij3fj3jjafq
