time of year when the air gets a slight nip to it the trees turn remarkable shades of color and the Georgetown Fall Fair again opens its gates This year the fair board has been bending over backwards to find at tractions that will hopefully draw all of us town folk out to the fair From the sounds of It they ve done a pretty good job of lining up some uncountrylsh things to in terest those of Us who think the business end of a Holsteln is its mouth To be truthful however we like the country fair as It has been for the past 129 years It a place that for a couple of hours once a year we can step into a that we would like to be in all 365 days of a year A world that is judged on physical accomplishment Ah to win the red ribbon in the pie baking contest or in the beef cattle show and not just on battles won or lost on paper Every country fair we attend we find that it usually takes us a few jnlnutes once we walked through the gates to settle down to the pace that a fair is made to be enjoyed at slow and easy Lean on a fence and watch the heavy horse judging for a few minutes and you 11 be better prepared for the rest of the fair It slow and drawnout For a little while it may be almost too slow but then you realize that this is not the videotaped madness of television It s live So slow down and enjoy it To finish off an afternoon at a fall fair we make a point of going through the exhibits last We browse slowly through the and public school exhibits We notice the finer details of the handcrafted goods and the baking If only we could taste them and if we should perchance miss something we take the time to retrace our steps to take a look A slow sure appreciation of common necessary things It a method we should apply to our lives Finally remembered The way to a mans heart It seems someone finally remembered Following our editorial of the 16th work has begun on cleaning up Remembrance Park The Park may not be restored toils original splendor as it did when it was dedicated by members of the Legion and the town but we take pride in the fact that someone is finally doing something about the swampy mire that served as one of Georgetown few parks Pulling the algae and the arrowheads from the muck is a job few of us want but the men of the town work department tackled the job with some feeling for the beauty of the park and began ripping up the variety of overgrowth that choked the ponds into their stagnant existence It will take more than just the concern of a few people to restore the park completely The town water supply wells have reduced the amount of water available to the ponds making a flowing stream impossible Artifically created ponds with cement liners and pumps are Just one of the many answers to reconditioning the downtown park The Georgetown Horticultural Society could use the park as a place to display their talents with beautiful flowers and The park benches combined with the peaceful setting are Ideal for a quiet Sunday outing It will take time but someone may still remember what the park once looked like and take some action to restore It to that tranquil state The workmen who pulled the plants from the bottom did not have it easy neither did the men who are to be remembered by the park One orgy to go By Susan For pure adventure into a world of gastronomlcal delights I highly recommend a mixed marriage Having married a genuine dyed in Italian I realized even before the honeymoon was over that something would have to be done about my definite lack of culinary skill In the kitchen For a girl who had trouble poaching eggs In any language this presented quite a challenge after our marriage 1 was presented with an Italian cookbook by one of my husband s friends and Immediately ran Into trouble Maybe It had lost something In the translation but It suggested strange things light fire water over fire when water bolls toss in Tour songbirds Now 1 can t find a supermarket that sells songbirds either tenor alto or soprano So after spending half fruitlessly chasing birds in the back garden I gave up threw away the book and sent out for Chinese food Italian cooking often necessitates using wine and for beginners this is a great help Especially you use the one for you one for me principle It even better if you use the three for me principle because If the dish doesn turn out to your satisfaction you re too happy by then to give a dam Instead of eating you settle for an orgy Imagine the cultural advantages to the children of a mixed marriage Not only do ours come from stock that produced William the Conqueror and Mlchaelangelo but they can veer back and forth with ease between such culinary delicacies as bangers and mash and pasta or bubble and squeak and I really believe though that the ultimate test of our marriage came when I presented with a bag of octopus for Is it topi which I expected to clean and cook At that moment I seriously stopped and considered whether It all worth it I looked at the and Ihey looked back at me somewhat defUnuy I don mind cleaning fish with a you know where you are It has a head a tail and a middle It was 1 picked up a knife and closed my eyes i It

the majestic colours of autumn the of the air and flock of the geese become synonymous wilh the hunting season I have read many reports and tetters For the most part these come from people who are Ignorant of the ways of our wildlife and its habitat Since man has dominion over all other species on this earth and since man himself has changed the natural environment of so many fellow creatures It is a natural conclusion to say that the only protection of wildlife comes from man Man is both the provider and the destroyer It is true that man has exploited his fellow creatures At the time however it is also true that whatever protection has been given them through organizations of naturalists and lists govern ment have all come through the of man Many people speak of the cruelity of Ihe hunt The helplessness of on animal pitted against the gun from which there Is no escape Those whose outcry is the loudest are often seen to be the very ones lacking In the knowledge of the outdoors and he natural balance of things Before technology skyscrapers and pollution there existed In nature a natural balance The hunted and the hunter the victim and the predator The predator in For it is natures first low that only the strong survive We can use for an example the wolf The wolf Is not the villain that man has made him out to be Man created the role of the vicious wolf Nature Intended the predator to weed out the sick and the weak and to keep the population in proportion with the natural environment The wolf is no more vicious or less than any other predator merely a link in a chain that gave balance to all things Along came man He called the wolf vicious a killer Man in turn killed Ihe created an in the natural environment I found that brutality and barbarism are like beauty They live only in the mind of the beholder Which is more barbaric To outlaw by man and to allow the deer and moose a slow agonizing pitiful death by starvation due to the loss of natural predators To find hunting cruel hunters barbaric and to alt and est a steak that comes to you straight from a hook where an animal hung gutted and skinned in a bloody fashion to arrive In the end on your dinner plate In todays society we say many things because we like to hide away from sight Some of those who bate killing of wildlife would vote for capital punishment yet would the Individual pull the switch or place the rope A good hunter is a naturalists who knows He or she Is a skilled woodsman with a love and respect for the outdoors An excellent marksman who always seeks to aim at a vital spot for a good clean kill Neither the hunt nor the hunter Is necessarily cruel What is cruel Is the abuse of the hunting and game laws poaching and unlicensed hunting In todays society where man has so drastically changed the course of nature to stop the hunt would result in far greater cruelty Natural predators have often been hunted to near extinction Man has interfered in the natural balance of things He has taken from the wildlife their natural environment he creates areas where the game Is protected and allowed to populate Without the hunt over population would soon result I am not a hunter nor do I care for any form of killing But I aware of certain basic natural laws and what mans dlstur- banco to them has caused I find bunting as a sport when carried out according to the rules set out by the ministry of natural resources as humane as any of our practises In order to put the sport down in a proper manner I would have to give up roast beef and 1 can say as I ready to do that There are many cruel things perpetrated on animals cock fighting bull fights dog racing 1 a brat or research I ve seen animals with their vocal cords cut to stop the noise pain out- while they were being operated on alive There are many more all of which are more barbaric than two months controlled slaughter Let those who would ban the sport as Let them show the same emotional concern for a world full of starving young human animals called children Maybe then 111 reconsider Till then to all my hunting friends here s wishing Conservatives Oh so blue BYDONOHLAHN Queen s Park Bureau Of The
