FALL FAIRTIME IN ONTARIO FAIRTIME HIGHLIGHTS By Your Ful-O-Pep Reporter To countless thousands throughout the world, the name 'Erin' is just another, and more poetic way of saying Ireland â€" one that conies handy to sentimental song- writers and radio tenors. .But to multitudes .in all parts of Ontario â€" including, of course, your Ful-O-Pep Reporter â€" Erin means some- thinsf entirely different. It stands for one of the very loveliest of all our beauty spots; and when word comes that the Erin Fall Fair is on the cards, your reporter ahvays plans for a very early start towards Wellington County. That your Ful-O-Pep Reporter is not alone in his appreciation of Rural Ontario on Show â€" and at its best â€" will be seen from some of the shots our camera-man made while there. Favored by ideal weather, the Erin Fall Fair was a huge success as viewed from any angle; and those responsible for it are deserving of our heartiest congratu- lations, IMiotosraph by your Piil-O-Pep Photographer Gromyko said "No". Our staff photographer 'shot' this picture of an impressive but somewhat dour-looking beast, but quite neglected to tell us its name, or that of its owner. Possibly some of our readers, who saw it at one of Ontario's Fall Fairs, mav be able to identify it. THE LADY HAD NO ANSWER At one of the many Ontario Fall Fairs visited by your Ful-O-Pep reporter, he happened to arrive in .^griculttiral Hall just at a crucial moment. With scores standing around, intensely interested, the Judges were pondering their decision between two giant stiuashes, tinal stir\ivors of the preliminary trials. Then from the rear came a voice â€" one of those feminine voices styled to try and make you think of mink coats, exotic perfumes, and general superiority. "Oh, Herbert, isn't it just too quaint," said the voice, "all these people bothering their heads about the size of idiotic things like squashes !" There was a brief pause â€" then came tlie drawling voice of one of the Judges, "Sorry to contradict you, lady," it said, "but if as much attention was paid to tiie improve- ment of squash as there is to atomic bomb.sâ€" well, maybe you wouldn't be sitting as pretty, but it would be a whole lot better world" And that was that ! l'-..": -.^Liph by your Ful-0-Pc>p Photn, i.n 1 . r "A good time was had by all" â€" Here our roving photographer gives us a distance shot showing the general layout of the Erin.

Smart Cow Wo were delighted to get this story from a reader in rural Ohio. )t seems lie recently arranged to have his aged mother cared for in a nursing home, where he has been visiting her twice a week. Each lime he brings her a special lunch from the farm, including a thermos bottle of milk in which he slips a little brandy â€" on advice of the family doctor. The lady is always delighted with the hinches, and the other day, as she sipped the milk, she said grave- ly, "Oh, Larry, don't ever sell that cowl" â€"This Week. The Meaning The teacher was trying to ex- plain the meaning of certain words to her class. She came to "suffi- cient." "Now,'' she said brightly, "sup- pose there was a cat here and I gave it a saucerful of milk, which it drank. Then I gave it another saucerful, and it drank it all. But when I gave it a third it wou.d only drink half of it. We can then say that the cat bad sufficient. Now, Tommy, what is the meaning of sufficient?'' "Please, teacher,'' said Tomni.v eagerly, "cafful of milk." Kiil-u-i'fi- I'lKHMi^Kii'lier Modern lann juachineiy .<,'els the once-over.

"Brother, we can use that good lourishment in Post's Grape-Nuts Flakes: carbohydrates for energy; proteins for muscle; phosphorus for teeth and bones; iron for the blood; Other food essentials." 'Those two golden grains, wheat and malted barley sure are cleverly blended, baked and toasted t» achieve that glorious flavor and honey-golden crispness of Post's Grape-Nuts Flakes." "Know what? We're going to cook up some cookies and muffins too, from those recipes on llio Post's Grape-Nuts Flakes package. Better make it the big economy size."
