Other agricultural events which proved a big success this year according to Woodward were the children's pet- ting zoo where the kids had an opportunity to cozy up to animais many of thern ay only have seen on television and the heavy and light horse shows whicb Woodward said drew a big crowd. In all, Woodward said m Woodward the fair board handed out $25,000 in prizes this year for everything from prize cattie to jarns and jellies and fid- Ming. Aitbough the fair board works bard to maintain the fair's agricultural orientation, Woodward said they are always looking for new events to fi out the program. This year there were five new items featured over the course of the four day event, ail of which Woodward felt went over well with the crowd. The new events this year were the 18 hole mini-golf, the Brek1 in Bylines By BETTY-JEAN BLYTU I C al 655-36 79 wth item s forthb, column It seems everywhere you turn these days, you hear about people getting together to revoit against something or other. Perhaps it's time that we parents who have vaiiy been trying to get aiong with our teenagers banded together and began one of our own. I don't know about you but I'm tired of being ac- cused of nagging ail the time, I'm tired of being told that everything I say, do or wear is "revoiting". So, 1 suggest that we take that as our credo and start the "Canadian Association of Revoiting Parents" or C.A.R.P. for short. The whoie idea will be to drive them crazy for a change. If you're interested in joining, here are a few suggestions to get you started.

"'You have to keep changing. Nothing stays level. We're aiways looking for ways to im- prove the fair. Every year you see things you don't want to do again or things you'd like to do," said Woodward. In September the fair board will meet to review this year's fair and begin planning for next year. There is a lot of work that goes into preparing an event on the scale of the Brooklin, Spring Fair and Wood- ward praised the more than 100 volunteers who contributed to making the fair's 75th anniver- sary the tremendous success it was. "The organizers have to do agood job or you just wouldn't have a good fair," said Wood- ward who singled out Audrey Downey, fair president Wayne Disney and Mildred Woodward, for dedication above and beyond the cali of duty. 1. Play Glen Miller albums at 10 decibels tbe mor- ning after they've been out partying. 2. Make the telephone cord one foot shorter than the distance to ber bed. 3. Insist on giving him a baircut at home. 4. Reset ail the pusbbuttons on the car radio to your favourite stations. 5. Deduet room and board from their allowance. 6. Fix ber curling iron so it will short out just before that big date. 7. Iron bis jeans. 8. Set the bathroom scales five pounds too heavy. 9. Put a time-lock on the refridgerator door. 10. Make sure that the blouse she wants to borrow is eitber dirty or bas a button rnissing. il. Hang around when their friends come over, saying you just want to be one of the gang. 12. Leave the gas tank empty when he wants to borrow the car. Now that you've got the idea, I'm sure you'll be able to carry on and show thern just how "revolting" parents can be.
