started off the annual round of rural fairs but not many of them have stopped even if the usual starter was not on hand septem ber and early october is fair time throughout ths province and ita usually the last of the outdoor gatherings until another summer rolls around it is well that the fairs have not ceased to oper ate in these days of allout war etfort the fair is often the only gathering during the year that is left for the community true the number of fairs that can be attended is limited but in this district there are many that do not require much mileage to take in each year we all hope that the next year will see the boys back from overseas to attend these fall gatherings for five years that hope hasbecn held out this year it seems closer to fulfilment than at any other time it is well that the fairs have been maintained they are institutions built up over a long period carried on in many difficult times and the test of time seems to have proved their benefit both to town and country fall fair time is at hand enjoy as many of them as you can but be sure to take in your own local event the fairs are worthy of your support v back to school two million vigorous tanned students are turn ing in for another years education as the bells of september ring across the dominion the shy little girl of six with an apple for the teacher and the sturdy little chap with a pocket full of treasurers who wants to be just like his dad are starting on a great undertaking that will include some of the happiest days of their lives at the other end of school careers are young men and women completing their matri culation with serious thoughts of war service jobs and life work it is a world in which education is going to be of greater importance than ever the intensive instruc tion and training which the demands of war required cannot be slackened because the pattern of victory is emerging on the worlds battlefronts the re organization of the world when peace comes is going to need extremely intelligent planning and execution in order to make it a better place to live in for this the united nations have fought since september 1930 but fortunately for boys and girls the responsi bilities of the world arc not yet theirs with a good summer holiday behind them and refreshed physi cally and mentally they are ready for the challenge of multiplication tables or chemistry field days rugby games baseball in the schoolyard help to round out canadian education not the least impor tant side of childrens lives is learning to live with their fellows in a happy spirit of give and take work and play so its back to desks and books in the beauties of the canadian september when harvest richness is being stored whether they walk the country or the town sidewalk for boys and girls september means schools in v chaaging bnalneaa it will be interesting to learn in the postwar period what effect new regulations now coming into effect will have on business by that we mean whether there will be a continued trend toward bigger business getting bigger or more small establishments owneroperated for instance the new hours for help in stores restaurants etc require that not more than eight hours per day be worked there is however nothing in the act to prevent an owner keeping his store open whatever hours he wishes as long aa he himself serves the customers without any assistance from an employee it a not clear moreover that a mans wife and members of his family who draw no wages cannot serve in the store regardless of hours store hours we understand can only be regulated by municipal bylaw prior to the war the hours were undoubtedly too long and experience has surely taught everyone that no hardship has been incurred by the public when they were ahortcned but in she days that will eventually come when supjsly of goods is plentiful and customers may not be so plentiful for all the goods available there will be the urge for the aggressive merchant to offer extra inducements to shop athia particular afore only che owneroperated establishment can give the extra shopping hours under the newest regulations v aa others see us returning from a newspaper convention in win nipeg hugh templln editor of the fergus news- record tells that he found that ontario is not very popular with the people in the other provinces of the dominion mr templin says evidently premiers hepburn and drew have done what they could to make this province un popular in the rest of canada that wasnt their intention of course but the things they said in this province get over the boundaries what la intended as a help to win elections here may not go down so well in other areas it was mr hepburn who popularised the ontario milch cow theory that this province was legated by the rest of canada as a big cow that could be milked for their benefit the reply of the west is that they cant get any milk from ontario but hat our cow devours a lot of their best pasture and eats up their grain just before the convention in winnipeg and before he left for britain premier drew gave a radio address aimed jointly at ottawa and quebec we didnt hear it but understand it denounced the baby bonus legislation as a bribe to quebec andi he said he was going to keep it from going into effect that speech aimed at quebec evidently hit other targets well we suppose its to be expected that people who are always shooting are bound to hit a lot or targets but with all the practice of shooting the aim doesnt seem to improve it looks as if we in ontario should be more cautious with our thundersticks v every community could use one most pf us can recall when every town and village had a local photographer who did sufficient buslneks to maintain an establishment and make a livelihood from it without many sidelines in addition there was the visiting photographer who made regular calls with his travelling van perhaps the small camera low in price and easy to operate had some thing to do with these businesses closing up but we sometimes wonder if there still isnt an opening in every community or this size for such n business we havo a camera which we use for news paper pictures and its surprising how many people request us to take pictures for them we have had to refuse because we are very amateurish at the work and we have no desire to add new departments even ir it were possible to secure the necessary supplies photo finishers in nearby cities have been giving in ordinary times an adequate service for those who take snapshots but mails and delivery service be sides adding expense are not what they used to be and the time lost in transit is often irksome looking at the business from the double angle df taking photographs for those who have no camera and finishing the pictures of those who have cameras it seems to us that there is a profitable opening in most every community of 2000 people or over for such a business some or those planning their postwar lire might give this consideration rather than getting into some of the more crowded fields or having to go to the larger cities when town lifo is preferable v editorial notes labor day was like many of the other holidays in town this year you went out of town for a cele bration or you celebrated quietly v it cannot be urged too often that every house holder lay in a stock or fuel that is availablo now canada always provides a season to use it v canada is still canada governments may come and go but her rich unbounded natural rcsouces will lake care of your investment in her deloraine man timesnews v weve heard that a lot of income tax forms are being distributed on the rural routes another ad vantage the farmer enjoys we had to gp to the post office to get ours and it had to be sent a long time ago v looks as if no 25 hiyhway would continue to have a fine surface as long as repairs are continued it takes a lot less time than
