the editors column something new in the gleft glen williams sparked by the st albans ladies guild is planning something new in the community next saturday when they present a fall fair the first in glen williams history to be sure it will lack some of the accoutrements of the fairs we are used to as there will be no animals and no midway and will be strictly a hall exhibit the hall itself however will be a rephca of the armouries in september with exhibits of ladies work schoolchildren s displays and hobbies and entries promise to be heavy in all classes there will be a baby show prizes for the oldest and youngest attending refreshment booth and tea cup reading among the attractions if the fair is successful and trat isnt a very big if because when the glen starts out to do some thing it is done right we expect to see a much more ambitious affair next year and in time there is no rea son why glen williams shouldnt be able to put on a proper affair after all size of the community is not the criterion for size of the fair small centres like erin teeswater rockton streetsville and cookaville have proven this year after year and perhaps we are witnessing the entry of glen williams into the fall fair field it is encouraging to see the glen ladies un dertaking such an ambitious event and we hope that attendance will more than justify their efforts slips that pass in the type from time to time in common with other pub lications the herald is guilty of typographical errors iffhjach lend themselves to some amusement for our readers at times when your editor has an extra busy day these errors are more frequent and last week one or two crept in among these was a mr for a mrs and we had mr j j thompson presiding at a trousseau tea when it was of course the distaff side of the household who was doing the honours it re calls our prize slip of a few years back when we had a local lady reported in place of her husband on a deer hunting r expedition with a party of twelve men the other matter we wish to refer td was an error of omis sion the letter rebutting our stand on closed sundays and signed by george webber general secretary ne glected to add that he was general secretary of the lords day alliance but perhaps you guessed that one however as we have said our fellow editors are not immune and we were recently amused to see in a toronto daily a picture of two sisters and their inten ded groomstobe captioned toronto sisters and their finances the powell river bc news is credited with this in reporting the speech of a minister on better labour management relations let us pray that the day will soon come when labour and manage ment will treat each other as a scared partnership the milverton sun probably hasnt an option on this when reporting that mr and mrs visited with fiends here over the weekend the chesley enter prise is also not alone we would surmise in telling its readers one week that a sow created something of a record in that district by giving birth to triplet calfs a lovely autumn maybe youll be wading through snow when this is read but we are tempting fate to remark on the ex tremely fine autumn weather which has come our way these past two weeks and which still continues on we cant recall such a long period df sunshine and balmy days in many a year the trees in their multishades of red have been extremely beautiful and the drive past the martin estate up the mountain was an ex tremely popular one on sunday when we met many carloads of townspeople enjoying the same outing it wouldnt be fall without the smell of burning leaves and in the park district particularly a smoky haze hangs over the air in vie evenings and householders are busy raking the excess leaves onto fires which jam more brightly than usual because of the extreme dryness although we became a convert last year to the idea often expounded by our exweatherman profes sor hutt and added fallen leaves to our compost heap in the back garden this year we found that time would not allow us the task of transporting all those dry l to the heap so after a half dozen bushel basket- fulls we joined our neighbours with a bonfire we dont pretend to know too much about chemistry but it is our private theory that the elements of the physi cal world are always with us in somefbrm so we will hope that the garden gets its share next year of what- burned leaves are converted into ever bo telephone improvements needed in common with our rural readers we welcome pany that the rural service- will eventually be improved by a system which will eliminate the ring system for something akin to our individual ringin in town any one who uses rural lines to any great degree will rea lize the handicaps encountered at the same time we would suggest that a busy growing industrial town like georgetown deserves a more uptodate system than at present enjoyed we note that palmerston and chesley smaller and less industrialized will have automatic ringins to replace the hand crank we should like to see this at least in georgetown and might hope that the company would go even further and provide the dial system here r we see this week
