VANDEHVEEN LISTS REGULATIONS FOR FAIR ENTRIES Dr. Henry VanDerVeen, county veterinarian, in answer to a request concerning- the strictness of health regulations for livestock entered in the county junior fair Aug. 2, 3, 4 and 5, gives the following comments: 4-H and F.FiA. Are your livestock properly fitted, for exhibition at your county fair? Fair time will be here before you realize it and it is high time to prepare for it. ( Have you had your\animals tested and vaccinated to meet the health regulations?

History tells us that the great Italian explorer carried playing cards on his ship, the Santa Maria, during its first fateful voyage in 1492 and that h°is sailors^ whiled away t h e l o n g hours at sea w a i t i n g f o r t h e i r f i r s t glimpse of land by play i n g c a r d games. During some heavy weather the cards were washed overboard, shortly before the sighting of land. Soon after landing in San Salvador, Columbus' men quickly fashioned their "own home-made playing cards from copa leaves (from a coconut tree). A few of these may still be viewed at the Columbus museum in Spain. Thus the introduction of playing cards to America was almost simultaneous with its discovery. After Columbus, whose expedition was backed by Queen Isabella of Spain, other Spanish explorers brought playing cards to the New World. These included Cortez. conqueror of Mexico in 1519. History records that Montezuma, Aztec emperor. watched in fascination as Cortez' conquistadors played at cards. The Indians, intrigued by the colorful cards, began to make their own out of birchbark, buffalo hide, deerskin and sheepskin. They copied the Spanish suit designs, cut them into the leather or bark, and then colored them. When Buffalo Bill Cody's effects were sold at auction, they contained a very ancient and ornate Indian deck of playing cards presented by a tribal chief to the frontiersman in return for . a great favor. European cards were later brought by the English to Virginia and by the Dutch to New Amsterdam, so that by the 17th Century catas were in common use from French Canada to Portuguese South' America. Snip Snap Snorem, Slobberhanes, Quadrille and Whist were the games early American settlers played with cards. The fascination of card games' has continued through the centuries and new games have sprung up to meet the moods of our time. Today'* high quality, durable cards which insure smooth handling and dealing are a far cry from their 15th Century forebears. And we have games like Canasta, Samba and the very latest. Calypso, as well as the old reliables, Bridge, Hearts. Poker and Pinochle that weren't even dreamed of by Columbus and his men.
