It was or-ganized primasrily lun the interest oí agriculture, De we want it cheapened and uscd as oee more nieans o creating an epen Sun- day? W/e know i-bei-e are <pi-te a nunt ber oi lai-mers, motly fiuit aud maiket gardeners, who seem te thiuk It necessary te work on i-be Sabbab, but the tajOrity of farim- ers si-h regard Sunday as a day ci i-est - insoyar as it eau he where winter coes are almost su all- I haie spokens te several people abeut this subject ud not eue lias been lu laveur of aving the "Roy- al" open ici- business ou Sunday. The cear-est to it was oe mac who said he would like to sec Ihe Pair epen, but net for business. That ta te say an admission fee couldi be charged and people allowed te go through the bai-ns the be-se palace and the fiewer show, but ne judging or shoxv ring eveuts should be¯ allwed. And definitely ne cno- msercial aide shows - which, after ail, are merely su attraction to peo- ple who are not i t¶i least inter- ested l fairm aniials or farming operationts. 1'bere la als anether way of looking at it . . .suppose the Royal were te open ou Sundays. It would jusi heŽc the thin edge of the wedge. Il the Royal stayed open then there would be a clamuering fim seme quartera 't have the Canadi- an Exhibition stay open cn Sun- days - whih heaven lforbild. Ad if the Exhibition stayed open there would be Other places of amuse- meniýt ta o l tikthey shouh1i do likewise. Very seon-there would be moi-e comminercialized amusement bu Sunday than on any day cf the week. Apparently the idea of keeping the Royal open on Sundays has been tentatively suggested as a means cf masking moi-e money - according te the editorial it "might mean the difierence between sur- plus and defcit." And does the management think any good would conte cf a new venture which de- libeiaely sud publicly flouts the fourth commaudment? Dear knows, many f us aie guilty enough in that respect, but at least it remains a personal matter. Ifl the Royal is not paying ita way wly not lave it stay open the whole two weeks - Sundays e- cepted? Or i-aise the admission tee. People who are really auxieus te go would probably pay au extra 25 cents as easily as not. Rather hard on a big family, of course, but then clîîdren could be taught that ifl they want to go to the Big Fai- they must save their pocket money and pay their own way. Tee often, with easy indolence, we farm peeple sit back and let changes take place te which we are actually opposed. Toc late we re- alize we could have stopped any given change had we really tricd lu regard te the Royal Winter Fai- we have been given plenty cf time to think about it. I hope farn tolk aIl ever the province will make their voices heard, To make this possible the matter should be d:s- cussed by aIl farim organizations at ct And the RELIEF IS LASTING There's one thing that brings really fast relief froim the discomfort. . . the headache . . . the muscular aches and pains that often accompany a cold , . .
