O Encourage The Directors By Your Co-operation With Them The weather these days is a bit of a worry to those citizens throughout the country, who_ devote a certain amount of their time to -keeping (alive those grand old institutions, the Country Fairs." Ois,lia wa' had a very bad day, and Bineksioek, although it threatened rain most of the morning, the weather weather cleared nicely at noon, ..only to shower copiously at intervals during the afternoon. We haven't heard as yet how it affected their -attendance, but hope it was not the disheartening affair it might have been. From what we have 'been able to 'learn about running fairs, it requires; a lot of time, effort, and foresight on the part off quite a number of publie spirited men. and women. The work and responsibility carried by the Directors, is too frequently taken for granted by the public who expect the miraculous, and frequently favors. Let us try to remember that Fair Directors work for the joy of it, and feel amply rep-aid if the weather and the public smile on Fair Day. Here's hoping O-ro-no has a good day, for if the weather is nice we feel sure the people will respond. The Directors met in the Armouries- Armouries- Monday night to complete arrangements arrangements and' the secretary reported reported the entries coming in quite satisfactorily. satisfactorily. There are several features of the Fair this year that need Special menton, menton, as they should appeal to the younger, people. To start with, there is the Junior Farmers' OaM Club, under the direction direction of E. A. (Summers, District Agricultural Representative. Then there is the Downham Nursery Special Special for the best "boy -driver", 16 years- and under. We wonder if boys of this age still know how to handle a spirited team of horses un-der working working conditions, or does dad or grandad grandad have to do all the driving these days. ,1 In the Arf Class wr- see four sections sections for students (only, with' two more (sections exclusively for Public 'School children. Last, although it ■comes first on Fair Day, is the Bucksaw Bucksaw contest. In these days of buzz saws- can any of the younger, generation generation hope to 'beat Orrne. and Fred and Joe ?.' The Prize List is- full of good things. Let the, community get behind behind the Orono Fair and wo will meet you all on Wednesday,. -September 22.
