2-Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, September 7, 1983 A Number One Show Of course you are well aware by this time that the annual Orono Fall fair; comes about this week-end with all the action starting Thursday evening with a full program and then continues on through the re?t of the week, including Sunday with Harness Horse racing,- Jumper and Hunter horse show and a Western and Country Jamboree. The Orono fair has many features of entertainment entertainment but still over the years has been able to ' maintain its agricultural background which is so ' important for an agricultural fair. It has kept in balance this background along with the modern day entertainment features. The fair has an enviable past and is recognized as class exhibition where the produce of the land and animal husbandry is considered most important. /Other such fair have not been able to keep the 7 mix that we enjoy at the Orono fair and still others have terminated never to be reborn again. One of the features we do enjoy at the fair is the social aspect where we are amongst friends, neighbours and acquaintenances of yesterday and yesteryear. It is one ofthe interesting features and the fair does become a community alive with activity. activity.

A royal commission on Environment Canada started in 1977 to look into this serious situation situation now have brought out their report. Last year Niagara lost 20 percent of its farmland. Niagara peaches are the best in the world. Conditions there of land and climate seem to be perfect to give that marvellous flavour but unless something is done and done soon all the peach growing land will be lost, . covered with cement for highways, service stations, driveways, urbanization .golf courses, etc. Our children will pay for our folly. As 1 write this is the last day of Toronto Exhibition; I think of the first time I went.. It was in 1919. The last day of school we were given free tickets to the "Ex" good for admission to the grounds and both the afternnon and eveiv ing grandstand shows on Children's Day. All summer we dreamed of that trip to the city and wonder of wonder our Grandmother thought we should go. She was a very timid lady, and would never have thought of going herself. Qur mother had just- returned from several years on the prairie so she let our grandmother decide". After the big day we could go on to Woodbridge where our Aunt Mrs. Chas Tamblyn lived and return by train tlje next day. My older brother, Arthur, although only fourteen was farming. We had horses and cattle. So we arose long before daylight, -fed up, had our breakfast, hitched up the horse and buggy and drove- three miles to Stark ville Station, Station, east of Orono. There the station master agreed to feed and water our horse which we tied in the station shed. We brought the oats with us, unharnessed the horse and tied it up. Lexpect the train came about seven a.m. It stopped at Orono, Salem and Solina. All along the way farmers were there, loading cans of milk for the city. We soon found our way to the Ex grounds. We saw a big building that said, "Dog and Cat Show". Now we had a pure bred collie at home. We didn't expect there would be any collies betther than "Shep" but we'd like to see them. Admission was 25 centsi That was a lot,, of money but we paid it. Then we saw cats of all kinds and colours, hundreds of them, but no dogs. "Where are the dogs?" we asked. "The.dogs don't come till .next week," was the reply. Were we ever, mad. Seventy-five cents spent on cats. When we 'told the man that wè bought our tickets from, 'he must have befen a grahdfather, he gave each of us our 25 cents back. Then we ate our lunch on the lawn facing Lake Ontario 1 . There were many , mothers and families eating lunches on that lawn. Then in y ten veav old brother and I went on the grandstand. Arthur went to see the machinery. We were to" stay on the grandstand near, the exit till he came to gel us but when the show was over the policeman made us leave. We couldn't find Arthur' Arthur' in all that crowd so we decided we'd never see him till we went to Woodbridge. , We took in all the midway, rides at five cents each and were coming back for the evening show and there sat - Arthur on top of a high post above the crowd. He said there were two exits exits from the grandstand and he didn't know which one. we would use. He knew 1 had a broad-brimmed pink hat. He thought he'd watch, for my pink hat. There seemed to be hundreds of pink hats. We went on the . grandstand. grandstand. It was a wonderful show. "The Romance of Canada" or something like that. We saws the Indians on their buffalo hunts, their campfires and dances, the coming of the pioneers, the prospector of the mountains, the trappers, the Red Rivet- ox. trains, the building of the railroad, etc. Then the marvellous fire,works. When it finally came to a glorious end we took the street car to . Weston. Then at the end of that line they told us that the last street car for Wood- ,.bridge had left one hour ago. "How fat' is it to Wood- bridge?" "Eight miles," said the conductor. We had been on the move since before daylight; Everything was in ddrkness except the street ,car! Could wc walk 8 miles? The«conductor was changing changing the pole for the return trip to Toronto. Along came a big stock tr,uck loaded with .school children from the Ex. The truck had to stop because the street car was stopped. ' "Where are' you 'going?" we asked. ' . "To Orangeville," the driver said. "Do you go through Woodbridge?". • . "Yes." "May we have a ride with you?" "Yes, ilimb up with the rest of the kids," he said. Our guardian angel must have Sent that truck. Woodbridge was in darkness but we asked the 'night watchman, "Where does Mr. Tamblyn, the beekeeper, live?" He directed us to the honey houses and . four, houses beyond. We stood on the front lawn and called. Uncle Charlie stuck, his head out the upstairs window, "Well where did you come from, at this hour of the night? We gave up looking for you hours ago." Next day we made our way to the Union Station and home on the evening train Canadian Canadian National through Orono to Starkville. Now is the time to pick that bushel of tomatoes while they have all those vitamins. Don't wait till freeze up. The Kendal Eagles won their two games at Wyoming against North Bay on Saturday.
