THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., NOVEMBER 4, 1948 ... .FALL FAIR TIME IN ONTARIO.... Norwood Fair Thrives Despite Rain Photo by Ful-O-Pep Photographer The True Fall Fair Spirit was shown at the Norwood Fair where in spite of the rain the people stood and watched the performance and supported their fair. At the conclusion of the fair the Fair Board gave a hearty vote of thanks to the hardy •ouls who had dared the weather to make the fair the success that it was. Stalwart Showmen, the Ducks Photo by Ful-O-Pep Photographer Wide Open To The Elements, and enjoying every minute of it it were the ducks; the only really happy people in the rain at at the Norwood Fair. Fair Time Highlights By the Ful-O-Pep Reporter The modern school of psychology which believes in adjusting youth to its surrounding, would not find many neurotics cusjpmers in Lincoln county according to the type of young people we saw at the Beams-ville fair. Perfectly "adjusted" and able to cope with life was the impression given by these young people to whoever met them on the fair grounds. One young New Yorker who stopped by the Ful-O-Pep trailer commented on the difference between the Junior Farmers at the fair and the kind of young people he was used to seeing in New York. 'It would be difficult to imagine a more complete contrast than between the young ■ Lincoln county farmer and the youth on 52nd Street." He said, "It is not so much the difference in appearance, although your lads look, a little more hearty than ours, but it is a difference in manner. These young people < make plenty of noise and have lots of fun, but there seems to be a purposefulness about them that quite frankly frightens me. It is quite a shock to a young city fellow, who does not know what he will do with his future, to find these young fellows and girls forging ahead as if they know exactly ly what they are about." "And the girls too," he went on. "What a difference there is. Just now I saw a pretty, young girl about eighteen, I should think, showing her heifer in the cattle show. There she stood in her riding breeches with her blond curls hanging down her back, and talked like an expert with the other cattle breeders, old and young. There was no girlish laughter about it either, I can tell you. She meant business, and she knew what she was talking about.'
