The 82nd fair haa gone and from much comment we gather that the fair arrived" in public It wsu a good show all the way through the geet annual cooperative community effort of the year. We're looking forward to the '52 show.

IT WAS SURPRISING to many aa they checked the thousands of names registered In their booths, from what dii- tqnce many of the signers came. The merchant booths are becoming, an important attraction at the fair. THE PAIR BQAitD is on tto right track in putting on their own grandstand shows. The horse races and car races got a big play, and the amateur contest the last night was mighty good, just a wee short in length. Next year, the amateur contest should be enlarged--the people liked it.

The program could be lengthened by bringing in last years winners and paying them for performing during the same night RAY FINN, WHO BY now has probably caught his breath, spent a mighty busy week at the microphone and as usual, did an excellent job as master of ceremonies. A fellow who is home on short vacation did much to liven the fair with his art work. That was Gerald Peterson, who recently graduated from a Chicago art school. He did a swell job in decorating stage for the last evening performance and fixing up pennants for the Harlan square, etc. 5 soon as the writer and hiagjamily hit the fair grounds, die first-thing the little woman wanted was sugar cotton candy, What would a Jair be without sugar candy! And Mac, anytime you can make the little woman happy for IS cents, you're getting by cheap.

The athletic arena stirred up a new angle. They had young men, local ones, wrestling women. Of course that sort of thing been going on for centuries, but, never knew they could get 'em in ipi arena and charge for It "-2v -7 WHEN BOB LARSON, attorney general arrived here Thursday afternoon, George Hurley met him and then took him out to the Country Club for supper. It wis fctag night at the Cluh. To gay the least, word got around that Ijarson was sitting upstairs In the dining room, there was a certain amount of consternation thrown into the ranks on the lowter floor.

Watching the amateur 1 was standing aext to John Paxton. Several of the entertainers had bald heads, and was surprised to see the ability of some of them as they performed. Wherein, Paxtoa said you never could tell what a -tiald headed man with a gray fringe might do! AND WILL THE ONE WHO BORROWED THE PUMP HANDLE THE FAIR PLEASE RETURN IT take it over to Ray Finn- It will be needed again next year. There probably is no way to know, but there must have been several thousand dollars worth of exhibits at the fair, eluding all the livestock, the farm machinery, home appliances and new cars and trucks, etc. The 4-H Pair exhibits this year were the biggest in the tory in the county and was a year's climax to their 4-H worit.

The boys had over 160 head of livestock. Which brings up the fine work that Dale Thorngren has done with the young people of this ty. When he came to head the extension service here in 1946, there was one club of 49 4-H boys, and 8 girls clubs. Today, there are 225 4-H boys in 13 clubs and 220 girls in 12 clubs. Miss E.

Vernte Schack has headed the 4-H girls work while Dale directed the boys. Dale has a flair for working with, and getting along with, young people. His record in the county clearly demonstrates that fact and better still, the young folks recognize his interest and they cooperate. WXEN WILL first bad freexe hit thic fall? To that is an important question. Weather records show the following average freeze dates over the years, for the Shelby county area.

Oct. 4-5, a 32-degree temperature usually strikes. Some vegetation is killed at this temperature. Oct 15, usually a 28-degree temperature in experienced. Moat annual growth is killed at this degree.

Oct 25, the first temperature strikes. Temperatures below 28 degrees usually lowers germination in seed corn, ing on the moisture content of the jcorn. Nov. 10-12, the first temperature arrives. The above figures are general averages" from the United States Department of Commerce.

Nowadays, its the "old" folks that get locked out. Dr. Carl Bisgard and family went down to the State fair over the weekend and thereby hangs a story. They were checked in at the hotel along with Mr. and Mrs, Gay'Swift After bedding down the children in the hotel room, the couples decided to go down and get a sandwich.

That accomplished they came back to the rooms, but the children, the boys in'one room and the girls in another, had the locked securely, and could not be awakened. Whereupon a house engineer got one of the rooms open by cutting the chain holding the door, the other room they could not open as the key WM in the lock. The Btegard's had to sleep the night on the floor la the room. PLUOAIDATION OP CITY WATER. Dontlafta In many towns are tetUng fluortdatkm of their city water as a of redwing tooth decay.
