" "'"! By Maxlne Bnren r Statesman Woman's Editor i " . i , -M-you are inclined to think. that the dear dead days-are gone this is a good week to get over it, at least temporarily. JThough we don't go to the fair anymore by horse and buggy park in the grove back of the dairy building and sit on the fence1 and watch the races the merry-go-round is just the same, the vopcSPl i5vM crisp and the agricultural .exhibits are still a thrill. Though prizes are higher and the barns are neater, though the farm machinery isn't what it used to be and nobody in mod ern times can cook hamburgers like Johnny Jones chicken like ' Mrs. Olmstead, the cows are as interesting arid the children thrill Just as much to the baby pigs. And the glass blower is still there. we nope!. Going To The Fair is an old Salem institution, and on Labor Day and Salem Day even the upper crust of the Capitol's social set lets down its collective hair and has a good time and tired . feet. ! Popcorn and peanuts, afternoon races, pigs and sheep, needle , wdrk and tractors and things attract just about everyone Ofttimes we regret the passing of the simple life, but funda mentally such things as the fair are about' the same. We used to tie Old Fred up to an oak tree and sit on the grass at lunch time, , then move the buggy over to the race track and have a comfort able box seat for the big events." One of our most fond recollections is of the wonderful sculp ture someone used to do in butter! Might as well be gold now' with butter .in the TOs. i . ' Then there was the. little panorama of the Willamette valley In the pavilion. (I guess we call it the agricultural building now.) : The whole valley was reproduced in minature; barns, neat fields and Salem and the river. Lights blinked here and there In the tiny farmhouses. - i Every time we leave the airport In a plane, we see In our minds eye that panorama But that was baby stuff, and the fair's more sophisticated. ' And, too, we remember the huge bulls, the sleek Jerseys and the draft horses: The bulls are still Just as large and the Jerseys as sleek, but there are fewer draft horses. The Midway was of minimum- importance In those days, not only because there are much less of it, but because, with a brood . of five, our parents probably kept us as far away as the fair grounds limits-would allow. But the fair is a lot of fun, take in the county exhibits and . put yourself in the mood of thirty years ago. Your feet can get Just as tired, your tummy just as full of popcorn and soda pop and your clothes can get as mussed as years ago. The people are still Interesting and the air is full of fascinating smells. They are do-' lng some of the same needlework now as they used to, and the man who spells your name in gold wire on a piece of elegant jew- elery is still talking himself hoarse. It's all fun, and we pity the folk who live far away from a fair. - - . u .... , -. ... s , ' : . - -. . v: , Mrs..
