The livestock exhibits were as good as can be found anywhere, the pavilion exhibits were fair, the 4-H club displays fine and the entertainment good. The weather obliged with some beautiful days. 'There was nothing wrong with the fair that 1000 more spectators couldn’t cure. Lack of interest in fairs is a common complaint this year and even those w'ith entertainment spiked with gambling and varied entertainment did not/draw the crowds thew did1 in recent years. Perhaps the fact that less than 15 percent of the population are farmers may be a factor; It may be that a county fair as a means of entertainment Is becoming obsolete. Many suggestions are annually made by sincere persons to Im prove the local fair and so far as we know all have been considered by the board. Some have been adopted and nothing has changed the general trend. Some of the suggestions are to do away with the professional rodeo and substitute an amateur one or a Junior one or do away with it altogether; to provide more competition for youth, especially school exhibits, to make the en tertainment a race meet only, to make the fair strictly local, to bring In more entertainment from outside, get pari-mutuel bet ting. There are more. One of the difficulties facing the fair hoard is that caused by the state organization of fairs whldh practically sets the dates and aids In stereotyping the p ro grams. Although Oregon counties are as varied as can be found In JO URNAL, MORO. OREGON F R I D A Y , S E P T E M B E R 1«, 1953 any state their fairs are much alike. That does not lead many I>ersons to visit more than one fair. Since so large a part of the pop ulation lives in the cities there are few who enjoy looking at good livestock. A born farmer can look at a fat steer by the hour while a city man will give him but a brief glance. We think a change should be made, must be made unless all fairs are to cease when they are no longer supported by gambling, and this is the time of year when changes should be suggested. Let’» have them. TO KEEP GOOD ROADS The county last week had its hard surfaced roads re-oiled. They have been down long enough that some holes were lx?ginning to show and the job was timely es pecially that to the fair grounds, which received a good deal of travel over the weekend. While oiled roads are a plea sure to travel they are like many of the other things we enjoy in that they require more care than the old dirt roads. Even gravel roads get out of condition and re quire more care t'han dirt roads. Of course, a dirt road wasn’t much count anyway and nothing would hurt it. An oiled road isn’t good for ve hicles unless mounted on rubber. Should some one in a mood of carelessness, travel over the coun ty’s new surface with iron grou sers or even with a track laying tractor he would leave his mark for i Ight or ten years at the least and he might cause an expensive patching Job. Good roads to the extent that they neej greater care than poor roads are a luxury and require the care of luxuries And they cost like luxuries, too. though the weather was warm; now after the rain the stubble will scent the country as the sun warms the dew at sun up. This year was better than last for in 195-1 we had no summer. Tn-i.s year it was hot, up to 100 at timed and for weeks the sun bak ed the txick atkl puckered the wrinkles around the eyes. It isn’t so bad to lose a summer that real ly happened but a sad story in deed to let one pass on the calen dar that had never occurred on The Dalles DRIVE IN THEATRE W ANT 3 miles out on Hgy. 30 open at 615 NOW, Ends Sat.
