Dewey Thompson For informotion on ony Standard Oil Company of California product, call CATHERINE ANDERSEN Phone: G n u Everybody knows by now, of course, that the SHER MAN COUNTY FAIR is going to be held at the fair grounds SEPTEMBER 1314-15-16 and that Mac Bar hour will bring his rodeo string for the arena events and that race horses will come front Salem and other places for the horse races and that exhibits will come from Sherman county farm and the crowd will come from every place. Some one was complaining a little the other day by saying that the Sherman county fairs were all alike. Come to think of it that is pretty much true. Come to think a little more it is pretty much true of all fairs. There are fat calves and fine cakes and races. A list of premiums for any fair reads alike As forquality the Sher man county fair is good. 0 Heck, it’s better than that. If all the above is true—and we won’t swear to it—it isn’t necessary to talk about any fair, nor to advertise it, nor take pride in it. But the fact remains that nearly everyone does. Fairs aren’t like babies that have to be new or no one will come see them. We do think that a fair to be very good should have something distinctive about it. There is something distinctive about the Sherman county fair but mostly Sherman countians don’t realize it because they don’t see enough other fairs and the ones they do see are the big fairs that last longer and have more entertainment features. Well. So what’s so distinctive about.it? « It has the best stock of any county fair. It has the best horse races of any county fair. We could go on and prove both of these contentions but we’ve done it before so will merely admit i t One can go to a fair and enjoy himself by looking at the prize pig and imagining the taste of the blue ribbon cake. But it is a lot more fun if there are friends around to talk to about it all. For that reason the Sherman 9 Valley, 232 keith M c D onald iM.oiie Wasco 532 county lair is distinctive for Sherman countians, old and new, young and old. It is the only county fair where Sherman countians can meet so many Sherman coun tians. Now, we suppose that meeting a Sherman countian, past or present, wouldn’t be much of a thrill for the resi dent of some other place. He or she looks very much like the regular style genus homo, a little prouder, maybe, a hit gayer, perhaps. But he has a very familiar look to another Sherman countian. The older ones especially have shared a common ex perience that holds them together in a common bond. They can recall the hot days of threshing machines, the dusty roads of wheat hauling, the long drives after win ter dances, the struggle to make payments on the mort gage. None of these things exist nowdays. These old timers are like veterans of a war when they talk over their battles in the happy times of peace. The younger ones don’t talk about horses but more often about tractors, pistons, sleeves, gears and hitches being of a modern age. But there’s something akin about both; they are still engaged in a common endeavor. Both feed the world; both were or are doing the most important job there is: raising food for hungry men and women.

Of course, there’s too much foo’d right here and now and the warehouses are full of it and it’s literally running out our ears. And that is a fine way to have it for every one but the farmer who has done his job too well. However, it looks as if the fathers and mothers will catch up with him pretty soon. W hat’s all that got to do with a fair? A lot. A fair O is where you meet people, where you greet friends and for Sherman countians the county fair—the Sherman county fair—Is a fine place to do i t /
