Around About
By Justine Weatherford
Mark Twain wrote "It is a difference ot opinion that tnakev horse races "
Last weekend the race I really enjoyed wav a bicycle race 1 disliked leav
ing the TV coverage of the greatest one of all the "Tour De France" which
took more than 100 professional bicyclists all user France, the lowlands
and through the Alps for 25 days, and which was won for the first time
by an American A little encyclopedia research shows me that the present
basic style of the two-wheelers is only a bit over 100 years old and Out
in the U S die greatest use of these was between 1889 and 1900 However,
in much of the world they are very practical and extremely popular still
Cycling has been an official Olympic Games sport since 1896
My big summer adventure was an early July tour to Expo '8b in Van
couser. B C Tourism has truly become a big business although it is more
important to large communities, to states, to ciHintries that it is to some
small, rather isolated towns where a few more permanent families and a
few more employment opportunities are more helpful You have probably
read that all of the Pacific Coast and particularly the northwestern states
have positively benefited from the heavy travel to Expo 8b Some of the
travelers had never v iviicd thiv section ol the world hefore Some were disap
pointed in the weather I've heard people saying "W e won't go to Expo
because we hale standing in lines "
The four nights and three exciting days I spent in and near Vancouver
in (he v> pleasing company ot Helen Curnn and Marian Brosnan and a bus
full of area tourists really whiz red by Die weather was good (except when
we left home in the early morning of July 4 in the rain) The Expo was
so well organized, we were delighted with the super cleanliness and the
amazingly efficient manner in which hoards of people were moved about
We had very little standing in lines in part due to helpful advance planning
hy our tour organizers We visited so many outstanding exhibits, rubbed
shoulders with people from *> many distant pans of the world speaking
languages we could not comprehend We enjoyed staying in and looking
about the beautiful, cosmopolitan city and its magnificent parks and gardens
Our ariel ride up (¡rouse Mountain wav j first for us I have never ridden
on the great ariel systems in the Alps and elsewhere and was thrilled with
this experience in the Swiss made -.able cars
We traveled homeward over the Nonh Cascade Highway of northern
Washington We vaw many rugged snow capped peaks, great numbers of
water falls, beautiful lakes, lovely trees and wild flowers
Now a few words about Morrow County's coming Expo '8b. it's own
county fair which is approaching quickly Opinions differ about it too, of
course Ttx) few are really dyed in the wool, year after year enthusiastically
ready to exhibit, to assist with its staging and conduct and to atiend all of
its related activities We all know that we only really benefit from the ac
tivities we support we get out of activities in direct proportion to what we
put into them
The planners of our county fair» work so hard through each year getting
ready for this big week in August (officially Aug 14 17) They have planned
various new contests each year Die varmos departments and their
superintendents try to arrange delightful displays but their success depends
on you and the exhibits you enter Lhcbig4 H and FF A div isions are educa
tional and encouraging exercises for young folks They really help growth
of pride in accomplishment The open class divisions stimulate and cn
courage kids (ages 3 7). supcrkhls (ages 8 12). teens (ages 13 18) and adults
of all ages It is such fun to view what neighbors bring
Some people, like me. enjoy fairs county, state jnd world wide I can't
easily understand why vine people don't enjoy these ancient activities that
have been part of human history since hefore 1000 B (' and have been
tremendous crowd pleavers bringing people from far distances together
If you will come to this year's county lair and bring an exhibit or tow in
before it begins--you may catch Fair Fever
As I end this little monthly effort in sharing my thinking I want to use
another interesting, brief quotation about oppinwin which I am quoting from
Bartlett' s Familiar Quotations and which that fascinating hook quotes from
the remarkable F.li/ahcth Barett Browning's writing, "Men get opinions
