COME TO THE FAIR

Canadians make their annual

pilgrimage to the local fair. It might be a small class nia, 98 country fair in some wind-swept village on the prairie or the

fabulous Canadian National Exhibition in Toronto.

But no

matter how large or small fairs are, they all provide fun and excitement to both rural and urban visitors.

The grandstand with its dare-devil trapeze and high diving acts: the raucous harangue of sideshow barkers; the pin-headed man from darkest Africa, the wild, heart-stopping rides on the

midway;

the bingo games and crown-and-anchors; the hot dogs, hamburgers and ice cream

~all these are an integral and

necessary part of the annual fair. A large percentage of fair-goers, however, miss seeing the

dramatic shows at the fair.

These are located usually beyond

the glitter of the midway and often mean a good hike from

the main gate.

FROM ABROAD

U.K. Butter Supplies

The British Ministry of Food is currently discussing butter tracts with Denmark and New Zealand. Negotiations with the former include possibility of a seven-year contract Discussions are complicated, however, not only by the British price for Dan- ish butter but also by the prices which Denmark will have to pay for imported raw materials which will have to be equated to export prices.

The New Zealand talks are ex- pected to follow general lines of the present contract, although there are indications that the question of a higher price will be raised as a result of the recent wage increase granted to farm workers.

It has been suggested that the Danes might accept a lower price in return for a larger allocation from the United Kingdom of scarce industrial materials.

THE SISAL INDUSTRY OF EAST AFRICA }ET'S BUY A DRESS

British East Africa is the largest producer of sisal in the world, exporting in 1947, over 120,000 tons of fibre valued at £6,864,817. Chief East African producer is Tanganyika (95,856 tons in 1947) followed by Kenya (24,960 tons). Sisal fibre is shipped principally to the United States of America, Canada, and to Great Britain. Pre-war the bulk of production went to European countries. During the war East African sisal was a vital commodity in extensive de- mand for manufacture into ropes and cordage for the Allied Fleets and Merchant Services as well as for harvesting twine. Sisal was first introduced to East Africa in 1898, when 83 small plants (the survivors of 1,000 shipped from Florida) were sufficient to start the industry. Each leaf contains approximately 1,000 fibres which, when cleaned of all vegetable matter, dried, and brushed, form the com- mercial product, Fach plant produces approximately 180 leaves over ‘a 4-5 year period. The industry runs its own research stations at Mlingano, near Tanga, Tanganyika, and at Thika, near Nairobi, Kenya's capital city. This picture shows an International “Brook- ville” 40 horsepower diesel engine hauling off a train of wagons loaded with leaf to the factory.

Mr. Dickey said, “A related fact, and one that is most gratifying, is that, counting only the white pop- plation, our death rate from T.B. is lowest in Canada. Counting in the Indians, our T.B. death rate is third lowest in Canada. Ontario and Saskatchewan have lower death rates than we, but we are slowly and surely overtaking them.

“A very fine measure of co- operation between the medical pro- fession, hospitals, departments of health, local, provincial and fed- eral, and the Alberta Tuberculosis Association, has had a great deal to do with the improvement in the fuberculosis situation and the steady decline in T.B. deaths in Alberta.”

“Wild” Well Near McMurray

McMURRAY Bear Biltmore, about 50 miles west of Fort Mc- Murray, blew wild for a brief time recently when circulation was lost in a porous formation.

The well, however, was soon brought under control through use of the blow-out preventer and an attempt is now being made to cement off the porous formation and thereby restore circulation.

How Weeds : Winter Over

It is well that a farmer should know the different kinds of weeds in order to be able to combat them. When growth is checked in the fall of the year, the interesting ques- tion arises as to what becomes of the various weeds at that time. What provision is made for the survival and renewal the following year? This should be known so that suitable opportunity may be taken to attack and exterminate

them, says Geo. A. Elliott, Seed Laboratory Services, Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ot- tawa

Weeds are commonly classified as annuals, biennials and peren-

nials. Annual weeds are those that germinate in spring or early sum- mer, grow and reproduce before dying naturally or when caught by autumn frosts, and leav- ing its progeny tucked away with- in seed coats capable of withstand-

LAC LA BICHE.— Fatner Mc- trane and four of the Sea Cadets are expected back in Lac la Biche Tuesday after having been on a trip to Prince Albert, Sask. Their intentions were to reach there by water.

The “Exeter,” their 30 foot craft was transported to Edmonton last week and launched in the North Saskatchewan River. They set off Tuesday for Prince Albert but un- fortunately they got only about 15 miles and hit rapids near Fort Sas- katchewan.

Previously they had run onto a sand bar, but got out of that Wed- nesday morning and continued on the journey. It wasn’t long until they hit the rapids and the “Ex- eter’ was badly damaged. Luckily no one was injured while leaving the boat for the shore.

This incident made it impos- sible for them to complete the journey by boat. Father McGrane asked the boys if they were disap- pointed but they said no. After all, they said, they went for adventure and excitement and they got it They went the rest of the way by car.

It is hoped some of the “Exeter” and equipment can be salvaged.

ANNUAL GOLD MINE

Calgary Stampede Wins Envy of Other Cities

Last week other cities in Western Canada turned green with envy as Calgary launched this summer's version of the

world-famous Stampede.

And the other cities had reason to feel greener than usual. This year an estimated 50,000 people were on hand to watch the opening parade of cowboys and Indians, while another 60,000 per day were on hand at the Stampede grounds.

The west’s other cities watching the influx of tourists and money into Calgary every July wondered what they could do to make their annual exhibitions into a nation- wide attraction.

An enterprising group of busi- ness men and Chamber of Com- merce members in Edmonton had gone ahead with plans for an an- nual air show to be held in 1950. But for other western cities their only summer attraction was the annual exhibition with its cheap midway and dull livestock shows.

The secret of Calgary’s success with the stampede appeared to many observers to be the enthus- iasm and energy the citizens show-

Anglican Church Appoints Rev. A. G. Howes, Rector

LAC LA BICHE—The Anglican Church has appointed its first full- time rector.

He is Rev. Alan G. Howes, who has already settled in the manse with his June bride, the former Grace Putnam. She met her hus- band-to-be while he was supply minister at Grassland and she was on holiday in her native village from Victoria, B.C., where she was employed.

ed in backing up the propect. Calgarians really let their hair down during Stampede week. Citizens who have rode nothing more than auto- mobiles or busses deck them- selves out in cowboy outfits.

Wooden feed troughs for

horses, special signs, Indians

in war paint and feathers all combine to give a western at- mosphere,

This year a special party of 250 Torontonians and 120 women teachers from southern Ontario came west to be on hand for the stampede. The easterners are mak- ing a return visit following the en- thusiastic invasion of Toronto last autumn by western supporters of the Calgary Stampeders, winners of the Grey cup football trophy.

The stampede is not only a tour- ist attraction, hundreds of cow- boys and rodeo contestants from the United States and Canada are on hand to take part in the com- petitions. This year 641 entries were on hand, nearly one-third of them from the United States.

At the end of this week when the horse manure is scraped up off the streets Calgarians will take down the special signs and horse troughs and put them away for an- other year. And another year will probably see the same crowds com- ing back for more rodeos and par- ades.
