THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEW ELL.

From + street to Georgetown.
Washington was In tune ON this, the
perfect Summer day of 1927.
There may be other glorious after
Moons. but surely none shall eclipse
IN memory the cool sunny day we
celebrate.
Girls wearing the latest thing in
clocked stockings from the knee
DOWN Will walk on other bright days,
The boys will gaWk again. and the
collegiate roadsters" will run around
and around again. but the equal of
this grand day will not appear until
Nature, in another such mood, decides
to exactly please mankind.
Nature has expansive moods, at
times. it would seem, when the warm
blood suffuses her cheeks. her eyes
glow. and she looks upon mere mortals
with eyes Of vast favor
Obligingly, then, she flips n perfect
day, not just at it's end, as celebrated
by Mrs. Bond. but from dewy morn
to red-sun-setted evening.
Nature seems to say. you human
beings are funny creatures. You are
cold at my 60-degree temperature, and
hot at S5; you kick one day because
it is too hot, and the next because it
is too cold.
You have a rldicuIously small wave
band, in which you declare yourself
to he truly comfortable.
We'll, today l am doing my best to
please you. My sun Is golden, my
sky is sweet Alice blue, or something
along that line, my clouds and little
"hatnots OF just the right tinge and
consistency.
60 to It. then--be happy. be happy,
be happy"
Washington needed no second invi.
tation.
With one accord, the city turned out
at least. that was the way 1t seemed
10 one observer, as he plodded his
merry way from Eleventh street and
pennsylvania avenue to the vicinity
or the Western High School.
ask the bus driver, If you don't believe
1t. This was our personal guesa as
TO the distance. and we asked driver
Tor confirmation. He says 1t ID every
inch that much. Allowing for several
snort cuts through parks and 30 on,
a conservative three and one-half
miles Is arrived at. Try to get there
any shorter!
In passing, let 1t be noted that
Western High School is spruoins ur.
and thereby takes it's old place as per.
haps the stateliest, most classical an.
pearing secondary school In the Dis.
trict.
One may be forgiven for feeling that
too many Of our high schools look
like high-class factories or nifty cor
rectional institutions, There are to.
day many factories throughout the
United States quite as high brow" In
appearance as some Of the latest high
schools.
It Is Westerns glory that it was
built before the day Of ultra modern
trick architecture. Imagine the au-
thorities erecting those great white
pillars on the front Of a recently built
institution!
The application of several coats of
paint to the old Western building and
to the addition converts the establish
ment from something bordering on the
'Raggedy-Ann" variety to a pleasing
architectural unit.
More and better grass, too, on the
east and north sides add materially
to the campuslike character Of the
Western school. May one who has
taken an interest in this place extend
his congratulations to the school au.
thorities?

THE COUNTY FAIR,
THEN AND NOW

It is interesting to compare this
yeaI county fair, which will be
held August %, 20, 80 and 81 at
;Hibbing, with the county fairs of
twenty or thirty years ago, before
the era of good roads and automo-
biles.
In those etys the county fair was
a local affair. Nearly all those who
attended came from within the
radius of fifteen miles. A few
came longer distances by train or
team, but this was exceptional. If
it rained before noon, no one ever
came from outside the city, and
fair was closed for the day. !.
Today with trunk highways and
state aid roads reaching from Dor
der to border of the county, fifty
mile jaunt to the county fair is a
short drive. Not only is the total
attendance larger than it was gen
Grafton ago, but the crowd is much
n.v.s representative of the whole
county. /,
In fact the crowd is not confined
to one county any more. Inc
county fair is getting to be more
and more homecoming for former
residents of the county who have
moved elsewhere. Many of them
come 100 miles or more to visit the
old home town and meet their
friends. Frequently they arrange
in advance to meet at the fair
grounds.
Nor are all the long distance
visitors former residents. Some of
them are people who for business or
political reasons want to keep up
acquaintances in this county. Some
are people who are just out for
pleasure trip. They like our NJ ads
and our scenery and the county fair
gives them an objective.
We notice that severa / county
fair managers find it worth while
to advertise in newspapers in dis
tant cities. This would have been
pure waste of money twenty-five
years ago.
The evening program is now
fixed part of nearly every county
fair. Before the days of good roads
and machines, people who had come
more than six or eight miles had to
start back right after supper, and it
was difficult to get crowd out in
the evening. Now those living close
by will go home and come back after
supper, and many VIII come thirty
or forty miles just for the evening
entertainment.
Rain is still a handicap, but it no
longer causes a total loss. With most
of the exhibits under cover, and
roads which are not affected by a
summer downpour, people come rain
or shine. In fact many farmers
who must "make hay while the sun
Shines" find time to come on a
rainy day. Last year good roads
saved many county fair from hav-
ing red figures on its books.

Included in the audience were a
