Fair Goes Back a Century

While this is only the 18th
annual Montgomery County
Fair in terms of consecutive
years, history of the gala event
stretches back lis years.
1t was born in the minds of
members of the Montgomery
County Agricultural Society and
was first held in the then more
spacious grounds of the County
Courthouse on East Montgom-
cry ave.
In those days, before rail or
train, exhibitors in the fair
would drive their horses, cattle
and sheep to their show pens
right through the city's main
street much to the disgust of
housewives plagued with clouds
of dust stirred up by hooves.
The Fair was relocated a
short time later to the grounds
of st. Mary's Catholic Church
where the old Georgetown I'd.
Joined the city (now the juno
ture of Rockville pike and Veirs
Mill rd).
Still later it was to move
across the pike to a site behind
the now existing Richard Mont
gomery High School. 1t stayed
at this last site until financial

the Fair. But anything like the
Fair and its hundreds of specta-
tors constituted a rare thrill for
farm children before and short.
ly after the turn of the century.
The emphasis was on agricuI-
ture and horseflesh in those
days. Winning a prize for the
best corn exhibited, for instance,
had far-reaching financial
meaning to the lucky farmer
who gained considerable stature
in farm circles.
Similarly, the man with the
best dray horses in the weight
pulling contests could probably
count on plenty of hired-out
heavy work for his teams.
And, too, the old time Fairs
were more of a social event for
visitors, many of whom took
that chance to revisit friends
and relatives unseen since the
previous Fair.
Cost of going to the Fair was
cheaper then. Programs dating
back 100 years revealed that pc
destrians were charged 1919
cents; children and servants
were admitted free. Horse and

woes caused it to close in 1928.
1t was not to be revived until
1919.
Old-timers still remember the
horse racing that dominated the
Fair, until in 1916 when the
Maryland Court of Appeals
ruled that private professional
racing was unlawful.

U. S. Is in Critical Position Due
To Growing Pressure Within IT, N.

The sweat box is growing
very hot for President Ken
nedy over "the Chicoms," the
Chinese Communist regime.
It is palmer day by day
that when British Prime
Minister Harold Macmillan
has his first meeting in
Washington on April 5 with
the President the atmosphere
is going to be made a little
= humid by "the Chicoms."
Support for putting Com

1t is picking UP nations which
formerly backed us in resist
ing the entrance into a world
organization Of a bandit re-
gime which made still-unre-
pented war on that organiza-
tion-and on us-in Korea.
The argument Of the pro-
recognizers rests upon what
they are fond of calling "the
facts Of life" These facts
of life," as they call them,
are as follows:
Communist China is a
vast, going power, whereas
Nationalist China, in It's re-
doubt Of FormoSa, Is neither.
There can be no chance Of
world disarmament unless
the Chinese Communists are
let into the United Nations.
Much Of the world has
long since been willing to
recognize the Chicoms-so
why not the United States?
And the Nationalist Chi
nese leader. Chang Kai-
shek, is finished, anyhow.
In simple truth, however,
this reasoning is based far
more on theories of life than

a vast majority Of Congress,

of their peaceful intention

This is obviously a poor

Prime Minister Macmillan
is a sensible man, a good,

no dogmatism of his own to

Was the change In admin
istration here o fortunate or
unfortunate event In world
affairs2 It could turn out
either way. Time alone can
tell-maybe 1t will be another
year before the full effect
can be appraised.
Arguments can be made on
both sides. In support, how
ever, Of the theory that it
was wise to change admins
trations, there's an ancient
tale which gains modern sig
nificance because 1t was told
by Winston Churchill at
breakfast with some cabinet
officers in the Eisenhower
administration on the occa-
sion OF one Of his visits to
Washington.
It is the story Of q native
of o Middle Eastern country
who was sentenced to die.
After several days in prison
he confided to some Of his
fellow prisoners, also con-
demned to death, that he had
q new plan to save himself.
"If the Shah," he said, will
give me Q reprieve Of only
one year, I'll promise to
teach his favorite bull to
fly"
But" said the other pris-
oners, you will be taking o
fatal chance. The rest Of us
win die q merciful death
one swish Of the sword-but
If you fail. you will die in
torture"
"Oh. no." exclaimed the
optimistic prisoner, as he
added: MANY things can
happen in q year. In the
first place. the Shah might
die. In the second place, the
bull might die. And in the
third place, I just might be
able to teach that bull to fly"
So 1t is possible that many
things can happen in the pc
riod just ahead as the Ken
nedy administration feels its
way In world affairs. Even
the Soviet dictator seems to
be willing to wait before de-
Gliding what attitude to take

Certainly it will take sew
eral months for the Ken

come fully informed on all

American relations and on
the many phases of policy
that tend to make the West
ern alliance look q bit shaky
today, What better excuse
for delay and caution, there

The lapse of time could, In

tive. There may be no as
surance in such maneuvers
that q nuclear war has been

be indefinitely postponed.
Critics on the other side
of the argument assume Just
the opposite position-that

deterioration in Cuba, in
Laos, in the Congo and in
the Middle East, as well as
the serious trouble France
has in Algeria, all add UP to

it Is contended, broke the

and even elected o President
for q fourth term in 1914 be-
cause they didn't want to

OF q war. This time 1t is
argued that the cold war"
presented an even riskier sit

administration has brought
to Washington a new set Of
policy-makers at the top who
can't possibly learn for an

and outs of the problems they
are forced to deal with every
