disapproval or the plan to operate the hxral Fair on Sunday.We feel that this will have a disturbing effect on the whole community for the following reasons a) It will open the way for a wide open Sunday locally which will bring to an end the peace and quietness of our traditional Lord's Day observance, h) It will able division and discord in the continuity.in homes with children, and among friends and neighbours, o It will force employees of the Agricultural Society, the midway, the exhibitors, operators of concession booths, etc Sunday.We hope, and pray the Directors of the Fair will re-exa mine the matter and consider the possible damage it will bring to tire good-will and respect of the people of Shawville area.This year Shawville celebrates 100 years of social and economic progress.Ivct us do nothing to spoil the anniversary celebration by such unnecessary and harmful such as keeping our Fair open on the Lord's Day.Sincerely yours, The Executive, Christian Business Men

Sunday part of the fair program would come from people who may find it hard to decide for themselves whether they will go to the fair or stay away and do whatever they usually do on Sunday.I here might be people in Shawville who object to others eating in restaurants, or watching television, or driving their cars on Sunday.While they are trying to control the Sunday activities of other people, should they perhaps carry this further than simply one country fair?Dear Mrs Dixon In all fairness to the Langford) wishes of all persons in our community, I feel that the issue in regard to the
