agination to picture the arrival of ] great caravans in any community.| All the populace would throng around while the beasts of burden were unloaded and the merchants set up their display of goods.It is there that we find, in a very crude form, perhaps, but, nevertheless, a very vivid portrayal of the present day Fair or Exhibition.The local people where the earvans stopped were quite eager to patronize the travelling merchants as they possessed goods foreign to the* local lllll p|S Ifliflp ^ r/ffl * mm.f; - gJll t mÊf i Sherbrooke\u2019s Exhibition Guests Are Invited To Visit \u201cTHE ROSE ROOM\u201d COCKTAIL LOUNGE AT THE New Chateau Frontenac FRED CONWAY \u2014 Proprietor.Comer of Wellington and Aberdeen Sts.\u2014 Tel.41 Sherbrooke, Que.community, and the housewives were very zealous to obtain something out of the ordinary for themselves in the way of raiment, or household equipment.When any group of men travel, there are bound to be some hangers-on, or, persons not immediately engaged in the business of a caravan.Such would be the persons designated to provide amusement.When the caravan would stop for the night, in the desert places, these individual* provided entertainment for the personnel of the caravan with their crude stunts and dancing \u2014and, when the caravan stopped in a centre of population, there they displayed their talents to the population of that community.As time went on, the entertainers found it to be advantageous to travel by themselves, without the merchants, and thus began the Travelling Circus, or Carnival, as we know it today.From these somewhat meagre beginnings it has grown until it is one of the leading industries of the world.As it has come down through the ages, it has 'brought with it certain legends, or i practices and superstitions, peculiar I to its own.Naturally, R has divided itself jinto fields of specialty, in that cer-jtain professions have found it more i beneficial to group themselves to-Igether and improve their fields of \u2019endeavor \u2014 and thus, today, we have the fourth and fifth generation af families following in the footsteps of their great-grandfathers To return to our thoughts once more, to the business side of the early caravans, we can find very many very vivid illustrations of the I progress of this particular enter-1 prise.One, perhaps, familiar to us jail is the manner in which Joseph\u2019s \u2019brethren sold him to a band of travelling merchants going into | Egypt.We can also recall the story of the gathering of the various men Special Thanksgiving Service Held At St.Luke\u2019s Church In Waterloo A special service of Thanksgiving and Praise was held in St.Luke\u2019s Anglican Church on Sunday morning in celebration of Peace.The Rector, Rev.Sidney Wood officiated, and member* of the Veterans, the C.G.I.T., the Boy Scouts ami Cubs attended in a body.The minister warmly welcomed those who were aiding in the celebration, and chose a* his text \u201cBlessed Are the Peacemakers, for they Shall be Called the Children o.when they rode to Bondvillo on a hay-rack, behind â tractor provided by Mr.Percy Chapman of Frost Village.They spent some time on this famous beach, and ended up with a picnic lunch.At & regular meeting of fch« Pro testant School Board, it wa* decided that, the Waterloo High School would open on September 4th, with the following teachers; Mr.O.T.Pickford, principal, Grades X and XI; Miss r.England, Grades VH!
