Tomatoes picked for canning must
be judged by their color to the right
degree of ripeness. Women em-
ployed by tomato pickers, or graders,
frequently paint their niuger nails
the color of the ripened tomato at
its most perfect stage so that a high
degree of uniformity may be main-
tained.

This column needs a word of ex-
nation. It was written three
eeks ago when the Siampede was
sot such a dim distant event. But
5 Our last two issues were mere
“x-page efforts, this corner got left
ut in the shuffle for more import-
ant news.

if it had not been already “set”, T
would have probably serepped it and
Written something else, but it seem-
ed a shame to waste the time and
money it cost to print it.

So, late or not. here it is...

MORE ABOUT THE STAMPEDE

Along with quite a number of other |
people, I get a kick out of the wrest-
ling shows. Although exponents and_
icipants of thé noble art will pro-
ly disagree very strongly with me.
I feel that 90% of the game is bur-
lesque. They pound the canvas, emit
Sroans and pull horrible faces as their
Opponents grip their feet in a death-
tock. A few minutes later they hop
to their feet with no evidences of the
terrible strain! The hero is the home-
town boy who fights clean, while the
ng wrestler is a dirty snake who
uses illegal tactics and is vigorously
booed by the audience.

I must admit though that in the
recent bout between Felix Kohnke
and Chief Thunderbird when a gooa
part of the bout took place in the
audience and blood dripped from
Felix’s brow, I was in there chewing
my fingernails with the rest of the
female population. Whether it was
on the level or not, I'll probably neve)
know. ;

Almost as much fun, is watching
the audience. There is usualiy th:
srey-haired lady who gets carried
away by her emotions and tells the
referee in no uncertain terms just
what she thinks of HIM as well as
exhorting the hero to “come on and
kill him (the villain)!” There are
the horrified faces of those who arc
witnessing their first match, and the
half-worried, half-amused faces of
those such as myself who are wor
guite sure of whether this is the real
McCoy or not.

Allin all, a good show. ....

The much-mooted Midway was a
disappointment to most people. I had
hoped for Fun Houses, bingo games,
decent sideshows and a greater va
ety of rides. And no music! Who ever
heard of a merry-go-round without
2 calliope? Perhaps I was expecting
too much, but the two rows of “skill
games" did not offer much in the
way of fun. In fact, from the reports
that are sifting through town, resi-
dents were parted from sums ot
money ranging from $30 to $750 at
atest rumor.

Fortunately for us, we learned a
hard lesson about these “come-on™
games at the PNE yea ago, when
we lost the munificent sum of $5.00. |
At that time, $5.00 meant as much
as $50.00 now and we were stunned
by our misfortune.

The Stampede Association can hard- |
ly be blamed for the poor quality of |
the show. They are trying their best |
to provide good entertainment for
the people who throng to town, and
had no way of knowing that the ad-
vance exposition ballyhoo was just
that . +. ballyhoo.

Which brings me to. another obser-
vation; and that is the failure of the
‘own as a whole to back the Stam-
pede. Perhaps many people fee: that
the Stampede is no asset to the town.
If so, you can quit reading now. But
if you think it should continue, it is |
up to everyone of us to get behind
it and help put it over.

There is a decided lack of atmos- |

:

phere at our Stampedé, Anyone com-
ing into town would be. greeted by
strings of rolored lights, but other
than that there is no evidence that
anything unusual si going on in
town.

Someone was telling Clive recently
of a rodeo held in a Fraser Valley
town. For a week oF so’ ahead,
“practically the whole popwiation
wore jeans and steisons, and sported

, ty Buns—even the waitresses in the

cafes. In other words, everyone got
into the act.

And here we are in the heart of
the “last trontier’” and our cowboy
atmosphere is about as Western as
Times Square. Except for the events
at the Stampcde grounds, we are a
staid little town going about its busi-
ness in the usual manner,

This is not a reflection on the Stam-
ede Association- They are a small
sroup of people trying todo a tremen-
dous job with little or no help from
the town. Why don’t some of the
ther organizations sponsor contests

uch as a beard-giowing race or
ome such novelty? Anything to give

little color. Either that, or get in
nd join the Stampede Association
snd make a_large group that could
eally put the show ov.

It's time to quit criticizing, and

ime to get in and start pitching.

When cork was scarce, fishermen
on the Great Lakes used to use the

hick outer bark of the base of old
velsam poplars as floats for a
