Free Press Staff Photo h i Br(ok1 ir -Bylines By BETTY-JEAN BLYTH 1~1Call 655-3679 wlth Items for this column As in many small communities, time in Brooklin is measured each year flot by the phases of the moon but by the passing of local events that directly affect the majority of us. So, if you listen to people trying to pinpoint a certain happening, you will of- ten hear themn refer to it as "before the Fair" or "af- ter the Fair" - our own version of BC and AD. This year of 1986 promises to be even more of a landmark as we celebrate 75 years of Fairs in fair weather and foui. There is a local saying that "it neyer rains on Brooklîn Spring Fair" and although this is a slight exageration, it seems so because no matter what the weather, the spirits of the crowds are nieyer dampened. Over the years it has grown from a one day affair to four days packed with exciting activities for the whole family. From the Miss Brooklin Pageant and Opening Ceremonies right through to the Fiddle and Step Dance Competition it is the focal point of the whole community. Even though new things such as the tractor pull and the baby contest have been ad- ded over the years, the essence is still the same as it always has been. It permeates the whole village and draws us back again and again. Those who can resist the music of the midway with the cries of the barkers and the squeals of mock terror from the riders, the lows, baas and whinnies of the livestock, the heady perfume made up of hot dogs, french fries and candy floss mixed in with more earthy aromas are still drawn by the general excitement and the chance of meeting old friends not seen since last year. Tables I Four picnic tables I were stolen fromn the One Stop Restaurant at 6825 Baldwin St. in Brooklin over the *weekend. The four tables were removed fromn the patio area of the restaurant and are valued at $300. FRÃ"M PG. 5 Each fair is the culmination of a full year of ac-> tivity. Housewives sewing, baking preserving, gar- dening; farmers feeding, fattening, grooming; children practising, creating, dreaming and saving their pennies for one glorlous orgy of spending. There is an old superstition that if you sit in a cer- tain outdoor cafe in Montmarte in Paris long enough, the whole world will pass by. I don't know about that but I do know that if you comne from this area and take up a position on one of the bleachers overlooking the midway at the fair, sooner or later, you'll see everyone you ever knew from around these parts. The charin of the Fair is that the organizers have managed to retain its old fashioned flavour while in- troducing some modern sophistication. The corn- bination is irresistable. Forget Ontario Place, Canada's Wonderland or Expo, they can't compete with the family reunion atmosphere of Brooklin Spring Fair. lIl be there, will you? PANCAKE BREAKFAST This year, the Scouts annual pancake breakfast will be held at the Community Centre on Cassles Rd. E. Be sure to get out and support the boys, even late risers van get ini on it as it runs from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is a great way to start off the last day of Fair activities. CHARTER NIGHT The new Brooklin Lions Club will hold its Charter Night at Thunderbird Golf and Country Club on, June 20 in the forni of a dinner and dance. They are stili looking for new members so if you'd like to get in on this, caîl Mike Beer at 655-3884. LIBRARY NEWS The library wilI be closed this Saturday but watch for the Bookworm in the parade.

FATHER'S DAY SPECIAL The fathers of St. Leos Parish really believe in the old adage that it is more blessed to give than to receive because this year on Father's Day, instead of having breakfast in bed, they are providing a pancake and sausage breakfast for the community. It promises to be a fun affair with a picnic-like air as it will be held outdoors beside the church on June 15 fromn 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. The cost is just $3 for adults and $1 .75 for children.

During their heyday as the national governme nt, the Liberals were notorius for attempting to impede the flow of information from the government to the general public. As a journalist and as a citizen, 1 cringe every time 1 hear a news account of some civil servant being fired or punished in some other manner for speaking his or ber mind on an issue that he or she obviously either knows about or cares about. While it is also obvious to me that it is the duty of a civil servant to carry the policies of a duly elected government, that duty should not be considered a "gag" order. Nor should it be grounds for disciplinary action when a employee of the government or one of its Crown comrpanies is asked a question by a citizen and taxpayer. It is the citizen's right to oppose to what that employee has to say, but those comments should be used to improve and stimulate debate on public policy not to punish the person makinfg them. Free speech isn't an ideal in this country. It's as real as a slap on the face and it's about time that ail political parties, in or out of power, realized it. .
