County Fairs
Growing Bigger ..
By JANE EADS J
WASHINGTON — State and
county fairg are growing bigger,
with 80 per cent of all those at
tending them living in cities and‘
larris Baldwin, chief of the ex- ‘
} s seetion, Department of Agri
cu'ture, has designed, planned,
booked and shipped its exhibits
to fairs, farmers’ meetings and
conventions all over the country.]
We have to talk loud and fast,”
he told me. “By talking loud I
mean we use vivid eolors, life and
animation. By fast, we try to de
¢igon an exhibit so that within 30
scconds the average person can
grasp our idea.” Mr. Baldwin says
that studies made at the New York
World’s Fair of the Department’s
own exhibits showed that people
don't look at an exhibit a full
minute. They also show you don’t
need a full minute to get an-idea
into somebody’s head.
People don't remember the de
talls, s 0 we don't try to get many
into an exhibit,” he said, “we just
lefer the visitors to our publica
tions or to a local agricultural
agoe ylt."
fxhibits for the big shows
sometimes spread out 125 feet and
take a freight car to ship. The
falrs pay two thirds of the freight
and furnish space, labor and
trucklng costs. The Department
sent carload exhibits to about 22
big state fairs and livestock shows
{ year, and smaller single ship
ments to some 70 little fairs, meet
ing and eonventions,
Backing Us his eontention that
fairs are getfing bigger every year,
Mr. Baldwin said 'ime Texas State
Fair at Dallas in 1951 boasted an
(:‘*f‘z;dance of 2,320,000, while
Minnesota’s state show drew close
0 a million and the Los Angeles
County Fajir 1,076,000.
lhe exhibits section starts mak
ing plans in June for fairs to be
neld in the fall. Exhibits range
lrom swsdeels strictly agricultural,
such a 8 how to dry grain, to
broader things like soil conserva
tion and telling consumers how
10 know the quality of eggs. Cur
ently, the section is working on
-L‘ educational exhibit for the
Slxth International Grassland

[t's Seldom
Fatal fl
To Be Forty
By CYNTHIA LOWRY
AP Newsfeatures Writer
There seems to be an unusually
large number of books, articles
and pieces of advice around these
days aimed directly and devasta
tingly at an unorganized minority
group: the American woman on
the far side of 40.
For a long time, a woman’s 40th
birthday has been built up until
now it’s a milestocne in her life
which assumes importance entire
ly out of proportion with most
women’s feelings and reactions.
If anyone were to ask me why
soo many women lie about their
ages, I'd say that most of us start
ed in an effort to push away and
keep away as long as possible the
evil day when we were publicly
bracketed in ' that disagreeable
term of “middle age.”
Personally, of course, I'm just
_breaking out of my teens into
the glorious twenties, but I've no
ticed that almost everyone who
writes and talks about the post-40
group does so comfortingly, the
way & family doctor soothes a
patient who has a serious disease
but who must be reassured at any
cost. This is very frightening, be
cause almost anyone so situated
can easily read between the lines.
In the course of recent casual
reading, I've stumbled across such
advice as that urging all women
under 40 to have an annual physi
cal checkup—but to make certain
they have one every six months
after that crucial birthday. This is
undoubtedly excellent advice, but
in such forthright form it sure
makes the post-40 reader suspect,
with considerable anxiety that the
old machine which she has found
so dependable ‘for four decades
has overnight become an untrust
worthy jalopy.
If the beauty and charm ad
visors were followed to the letter,
goodness knows what weird look
ing and acting women the turned
-40 group would be. The over-40
woman, for instance, should take
particular patns with her appear
ance—just as if she had been able
to get away during the 20’s and
30’s with untidiness and sloppi
ness. She should use makeup with
a more lavish—and more discreet
—hand. She should do all sorts of
fancy stuff with her hair. She
should pick her clothes with in
finite care. She should be particu
larly careful about her family re
lationships. She should watch her
diet, exercise, take naps, tepid
baths. In other words, she should
put in something like a 23-hour
day taking care of herself.
And at the same time, just as if
it were possible, she should make
a new, stimulating life for her
self, putting in a major portion of
her time doing some kind of con
structive work—volunteer. of paid
—because this will carry her out
side of herself and give her “in
terests.” (“Interests” keep a wo
man from being a bore to her
family, the experts are unanimous
in agreeing.) She should keep up
with the news, books, theatre, but

V*ME, TOO'—Jane Wyman
(makes & welcome contribution
'as she joins the latest Hollywood
itrend of “movies are hotter than
:over." Jane began her screen
‘career as a dancer, but not for
geveral years has she worn such
revealing outfits as this one,
which shows her as & Broadway
‘song-and-dance star in “Just for
. You.”, i
she must not under any eireum
stances go in for afternoon bridge
parties. She must learn how to be
an extremely adroit hostess, en
tertain a great deal, and at the
same time keep away from exces
ses in any area.
However, this over-40 woman is
held out In other quarters as thse
all-important reservoir of emer
gency man-power, She's the wo
man with the grown-up children,
the leisure time and the one who
can be tapped for all manner of
jobs when we need her.
No wonder the woman who has
turned 40 is a frightened, con
fused person. On one hand she
has the bejabbers scared out of
her by a picture of one plunging
down the road toward senility and
poor health, faced with the pros
pect of losing her looks, her ap
peal and—if she’s not really care
ful—her spouse, And on the other
‘hand, she’s painted as the savior
of America, the one important
person with time, intelligence and
ability to keep the wheels turning
in a time of need. |
This being a campaign year, |
I'm in favor of a bi-partisan drive
to take the terror out of birthdays
and to assume as we do for so
many other things—that each per
son is an individual and that age
is not a matter of years but of a
combination of other factors, not
forgetting the state of one’s art
eries.
