Exhibits Increase
At Blyth Fair
The weatherman was kinder to
Blyth Fall Fair Wednesday than he
has been on other Blyth fair dates
of recent years, and the fair-
grounds were. thronged with and of
the biggest crowds in several
years. A horse show in front of
the grandstand, a county champion-
ship 4-H dairy calf show, and a
regional Guernsey show helped fill
out the list of attractions and draw
spectators.
The agricultural show at the fair
included one of the biggest show-
. ing of sheep at any Western On-
tario fair this year. Six breeders
brought out a total of 115 head, to
this village where the principal lo-
cal industry depends on the pro-
• cessing of sheepskins.

fair this year was the scene of
the annual regional show for El-
, gin, Lambton, Middlesex and Hur-
on counties. A Iocal breeder, W..
.J. Dale, had a successful day at
the Guernsey show, with a com-
plete sweep ' of the championships
in the female division. Four daugh-
ters of Mr. and Mrs. Dale, Wilma,
Deana, Kathy and Cheryl, were in
the Guernsey ring at one time,
showing the junior champion., re-
serve junior champion, senior and
grand champion and reserve sen-
ior champion.
•The fair was officially opened by
Elston Cardiff, Brussels, MP for
Huron, who congratulfated the di-
rectors of the fair on the big live-
stock show, and on the unusually
large number of indoor exhibits in,
the women's division of the fair.

Morritt, reeve of Blyth; Thomas
Leiper, reeve of Hullett; James
Mair, Brussels, a director of the
Ontario 'Association bf Agricultural
Societies, and former chairman, of
the Perth -Huron district of the
OAAS, and John Hanna, Wingham,
