Murray Gaunt, in speaking of '

are an outstanding group-and'are
already well organized to cope"
with the issues in the • : '

slow to, offer their assistance when a helping hand is needed.
Helping hands are :needed in: the Lucknow: Agricultural Society:.
This past several years a number of ; new, enthusiastic men and women
have joined the ranks.. However,: the . numbers Of active workers in
the. Lucknow Agricultural • Society is still quite small.
:.The. Lucknow Fair is one of the very few events in our commun-
ity which brings town and country together in very • large numbers.:
e• t e: ro e i f the Fair. has changed ove the years; the basic-
success is still in the fact that it is centred^around people of city, -:town'
and country, getting together for at least one day in the year.
BOORISH BEHAVIOUR
Luekmow Agricultural Society's . first "Queen of the: •Fair" con-
test on Friday night drew a good number of entries.:
The final judging at Lucknow and 'District Public School :was,
interrupt_eti, and_spoiled,:.by the_.:actions of a number: of young .;people
in the audience whomight be described as ignorant, it mannered, rude
and selfish:
While the majority ..of those .,in attendance strained theirears.
to hear the master of ceremonies interviewing_ the girls and the an-'
nouncement; of the winners, a group of those' present amused 'them-:
selves by idle chatter and `noise and a display of the worst manners
we have seen for sometime.
. It was unfair to those who paid an :admission: charge for nothing
other than to 'see the Queen contest,. it was' unfair to the :contestants,
the M.C. and: the judges: It was boorish.
