About 92 delegates from 16
fair societies in the Huron-Perth
district attended • the rn'eeting,
"the ., best turnout in years"
according to Donald young.
After the Men's and Woman's
divisions gave reports 'on their
• loca 1 fairs, they met iii joint
session to hear the views of a
guest pahel on fall fairs of the
future.
Chard Lange of Stratford was
moderator of the panel. Ile re-
minded delegates that small fairs
are more of a corn menity, effort
• than bigger ones and that they
wer e making' a contribution to
their corn Trinities.
Clarence Charietort of Ilder-
ton, past president of OASS and
of his local Ilderton' Agricultural
Society told delegates they must
come up with new programs for
local' fairs to keep public interest •
from declining. Since fairs near
cities get a lot of urban visitors
who, have an agricultural back-
ground, he said, fairs that rem ain
agricultural fairs are bound to
succeed in the future,
Mrs. Orville Okeeof Seaforth,
• a newspaper correspondent, said
fall fairs should be changed to
summer fairs to avoid conflict
with the harvest of corn and
white beans, predominant crops
in this region in recent years.
She, added that for summer visi-
tors from Lake Huron beaches
a day at the fair would be a
welcome diversion. Sire noted
that with the new county school
boards fair day is often no longer
a school holiday hence a surnmA.,_r
fair would accommodate school
children. She advised fair direc-
tors to become. better public •

than most boards would face.
A bill for $45 for cutting
grass at W. Boniface Scbool in
Zurich during past summer was
passed for payment.
Trustee Francis Hicknell,
R.R. 5, Seaforth, reported it a,
very worthwhile day when he
attended the daylong workshop on
teaching religious education at
the professional development day
for separate school teachers held
in Stratford Wednesday.
The board mem5ers agreed
that any trustee or school could
participate in placing a wreath
at Remembrance Day eeremonies
in any community if a trustee or
a school desired to do this.
Mr. Vintar said a number of
letters had been received from
staff in appreciation for the priv-
ilege of attending the Live-Ins and
the Professional Development
days, both to assist teachers in
religious education instruction
in the schools, and also the staff
dinner held recently. Mr. Vintar
reported these events strength-
ened the ties uniting the teachers,
the administrative staff and the
board mernaiers into a successful
working unit.
The board members agreed
to hold only one meeting in Dec-
em'ier and it will be in Strat-
ford on December 17.
About 200 separate school
teachers, priests, school trust-
ees, members of C atholic Par-
ents Teachers AsSociation and
parents attended the final work-
shop at a Professional Develop-
ment Day held in Stratfiird last
Thursday. The theme for the day
was audio-visual man for teaching
religious education in the separ-
ate schools in Huron and Perth.
A highlight of the day was the
luncheon talk by Most Rev, G.
Emmett, Carter, Roman Catholic
Bishop of London, on The Chal-
lenge to Catholic Education To-
day.
The bishdp said Catholics find
it devastating that some people
should' favour a, single monoli s
thic school system. "We are
precisely interested in the fact
that all sorts of variety should
be available in a free commun-
ity", he said, adding that because
Roman Catholics have their own
er. philosophy of life they don't want
to abide by that of others.
The, school system should be
able to reflect thOse different
philosophies, he said, because
the only alternative for Roman
Catholics is a school system
which is becoming more and
,more like that in the United
States in which invoking the name
of God, for example, is forbidden
by the constitution. He added that
on the-other hand, if all separate
schools can after is a wholly
secular education. he would be
the first to abandon them
