The directors planned a bus trip as a 1952 project. President Tom. Salkeld, Lucknow, presided at the meeting and secretary- treasurer is G, W. Montgomery, Clinton, agricultural representa- tive for Huron County. Despite ideas to the contrary and also that of changing It into a fall fair, Clinton Spring Show will be held as usual again this year. Suggested date is Wednesday, June 4, but that has not yet been decided, Pending a meeting of the 1952 directors. Decision was made, after some discussion, at the annual, meeting of Huron Central Agricultural Society in the Board Room, On- tario Agricultural Office, Satur- day afternoon. Two important suggestions were made that likely will. be ' acted upon. Their object was to accentuate local interest in the Fair. One was that local classes be added, to include exhibitors of the area in friendly competition, meanwhile keeping up the high' standard of exhibits set in re- cent years. The other was that a Junior Fair be held, with Junior Farm- ers competing in special livegtock classes all of their own, Both found considerable sup- port among those assembled for the annual meeting. Directors Elected President J. F. Clegg was in the " chair with A, J. McMurray as secretary. Election of directors resulted as follows: Hullett: W. 3. Dale, W. L. es, Whyte, Ephraim Snell, John Van- Egmond; Tuckersmith: Robert Allan, William Pepper, W. P. Roberts; Goderich Township: W. R. Lobb, A. H. Warner, Robert Stirling; Stanley: J.

McMurray pre- sented the financial report for the year, which indicated a bank balance of $141.45, as against an outstanding note at the bank due February 5, 1952, amounting to $514.25. The report indicated- that the $900 note outstanding a year ago had been reduced by $400 during the year. Replies to Questionnaire A, J. McMurray read ten an- swers to questionnaires sent out earlier this year to exhibitors re- garding the holding of a spring or fall show. • Most favoured a spring show. Night Show Supported Discussion on the matter of holding a night performance in- dicated a desire to continue this feature, inaugurated in 1951. Local Interest Needed When the meeting was thrown open for discussion of measures to increase local interest, var- ious opinions were advanced. W. j. Miller; reeve of Clinton, said if the fair could get some- thing to interest the public, more people would attend, He fav- oured more local classes. Rev. D. J. Lane spoke in similar vein. G. W, Montgomery, agricultural representative for Huron County, suggest-6*d classes for local ex- hibitors to create greater local interest in the fair. E. J. Jacob thought a Junior Fair for the younger generation would be a good idea. Gordon Orr, reeve of Goderich Township, was of the opinion that special classes for the younger farmers were needed. W. R. Lobb uged the coopera- tion of all the directors to make the show a success. He also fav- oured added attractions such as indicated. W. B. Perdue thought, local interest could be increased throegh shaving classes for local exhibitors. He also favoured the night performance. E. J. Jacob stated that the horse races increased the attend- ance.
