MIDWAYS, RACES
DEBATE'RESULTS
IN A DRAW
A discussion of the, placeaof. hor-
se racing and midways at fairs
ended .in..a.,,,draw gat; the .annual
meeting of the Ontario Association
of Agricultural Societies held an
the King Edward Hotel, Toronto,
but not before. some intelesting
views on the subject had been re-
vealed.
M. L. (Tory) Gregg, Wingham
and Mrs. Alex Anderson, Stratford,
took the affirmative side in a de-
bate' on the' eitbjeat resolved, that
too much stress is being placed on
midways and horse racing at fairs.
Ray Wilson, Avonmore, and Char-
lotte McCullough, Georgetown,
took the negatiee,
Miss McCullough thought some
of the midway stunts at fall fairs
did a lot for education and also
contributed to deflation of the ,ego
of some rural and urban types:
For instance, said Miss McCul-
lough, there was the man who
whammed the overgrown hammer
down in a valiant effort to ring
the bell three times. If successful
he probably got a box of chocolates
worth about half what he paid to
test his strength. That; she felt
should help him 'find his proper
place. .
Then there was the cigar that
went to other contestants.' Miss
McCullough felt the after-effects
of that cigar should have a bene-
ficial effect on some young men.
The resultant nausea, she felt,
should let them know they were-
n't quite the men they might have
thought prior to trying to ring
the bell.
Miss McCullough thought some
of the games of chance on the
midway had a part to play, too.
It was very educational for young

REBECCA ANN MeCLINCEEEY
(By our Bayfield correspondent)
Funeral service was held in
Preston on Saturday evening, Feb-
ruary 7, followed by service in
Bayfield on Sunday afternoon,
February 8, for Rebecca Ann Mc-
Clinchey, Preston, who passed
away at the home of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Alvin Holm, Preston, af-
ter a lengthy illness, Rev. E.
Carew - Jones, Trinity Anglican
Church, Bayfield, was assisted by
Rev. L. Wattam, Grand Bend, in
conducting the service.
Pall-bearers were Robert Mc-
Clinchey, Leroy McClinchey,
Stockridge, Mich.; Robert. Quigg,
Roy Holm, Preston; Kenneth Bol-'
lenbacken, Midland, Mich,; Lloyd
Tice, Clare, Mich,
Born in Goshen, Indiana, on Au-
gust 6, 1870, Mrs. McClinchey was
the daughter of the late Mr. and
Mrs. S. Snider. After her mar-
riage in Varna, to Henry Mc-
Clinchey, they lived for a short
time near Zurich, and for a num-
ber of years lived in Michigan,
they coudn't get something for
nothing. In other words, some of
the money they lost at small fairs
would be a valuable investment in
learning,
Mr Gregg had to agree that 'all
wasn't bad with horse racing and
midways-at fall fairs. He admitted
a high quality list of races was
beneficial, and so was a good mid-
way. Only fault he had to find
was that malty fairs offered a poor
list of midway attractions and low
quality races.
His aide, Mrs. Anderson, said
many fairs were able to get along
without either midway or races.
This was countered by Ray Wilson
who said the,races and the midway
helped pay for the prize money
given in: agricultural classes. And
all those classes helped promote
better agriculture in the province.
Forest, in his presidential address,
said: "In many localities the gen,
eral public is taking more interest
in the farmer and regarding.00r
fall fairs as one of the 'g'teatfeeents
of the year." ,
Clarence M. Le'e;E Berle, describ-
ing the ideal fair* fromea -patron's
view, stated that the, midway was
always a subject for argument, He
suggested the men who run the
province's fairs could do quite a
bit to improve the midway situa-
tion. He added:
"Let us say that the average
operator of midway concession is
not what might be determined a
highly desirable citizen. This char-
acter is usually unshaven, unshorn,
shabbly dressed, disobeying the
rules of ordinary, orderly living.
But what do you do to help this
condition? Do you provide a wash-
room where he may clean up?"
