A Last -Minute Trade Fair Committee Meeting •:9 6c o copy $2.501 se, Yen' Here in one of the booths ready for occupancy by an exhibitor at the Huron County Trade Fair, are some of the willing Clinton Lions petting together some last-minute plans for the event. At the left is Royce Macaulay, vice-president of the club, and BaIieId Lions Club Carnival Draws Crowd Monday Night Centralia proved the better team The Bayfield Lions were again forced to post -pone the carnival until the evening of Civic Holi- day, and it looked for a time as though there would be no ball game that night. However, a troop of ball -play- ing donkeys turned up in the village, and swiftly two teams of brave players were persuaded to attempt a ride to victory. In the hilarious match that followed when the summer visitors pitted their skill against Bayfield resi- dents, and all placed their strength and wiles against the winning donkeys, the- final score was rumored to be; Men -0; Don- keys -all. There were ponies for the children to ride, and certainly they had a busy night. Two of them belonged to Kenneth Mer- ner, and Roy Elliott and Max Mote .each provided a -pony. Those in charge of the various booths at the carnival included Fred Thompson, James Hutch and Mrs. Fred. Arkell, ring the coin; Lloyd Makins, Frank Tho- mpson, John Stewart, Earl Cox and Doug Stirling, chance on a dressed chicken; Fred Arkell and Mrs. Bob Turner, the shooting gallery. Reg Francis was in charge of the Bingo, where Arnold Makins called the numbers, and practic- ally every Lion in the park took a turn assisting. Helen Riley, Goderich, was the lucky winner of the Ford Tudor car, drawn by° Brenda Blair on the evening of the •annual Bay- field Lions Club carnival, held one Monday evening in the Lions Park at Bayfield. Les Elliott, secretary of the club, was in charge of the draw. Kenneth Merner is president. Rated as a possible failure be- cause of two postponements, the evening proved a good success, with many people attending from the surrounding district. Winners of the gate prize were Betty Lou. Nediger, Clinton, an electric 'tea kettle; James Stirl- ing, Bayfield, an electric iron and Harvey Taylor, Varna, an electric clock. A penny draw conducted by Mrs. Harvey Coleman and Mrs. Jack Scotchmer was well patron- ized. Winners. were; T. M. Lec- key, Bayfield Blanche Stevens son, Varna; Mrs. J. Smith, God- erich; Jossie Metcalf, Bayfield; Linda Scotchmer, Bayfield; Ray Pepper, Oshawa; Mrs. J, Baron, Bayfield; Ed Gascho, Zurich; Mrs. M. McFadden, Bayfield and Ed Gascho, Zurich, Originally planned for July 22, the Carnival was to include a ball game between the Kitchen- er—Waterloo flying Dutchmen Alan Cup winners of last year, and the Centralia RCAF team. Upon post-ponement to July 29, because of rain, the ball teams agreed to come back, and the game was played that evening.
