There were two outstanding
highlights at the opening of
the Clinton Spring Fair, Satur-
day. One was an historical re-
sume of the area by Dr. G. E.
Hall, president of the Univer-
sity of Western Ontario, and
the other was a presentation
to A. J. McMurray, veteran
fair official.
Dr. Hall surprised the crowd
at the fair as he revealed high-
lights that were unknown to
most.
Noting the fair had been in
existence since 1854, Dr. Hall
reviewed the life of Clinton in
those early days.
He explained that in 1879,
Clinton was known as a manu-
facturing town, with the chief
industries being the salt busi-
ness and the agricultural works
of McPherson, Glasgow, and
Co., which manufactured steam
and horse powered separators
known by the trade name "Cli-
max", and these were shipped
around the world.
The town boasted several
fanning, grist and saw mills. as
well as an organ factory, tan-
neries and carriage shops.
One of the more noteable
achievements in Clinton ' in,
those early years was Grants
"excelsior" hay fork. This was
invented here and sold over
the world, and won medals in
expositions held in London.
England; Paris, France and in
Australia. '
Dr. Hall also paid credit to
Horatio Hale, one of. the better
known men in science, who
came from here.
The noted London education-
alist said it was the first time
he had ever been called on to
open a fair, and he said he was
glad to do it in Huron County,
"because you have such good
farms and such good people."
Noting that the people in the
area were always interested in
high quality in their agricul-
tural products, •Dr. Hall termed
the fair "a great agricultural
event as well as an educational
activity."
Receives Clock
Mr. McMurray, secretary-
treasurer of the Spring Fair
for 35 years, was presented
with an inscribed walnut man-
tel clock by John Deeves and
W. J. Dale, two past presidents
of the Central Huron Agricul-

"He has been one of the
hardest workers the fair has
ever had," Deeves stated, in
pointing out the long service
of the 86-year-old fair enthus-
iast.
Mr. McMurray, who is still a
director of the fair, pointed
out that he had never done
what he had in hopes of re-
ceiving any gifts.
"I feel agriculture is the
greatest basic industry in Hur-
on County and I have been
glad to take a part in it," he
stated.
He noted the fair was estab-
lished for the purpose of unit-
ing the rural people with those
in town, explaining the two
were very much dependent up-
on each other.
He paid tribute to "those up
and down main street" and the
"rural folk" for contributing to
the fair.
He also paid special tribute
to "the folks at home" for aid-
ing him in the vast work en-
tailed in the position.
Following Mr, IC/IcMurray's
very able reply, Tory Gregg
led the crowd in singing "For
He's a Jolly Good Fellow".

afternoon's lively show', came

A close friend of the popular
Clinton man, Gregg said the
fair didn't seem the same with-
out him, noting that Mr. Haw-
kins was always one of the
first to welcome him into Clin-
ton on fair day.
"Clinton has lost a great
sportsman," Gregg stated in tri-
bute to Mr. Hawkins. "He has
done more to promote Clinton
in the past 20 years than any
other individual I have ever
known," he concluded.
