UP-TO-DATE HEATING IS. COMING FAST, ri 'FOLKS WHO'VE L. NSTALLED IT, KNOW IT'S HERE TO LAST' PLUMBING-HEATING ELECTRIC 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."

Team captain, Betty Daer, is shown above receiving the top team tural Society. "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". Pay Respects Only sombre note in the afternoon's lively show', came when Gregg asked the crowd to rise with him in a minute's Learn of Korean Missionaries Mrs. William Cook was in charge of the devotional exer- cises for the Women's Mission- ary Society of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church and op- ened the meeting with the call to worship and a hymn follow- ed by scripture reading and the Glad Tidings prayer by Mrs. J. Makins. In the absence of the presi- dent, Mrs. M. Lobb took ch- arge of the business and the study, book, showing maps where the church had mission- aries in Korea. A committee was appointed to get in con- tact with the Mission band and to report at next meeting ab- out entertaining them. Secretaries a n d treasurers reports were adopted as read and after singing a hymn the meeting was closed with pray- er 'by Mrs. Lobb. 2195 Yonge 9t. Toronto '?
