Show Attracts Large Crowd About nine hundred people in all attended the two performances of the McCormick-Deering power farm­ ing entertainment held in Dashwood on Wednedsay last. Valentine Beck- i er, local McCormick-Deering dealer of Dashwood arranged this pro­ gram, bringing to town Alt Darby, who specializes in magic and ven- ' triloquism as the main highlight of | the show. The afternoon perform- j ance held in Mr. Becker’s new show­ room was attended mostly by the grown-ups and in it special atten­ tion was given to farmers service needs. Roy Older, field engineer of the International Harvester Co., of London answered questions and lectured on power farming subjects. This is a good feature foi’ farmers —they are able to get valuable in­ formation on the caring of their equipment, free of charge, thus sav­ ing them money in the future. Moving pictures, interesting and educational supplied by^J. Ready, of London, also of the Harvester Com­ pany were a good feature of both afternoon and evening performances. In the evening the show was held in the Lutheran church shed. On account of the cold evening and poor heating facilities a much smaller crowd attended than last year when Mr. Becker had a show with the largest attendance of any show in Ontario. About 800 people attend­ ed the evening performance. Mr, A. J. McMurray, district blockman of the company, who act­ ed as chairman during the sho,w an­ nounced that so far this year thirty­ eight shows had been held by his company at points in Western On­ tario with a total attendance of about twenty-four thousand people. Mr. McMurray is to be congratulat­ ed for his handling of the Dashwood show and also for his professor As- khim contest in the evening at which, two teams consisting 6f local farmers competed for prizes donated by Mr, Valentihe Becker.
