But, despite the weather, nearly 3,000 attended the event, considered Western Ontario's largest exhibit of livestock. This is about half the attendance of peak years. For the first time in the fair's history, women's exhibits were displayed in the com- munity centre, W. G. Riehl, fair board secretary, said lack of accommodation made it im- possible to include exhibitions of women's classes in previous years. The community centre housed displays of arts and crafts, domestic- science, needlework, and sewing. There were more than 200 exhibitors in the livestock sec- tion, an• increase of 60 over last year. „„ Owing to the constant rain, a large crowd collected in the grandstand to view the judging of livestock and horses. The afternoon and eveningprograms ran concurrently without the usual one and a half hour break. The Huron Central Agricul- tural Society plans to apply for an' allowance to compensate for lower gate receipts this year. According to the Agricultural Societies Act, a society is eligible for a grant if rain falls before three o-clock onthe day of the exhibition. The society may receive up to 90 per cent of the difference between this years receipts and the average receipts of the past three years. "We are in the process of investigating the possibility of such a grant," Mr. Riehl said. One highlight of the fair was the crowning of the Huron County Dairy Princess.

(Continuediori edge e), CenservetiVe leader Rebell Stanfield charged .:the present Liberal eoveentnent, with being "the most reckless spender in our history" when he spoke to an overflow crowd at the Wing- bag: Public .Schoel last Thurs- day night. Mr. Stanfield cited :inflation and the failure of the Liberal MAY to bring it undee control as a major issue in the lip, ,coming election. • He said erratic 'managenient of money by the gevernment has caused taxes to be increased "to the limit of Canada's en- durance." • -"The government has levied a backbreaking burden of ta)ca- tion . . . which cuts down con- sumption spending . and increases the demand for higher wages and lower prices." He said. Ottawa has been forced to borrow money from foreign countries to finance ex- penditures "it didn't need to commit." He noted that prices have risen at twice the rate deemed tolerable by the Economic Council of Canada, while the economy grew at half the rate the council thought es- sential. He said the cost of living in Canada is increasingfaster than in the United States despite U.S. inflation caused by Ameri- can involvement in the Viet Nam war. Mr, Stanfield dismissed charges that a feasibility study into the construction of atunnel from Newfoundland to the •main- land would be too costly by saying that it wouldn't cost more than calling the govern- ment together, only to say it was dissolved. Speaking to a largely rural audience, Mr. Stanfield said that farming expenses have risen 45 per cent since 1961, adding that ". . . many small farmers tend to go to the city to live on welfare." "The average income of a farmer in the east is $1,600," he said. "We have no easyanswers Or cure-alls, but we do have a policy. , . We must go to the farmer, not have the farmer come to us on Parliament Hill.," Mr. Stanfield proposed the establishment of farm bureaus in the provinces to work in co-operation with the federal Department of Agriculture. A national committee would be installed to, stabalize markets nn a national basis. is utterly incapable of govern- ing the country, careless about our problems, and contemptu- ous of the democratic process.
