Ms 4: ’Spring Show Time again! Every year it is the same and every year -it is a bit dif­ ferent. And every year one plans to do so many tilings in preparation for the Fair, and again one is left behind with time running,short. Each year we see a .greater interest being shown in the Clinton Spring Fair, For some reason more and more busin- essmen in the immediate area begin to see the advantage1 of _ displaying their wares either at' the fair, or in some sort of float to be used in the parade, We were interested to note at 'the gigantic over-300 item parade in London on Sunday puit on by Ontario\ Lions Clubs, that The floats' that were the 'most fun.1 were put together at very little cost to anyone. For some reason the expensive ones don’t go over quite as well. But a well-conceived, well- thought out float with local materials and a sense of hum­ our gets a chuckle from almost everyone in the crowd, from young to old. It will be like old times again to have Gerry Montgomery .back in town to open the Fair. Gerry is so well known in farm circles in Huron County that it is useless to Try to talk about him to the old residents. Those who are new to Huron, should understand that Gerry ran. the agricultural office way back When the department fig­ ured that he could do it all himself with one girl to help, and. sometimes an assistant in the summer. He did it too. Of. course times have changed and work has.' increased, and the services of the agricultural office have . grown with: the times. But'back ,in the old days, ' Gerry WAS the agricultural of­ fice. We’ll see him over at the fairgrounds on Saturday, along .with the best sheep, the best cattle, and the best, horseflesh that Ontario1 can produce. And we’ll see pets, and Western horse riders, and farm imple­ ments, and 'hot-dogs, and candy­ floss, a merry go round, likely, and a baby contest, and candy apples, caramel crisp, ponies and happy kids. And over the whole thing will be the sound of Tory Gregg at the microphone calling for the next class to be made ready.. The weather will be good — as weekends should be, and we’ll all have a jolly goad time . . . See you there . . . -----------o----------- Volunteers Invited To Ont.
