Then they entertained their eld­ ers with school drills, songs and races.Other highlights of the* Kirk­ ton show were demonstrations of drill, baton twirling and cheerleading by South Huron District High School students and their cadet band, and the achievement day shows of three 4-H clubs. . Attendance was down this year, as it has been at all local fairs. Friday was a beautiful day but farmers were too busy on the land to enjoy the fair. Agriculture Society officials did­ n’t blame them for not attend­ ing, Fortunately, the loss in gate receipts won’t hurt the Kirkton Society because it has a reserve of over $1,000 in bonds. Conservative politicians mon­ opolized the speechmaking at the opening of the fair. Four Perth and Huron representatives were on hand and all.of them were Tories. They included. Elston Cardiff and Tom Pryde, Huron, and Waldo Monteith and Fred Edwards, Perth. Kirkton Society president, Clayton Smith, welcomed the crowd. Lee Paul, one of Kirkton’s famous vaudeville artists, was master of ceremonies. Kirkton students “stole the show,” in thp words of Inspector G. N. Edwards, who judged the school parade ’and drill, egm- petitions. Costumed in patriotic colors, Kirkton pupils won first prize in the parade and first in the drill. Their teacher is Miss Ruth Watson. 1 Second prize in both parade and drill went to Mount Pleas­ ant school under Mrs. George Levy. Other schools in the parade were No. 2 Usborne (Mrs. Rus­ sell Mills); No. 3 Usborne (Mrs. Wima Harton);/No. 6 Usborne (Mrs. Don Jolly and Mrs. Reg Hodgert); No. 7 Usborne (Mrs. Art Abbott) and No. 12 Usborne (Mrs. McRoberts). Stage entertainers, all win­ ners in juvenile contests at the annual garden party, included Sandra. Walters, Winchelsea; Joyce and’ Dorothy Dickey, Woodham; Stephen Bros., Ander­ son; and the Johns sisters, Cromarty. Major winners of the 4-H shows were Donald Pullen and Terry -Robinson, in the beef club; Keith Stephen and Joyce Crago, in the dairy club; and Barry Stephen, in the tractor club. The competitions were or­ ganized by Bruce McCorquodale, assistant ag rep for Perth. As is usual at Kirkton, there was keen competition in the ladies’ classes, Major winners in baking were Miss Shirley Stoskopf, R.R. 2 Mitchell; Mrs. C. Coiquhoun, Science Hill; Mrs. E. Cowdry, Kirkton; and Mrs. Robert Robinson, Woodham. In the sewing and knitting com­ petitions, the honours went to Mrs. Jack Kemp, Mitchell; Mrs. M.

Here it is I Come in and see it I Engineered with new features farmers have asked for nVfflLf 1 This is the picker that farmers built ZVew 1-row pull-type corn picker from New Idea with greater convenience and safety Farmers actually use more New Idea pickers than any other make because they pick, cleanest, husk cleanest. Proof of cleanest picking. You just can’t afford not to own a New Idea picker. Why? Because the average corn loss of 25 New Idea pickers in 1955 official picking contests was actually 17 % less than the average com loss of 73 competing machines. That’s clean picking that can’t be beat. And the new one-row picker has every feature that insures clean picking. Proof of clean husking. New Idea husking rolls have a unique design. That’s one reason why more state and national picking championships were won in 1955 by New Idea owners than by those of any other make. Why we say these are the “Pickers of the Champions”. Greafer convenience. The new one-row has 30% less grease fittings, partly mads possible by the bank shown above. Other features farmers want are the new spring- loaded lifting mechanism for the snapping unit, easily reached from the tractor seat. And the new ear deflector for more even distribution of corn in the wagon. Greater safety. There's a new positive, conveniently located snapping roll adjust­ ment lever. This, helps relieve plugging, reduces shelling. Gives you easier, safer unplugging of snapping rolls. Another safety feature, the PTO shaft is now per­ manently shielded.
