Mr 'Churchill warned, has been concentrating self-propelled ;5- the two fairs mentioned above. The directors decided to carry on and for that decision they received much praise. * These fairs are now over and they were a decided success, and those in charge must be congratulted for their efforts. It is not an easy matter to plan and arrange for such fairs. It is necessary to have the co-operation of those in the district to ensure suc cess of such an undertaking and this was forthcoming, The officers, tea chers, pupils and the parents can be justly proud of the splendid school fairs held at Gorrie and Belgrave. BELGRAVE FAIR WAS GREAT SUCCESS Weather Cleared At Noon After Morning of Rain — Large Crowd * Attended Fair Entry List Was Wtill Filled The annual School Fair was held in Belgrave on Thursday and proved to be very successful. The morning hours were taken up with getting the exhibits in place, the vegetables, grain, fruit, farm mechanics, poultry, being displayed in the Presbyterian shed; the sewing, baking, school dis- ‘play of projects, writing, flowers, es says and art being shown in the For esters’ Hall and the live stock in the United Church shed, Early in the af ternoon the parade of all schools was held, each school displaying its own banner. The parade was lead by Mr, Kinkead, Public School Inspector and J. S. Procter, President of the School Fair, Mr. McKercher and Mr. E. Far- rish, judges, and the music far tlie parade was furnished by members of the Wingham Band. After marching through the streets the schools all assembled in front of the United Church where the opening program took place. Mr. Procter, the president, welconied all to the Fair and the activities of the day and even- [ ing. He said that six of the Huron County School Fairs of the eight held last year had decided to carry on this year even though the Government had decided to withdraw their assistance in grants for the duration of the war. Owing to the Exeter Fall Fair also being held the same day, Mr. J. C. Shearer, Agricultural Representative, of Huron, was unable to be present, but had asked Mr. Robt. McKercher to represent him, and he was asked to speak at this time. He congratulated [the officers for carrying worthwhile work* even without the help of the Govt. He said the qual ity of the exhibits was higher than [last year although the number of ent ries was possibly lower than last. Raymond Redmond, Reeve of East Wawanosh, was the next speaker who also congratulated the Fair and prom ised his interest and support in this work.
