In fact, four of the commercial exhibitors have re- served space for the next an- nual fair. We extend a sincere thanks to the Second R.C.R. Regiment, for its able assistance and to Messrs. McCarrol and Veal and to Mr. and Mrs. Bradley of the RCAF Centralia, for their help in assisting Mr. Watson, district supervisor of the Community' Programmes Branch, in the var- ious phases of judging.
