The C.N.E. has to be the greatest show of its kind anywhere. It is a part of our Canadian heritage of which all Canadians can be proud. The Scottish World Festival, which is the main C.N.E. grands- tand attraction, seems to be as popular as ever. It has gained the deserved reputation of being the largest Scottish Band Festival in The Canadian National Exhibi- tion again drew record crowds for the last two weeks of August and the first week of September, The President, Julian Porter, Q.C., his Executive and the new General Manager of the C,N.E., William Mallatratt, deserve great credit for the 1976 show. To bring together such great grandstand entertainment, so the world, drawing Pipe and Drum Bands literally from all over the world, This year the Royal Marine Band of Her Ma- jesty's Navy performed putside the U.K. for the first time in its long and colorful history. Over 200 strong, with their beautiful naval uniforms and exact preci- sion marching and manoeuvres, they were a thrilling sight and sound to behold. It is no wonder the grandstand is sold out for every one of the 4 nights that the Scottish festival is on. One doesn't have to have a Scottish name or be of Scottish descent to enjoy the bagpipes.

Miss Betty Jenkins, of Elgin County, was the winner and becomes the Ontario Dairy Princess for 1976-77. A teacher of French at the Innerkip elemen- tary school in Oxford County, she made an excellent and infor- mative prepared speech and did an excellent job as an impromp- tu speaker as well. The Dairy Princesses from Renfrew, Ox- ford, Dufferin and York were the other four girls in the finals, held at 6 p.m. on September 3rd. All of them did exceptionally well — they had to in order to reach the finals, The judges, Mrs. Peggy Knapp, of Cambridge, Mr. Bob Carbert, of Toronto, and Mr. Jack Higgins, of Eastern On- tario, really must have had dif- ficulty in choosing a winner in each of the daily competitions and then in trying to decide the over-all winner as Ontario's new Dairy Princess. Like the Sweetheart' of the Fairs Competition, the Ontario Dairy Princess Competition focuses attention on the great young people with which this Province, and this country, is so fortunately blessed. It is really thrilling to see and meet such fine young ladies — they are typical of many of today's modern rural youth. The future of our country will be in good hands as time goes on, if they get encouragement to maintain their interest in life around them and in other people. that today's young people may very well develop hearing problems never experienced by a previous generation. If they do, it may well be because electric amplifiers are turned up so loud that it is intended to distract the listener from realizing the so- called music is just a lot of noise. No wonder, Lawrence Welk is one of the great attractions at the C.N.E. evening grandstand shows — 2 nights, 21/2 hours long, of beautiful entertainment. For those who admire modern entertainment, the "Beach Boys" attracted sell-out crowds both nights they were in front of the Grandstand. The C.N.E. management has succeeded in providing entertainment to meet everyone's tastes. The Agriculture Day luncheon was well attended with farmers from all over Ontario, agri- business men and women, federal and provincial agricultural civil servants and many young' farm people in bandsmen all get together on a field as large as the C.N.E. Stadium it gives them a great op- portunity to perform magnificently. This year the Toronto Scottish Country Dancers' Club, with over 150 members on the field with the bands, provided an interesting and lively demonstration of graceful Highland Country dan- cing. This is the fourth successive year for the Scottish Festival, and my guess is that the C.N.E. will continue to have it because it has been and is so extremely popular. It is always held the first 4 nights of the C.N.E. Because it draws tourists from literally everywhere, as well as hundreds of participants, over- night accommodations are usual- ly scarce in Toronto during those first 4 nights of the Ex. Bob Hope, the greatest of the great comedians, at 73 still draws enormous crowds to the evening grandstand show. He has a way of making people enjoy themselves — and this year was attendance. The Hon. William no exception. He had everyone in Newman, Ontario Minister of stitches for 45 minutes and left Agriculture and Food, was guest them wanting more. speaker. He reminded his Lawrence Welk and his over 50 audience that the C.N.E. got its entertainers drew a capacity beginnings as an Agricultural crowd as well. He and his band Fair, and that continuing were a welcome relief from emphasis should be retained in some of today's noise makers the agricultural sector.

Surely a young band strong agricultural economy in would become popular today if Ontario — expressing sound they concentrated on sweet, reasons for his opposition to a relaxing, gentle music — of the zoning freeze on all Ontario farm style of Guy Lombardo, land.

Houses, records are still as popular as and industries to employ people ever. It is easy for one to believe and provide services, have to be built on land, but areas .of less productive land should be en- couraged for development. That is what the Ontario Government is trying to do, but he believes strongly in local mtinicipal con- trols over land use planning. Seemed like a reasonable posi- tion to adopt and a hard one to deny by those who have been critical of Government taking authority away from the local municipalities. Mr. Newman pointed to the enormous surpluses of beef, dairy products, possibly corn surpluses, a 20,000 ton grape sur- plus in the Niagara area — the second year in a row. He stress- ed the importance of using On- tario produced products — beef, wines, peaches, tomato products, to name a few. He end- ed his speech by stating an in- disputable fact, that, if the price is right, and the weather is right, there will be ample food produc- tion maintained,in Ontario which now produces nearly one-third of Canada's total agricultural w eTahl e t h "Sweetheart of the Fairs" Competition has become another glamorous attraction of the C.N.E. Any local Fair in Ontario can enter the competition by choosing their own Fair Queen who is then eligible to become Miss C.N,E. This year Miss Carolyn Adams, who was Ilder- ton Fair Queen for 1975-76, was chosen from among all the reign- ing Fair Queens of Ontario as Miss C.N.E. She is a most ap- propriate choice, carrying out all her official duties with charm and dignity. She is an attractive daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Adams, of Denfield, RR 4, and like her sister before her and brothers, has been very active in 4-H and Junior Farmer ac- tivities, Carolyn told me she was having a grand time at the C.N.E., which I could readily un- derstand, She will be a fine am- bassador of fall fairs, and our local community, as she travels across Ontario, and indeed Canada, as Miss C.N.E.
