Zurich Fair bigger and better, best in exhibits, attendance According to all reports, this years’ version of the Zurich fair was bigger and better than last year’s where attendance had doubled from the previous year. President of the Zurich Agricultural Society, Vince Doyle said this year’s fair was best ever in terms of attendance and the number of exhibits. The fair was blessed with warm moisture-free weather although things were on the hot side Friday evening and Saturday afternoon. Between three and four hundred people lined the streets Saturday for a parade that had around 25 floats and numerous horse and bike entries. Heading the parade off was the Dashwood-Seaforth marching band which provided a sound footing for BE CAREFUL — Gib Dow is careful as he catches an egg dur­ ing a recreation period at Boom's Camp held recently at Pine Lake. the remainder of the parade. Queen of this year’s fair Rosemary Duttmann along with the first and second runnerups, Theresa Ferris and Jeannette De Vries were part of the parade. The fair was officially opened by reeve. Fred Haberer of Zurich who represented Huron Warden Gerry Ginn. Also in the of­ ficial party were MP Bob McKinley, MPP Jack Riddell, Hay reeve Jack Tinney, Agricultural society president and this year’s queen. Fairgoers had a number of events to occupy themselves with, such as the micro-mini tractor pull, 4-H judging competition, the arm wrestling contest in the Lions den and the horse judging competition.

A total of 22 entries for the baby contest gave judges Mrs. Winston Shapton and Mrs. Jack McDermott a difficult time in picking out the top three babies in each division. The top three babies in for the under six months category were Jessica Brown, Bobbi-Lynn Snell and Carrie Cleave. In the six to twelve month category, Kent Bierling, Charlene Manson and Alan Jeffrey were the top children. For young tots up to eighteen months of age, Dwight Gingerich, Kristen Schenck and Andy Land- sbergen were the top young people.

Mr. Martin, of the Ethel area, is chairman of the IPM demonstrations com­ mittee, and the annual plow­ ing match, which is ex­ pected to attract about 250,- 000 to the Wingham area, has never had a demonstrations committee before. The committee has about 205 acres of land in the prox­ imity of the tented city, for farm equipment companies and dealers to demonstrate how their machinery works. There will be about 90 acres of grain corn which may or may not be ready for com­ bining during the match, which will be held Sept. 26 to 30, and there will be grain stubble to till, and there may be some corn silage to harvest. Hurqn County IPM com­ mittee members have met with'the 1976 IPM com­ mittees from Bruce County and with the 1977 IPM Frontenac County com­ mittees, to get advice on planning this year’s match, but when the counties met, Mr. Martin couldn’t get much advice. “There just doesn’t seem to be anyone to talk to at the meetings between the coun­ ties,” he said. To date, Ed Starr, secretary-manager of the OPA, has been contacting farm implement companies to get them interested in the demonstrations at the march, and the local com­ mittee has been setting aside five to 10 acres of land- for each. Mr. Martin said machinery companies have been less than eager to par- ticipate in the demonstrations. “I guess they are afraid it may turn into a com- previous two days warm weather. In a close contest with six other attractive young ladies, Rosemary Duttmann of Hensall was chosen as Zurich’s fair queen for 1978, Judging took place at the arena hall midway through the talent show. Last year’s queen Mary Jane McGregor placed the crown on Rosemary’s head. She was sponsored by the Towne and Country dinner. Theresa Ferris sponsored by Sylvia’s Beauty Shop of Hensall was first runnerup while Jeannette De Vries sponsored by the Zurich Citizens News was second runnerup. The other contestants and their sponsors were Rosemary Meidinger, Shaws dairy, Shelly Tinney, Laporte meat market. Lori Lovell, Hensall CO-OP and Joane McBride. Contestants were judged by former Detroit Red Wings and Toronto Maple Leaf hockey player Larry Jeffrey, Betty and Ron Harris of J. and H. Sales petition,” he said. The demonstrations, he noted, are simply to give plowing match visitors a chance to see the various types of machinery in action. Even the OPA was a little wary about trying the demonstrations, Mr. Martin said, because much of the revenue brought in by the five-day plowing match is the rental of space in the 87- acre tented city. OPA of­ ficials didn’t want the demonstrations to let ex­ hibitors thinks they could be a part of the match free of charge. Because some machinery companies are still hesitant to be a part of the demonstrations, though the demonstration lots are given to exhibitors free, the local committee still isn’t sure what the companies will be displaying, or even which companies are par­ ticipating. Some large com­ panies like John Deere, White, McKee Bros., George White and Same will be represented, Mr. Martin said. Because of the limited space, it is unlikely the demonstrations will be con­ tinuous, he said, and will probably be only at set times. The demonstrations will likely be held late in the morning or in early after­ noon, Mr. Martin said, so some tractors and wagons which are used to take peo­ ple between the" tented city and their cars, can be spared to give rides to and from demonstrations. The demonstrations com­ mittee was formed after the Huron County Soil and Crop Improvement Association was approached to help out with the new feature of the plowing match, Mr. Martin said. He was vice-president of the association at the time and headed a com­ mittee to investigate how the group could help with the match. The soil and crop com­ mittee was then named one of the 23 IPM local com­ mittees.

Skilled trades to start in grade nine “Training for skilled trades should begin in Grade 9 and should be planned with direct input from industry,” says the Honourable Harry C. Parrott, DDS, Minister of Colleges and Universities. Closer co-operation bet­ ween schools and industry is one of the Minister’s goals following his attendance at a Paris meeting about vocational education and training held by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Dr. Parrott, as vice- chairman of the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada, headed the Canadian delegation to the meeting from July 4-6. “Industry must define precisely the skills it needs and educators must ensure these skills are included in secondary and post­ secondary training the Windsor Light Opera Company.

At the Paris meeting, 26 member countries of OECD tabled papers describing their vocational training practices. “These papers are an invaluable record of in­ dustrial training experience in other countries,” Dr Parrott said. “ We will pay particular attention to the German and Austrian systems where the linkage between industry and the secondary schools is much tighter.” The papers will be tabled by Dr. Parrott at the next meeting of the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada. “They reveal striking similarities between the social, economic and jurisdictional difficulties faced by Canada and those faced by other OECD member countries,” Dr Parrott said.
