Our local Fair Board are to
be congratulated on keeping the
Brussels Agricultural Society
Fall Fair in existence in spite
of discouragements at' times. A
number of Blyth area people are
disturbed by the decision of the "
Blyth Fair directors to discon-
tinue their Fair. The greateSt
problem was said to be the diffi-
culty of getting anyone to act as
president, or even to get enough
help at fairtime; and the apparent
lack of public interest: The
Brussels Society are fortunate
indeed to have so many willing
workers. It is good indeed to see
young men, capable and ready to
shoulder the responsibilities, and
the work, involved in assuming
official duties. Our Ladies Divis-
ion deserve a hearty vote of
appreciation for their continued,
unfailing efforts on behalf of the
fair. It is now up to the general
public of this area to actively
participate, as exhibitors and
spectators to keep our fair alive.
Undoubtedly the Fair officials
will do everything possible to
modernize and improve this long-
time local annual event.

The variable weather we have
been experiencing has played
havoc with snowmobile activities
and other winter sports. With
BruSselS Lions "Polar Daize"
coming up shortly the Organizers
of this annual event are hoping
for colder weather and snow,
which is essential for a nuMber
of planned events. The snow was
almost non-existent here alter
the rain of last Thiirsday and
Friday. Winter sports centres
are operating under diffiCtIltieS
at this time and the financial
success of their season will be
• sharply curtailed.
