Agent for Elma Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Company R.R. 3 Brussels, 887-6476 Has Close to 200 people were in attendance at the annual meeting of district eight of the Ontario Association of Agriculture Societies held Friday at the Pineridge Chalet near Hensall. It'was the largest crowd on record. The meeting featured several local dignitaries, at the head table with many giving a brief address. Fred Haberer, reeve of Zurich, commented on the changing audience in recent years which fall fairs have had to adapt to and the hard work of the local societies that have enabled fairs to keep pace with' the times. "In these days when organiza- tions are struggling for survivial, credit is due to the local boards for creating fairs that are attractive to the public," Mr. Haberer stated. Grant Stirling, deputy reeve for Goderich Township representing the Warden of Huron County told the audience that Huron County contributes $3,000 a year for fairs and close to $9,000 a year on the agriculture sector of the economy. "Fairs have been instru- mental in keeping communities thriving", according to Don Pullen, agricultural representa- tive for Huron County. Pullen paid tribute to the organizational ability of the agricultural societies, especially the fall fairs. with the wet weather playing havoc with attendance. Art Peppen, Associations director of the Agriculture and Horticultural branch of the' Ministry of Agriculture and Food said that his offices were attempting to secure extra monies from the government for a fund which aids fall fairs if severe weather conditions should befall them. Peppen said that', the fund, which contains $12,000 is usually adequate but has been almost depleted. A fall fair which applies for assistance can receive a maximum of $1,000. The deputy minister of agriculture has been asked that more money be transferred to the fund, Peppen said. "Fairs are a wonderful thing, especially for the young people," Huron-Middlesex MP Bob 41111/10.41hi J.E.

McKinley cited the 4-H clubs as an example where the energies of youth can be transformed in a constructive way so that all people can appreciate them. Reeve Jack Tinney of Hay township said that "fall fairs have continued a long time because of their dedicated workers." "Hardworking people bring about fairs ...there would be a void in the community without fairs", was the message to the audience from Mrs, William Schaefer of Kirkton, director, of the ladies, executive` of the association. Mrs Schaefer said that although the audiences may have changed, people still cone to fall fairs primarily because of the displays. F tl b tl a fi
