week later than usual.
Karla King new
Queen of the Fair
The Brussels Fall Fair Queen for
1987 is a vivacious blonde 17-year-
old who is involved in so many
activities and sports that it is a
wonder she can fit it all into her life
as a Grade 13 student at F.E.
Madill Secondary School in Wing
ham.
Karla King of Brussels was
crowned the 1987 Fair Queen at the
Brussels, Morris and Grey Com
munity Centre on Saturday night,
by the Fair’s 1986 Queen, Linda
Ten Pas. “I’m very pleased and
very excited about it, and I’m really
looking forward to the coming
year,’’ Miss King said.
She was one of four participants
in the contest, which saw Heather
McIntosh of RR 5, Brussels,
receive the unusual honour of
being chosen both as Fair Queen
runner-up and Miss Congeniality.
Theothergirls taking part were
Cindy McNeil of Brussels and
Jennifer Miners of RR 2, Bluevale.
Miss McIntosh will also be compet-
ing in the Huron County Dairy
Princess competition, which takes
place on October 4.
Miss King is well known in the
area for her prowess in public
speaking competitions, and also as
one of the lifeguard/swimming
instructors at the Brussels, Morris
and Grey Community Pool over the
past two summers. She has been
involved in public speaking compe
titions since she was in Grade 5 at
Brussels Public School, entering
both the school contest sponsored
by the Royal Canadian Legion and
other competitions sponsored by
the Lions Clubs.
She has been successful in
virtually every public speaking
competition she has entered since
the age often, and has advanced as
far as the provincial finals in the
Legion Public Speaking contest in
Kingston last Spring, and into the
regional finals in the Lions’ annual
contest.
As well, Miss King is an
accomplished musician in piano,
clarinet and voice, coached by her
mother, Joanne King, and by other
local music teachers over the
years. She has her Grade 2 hr Piano
Theory, and is working on her
Grade 10 level in Piano, as well as
being an active competitor at local
singing competitions. She also
plays the clarinet in her school
band, and has been a member of
both the Junior and Senior F.E.
Madill School Bands for the past
several years.
She has been a member of the
F.E. Madill Drama Club as well,
and is involved in a number of
school sports, especially in volley
ball and in track and field, where
she has advanced to both Huron-
Perth and WOSSA competitions
over the past season. Miss King is
an active member of the Brussels
Figure Skating Club, is now
working on her Gold Dance
badges, and has competed at many
inter-club skating competitions
overtheyears, as well as attending
skating schools in several different
locations.
Her first official duty as Fair
Queen will be to reign over the
126th annual Brussels Fall Fair
September 22-23, but just prior to
that, she will compete in the Miss
Mid-Western Ontario Fair Queen
contest, to be held September 17 in
conjunction with the Lucknow Fall
Fair.
Threshers make improvements
Every year since 1962 there have
been changes and improveifients
to the Huron Pioneer Thresher
Reunion. This.year there have
been some very big changes
although for the public attending
the annual event it may not be
noticeable.
The village of Blyth, using a
large donation from the Huron
Pioneer Hobby and Thresher
Association, purchased five acres
to add to the Blyth fairgrounds
earlier this year. Much of the land,
tothewestofthe main grounds,
had already been used in the last
few vears for camping space and
parking.
With the purchase of the land,
however, the Thresher Association
was able to go to work making
improvements which will help the
working of the annual three-day
Reunion. The old fence-bottom
between the old and new portions
of the park has been removed.
Land at the north end of the new
portion has been levelled off to be
more practical.
Another pratical improvement
in the operation of the Reunion this
year has been the building of a
loading ramp at the south-west
part of the grounds

Book circulation picking up
BY CHRIS LAWS
It was reported last Thursday at
Huron County Council that library
book circulation was down by
10,648 books for the first six
months of this year. Tuckersmith
Reeve Bob Bell questioned Assis
tant Librarian Sharon Cox as to why
the book circulation had declined
so much.
Ms. Cox responded by saying
that since the freeze on book
purchasing has been lifted, it takes
a while for new books to start
coming from where they are
ordered. She added that new books
have started to come in again and
thatcirculationforthe month of
June was only down by 247 books
indicating that the trend is now
reversing itself. Warden Brian
McBurney stated that the nice
weather we have been having all
year also has something to do with
it.
Council did not support the
Owen Sound Public Library’s
stance supporting the Ministry of
Citizenship and Culture’s Public
Library Act of 1984, with regards to
making all library materials free.
The Assistant Librarian stated to
council that this could be quite
costly, especially in the area of
films.
It was also announced to council
that applications have been receiv
ed, and are being reviewed for the
position of County Chief Librarian.
Of the 16 applicants only one
withdrew their application. Six of
the remaining 15 applicants will be
interviewed again for the position.
During a council review of the
meeting of the Committee for the
Management of Huronview, War
den McBurney was about to ask
council all those in favour of having
Huronview continue their financial
transactions with the Bank of
Montreal when Hay Township
reeve Lionel Wilder rose his hand
quicklytoaskaquestion. Reeve
Wilder asked committee chair
man, Exeter Deputy-reeve Lossy
Fuller, if they had investigated any
other banks. He added that Hay
Township had received a much
better deal at another financial
institution.
After deputy reeve Fuller told
council that no other banks or
financial institutions had been
investigated, Warden McBurney
took the vote on the issue. The
motion was defeated.
