Wade Plans have been completed for the continuation of Howick Agri- cultural Fair Sept, 30, Oct 1, ,at Fordwich. This fair is 'unique in that it eilternates between Fordwich and Gorrie. Perhaps there is no other fair so situated. The fair was first held at: Ford- wich in 1859 and leas carried on continuously ever since. The first officers; President, W, O. Walker; secretary, George Dane; treasurer, William Strong; directors, Fairly Milne, Henry Newton, William Johnston, John Sothern, John Has- sard, James Wiggins, William New- ton, George Greer, Robert Mc- Laughlin and Thomas Gibson. Howick Township held its cen- tennial in 1956 which was dated from the forming of the first council. One can see that the pioneers were not long after In organizing an Agricultural Society. The 100th fair was held at Gorrie at which time memorial gates were erected, Any fair reaching its centennial, .is given a grant of $1,000 from the Ontario Depart- ment of Agriculture to assist in building these gates. Howiclr Fair, held at the two places, necessitated the building of two sets of gates. The fair being held this year in Fordwich is completing the cen- tennial by erecting gates and there are other special attractions. W. J, Hunter, president, Ontario Associations of Agricultural So- cieties and James Mair, 2nd vice president, will officially open the fair. The ministers of Howick Town- ship will be in charge of the dedi- cation of the centennial gates. Turnberry Township, not having a fair, joined Howick Society in 1953 which has strengthened the society, especially in public school exhibits, 4-H club work, field crop competitions and other enterprises, Howick Township was not far behind other communities in or- ganizing an agricultural fair when you consider such larger ones as Toronto in 1852; Hamilton 1853; London 1854. It shos how pro- gressive were the ' `pioneer's of Howick. If we look hack on the history of the fair, first known as (Howick Branch Agricultural Society), we see the excellent work done down through the years by the various directors and officers, which has contribtited much to the develop- ment of Howick agriculture and the Province of Ontario as a whole. It has grown from a small unpre- tentious affair to become one of the foremost class "C" fairs. 'During the years changes have been made in the prize list in keep- ing with the times and that are more practical for the farmer. Growing of better livestock, field crops., school fair work and 4-H clubs have been encouraged. To carry on for a century must show that it'has rendered a service which has been appreciated by the com- munity at large, No fair can be carried on successfully without members, exhibitors, merchants, the press and visitors on fair day. Let us enquire, what is the ob- ject of these fairs? It is certainly, to gather as large a variety of the best products of the community or province as possible, in order that they may he compared with each Western Fair.

The fair thus becomes an educational institute. It migli be well if we today, paused for a moment and ac- knewledged the debt we owe to the pioneers of Howick Township. Consider the almost insurmountable difficulties they faced, such as the famine of 1958-9 the years in Which the fair was started. The spring of 1958 arrived "very late, and wet. In the latter part of July a killing frost froze everything, It was widespread throughout most of the North American continent. M'iny were without food and seed for their next spring crop, Let us of the futulie carry on and try to emulate those of the past. It is said that "Progress belongs to those who look forward".
