the interest and response of the
public to their exhibits., Proof, of
this is the fact that about taee-
quarters of the exhibitors signed
up for space at the next fair before
this one was completed,
The 'Carling Breweries Limited
provided a 615,00 door prize each
evening and the Kinsmen sold
tickets on a doll dressed in fifty,
one-dollar bills, which was drawn
for on Saturday evening and won
by Lee Vance of Wingharn. Sev-
eral of the exhibitors had free draW
tickets available throughout 'the
fair on items of merchandise dis-
played in 'their booths, These in-
cluded Vance's Drug Store, R A
Currie gs, Sons, Percy Clark, The
Wingham Advance-Times, Wing-
ham Sportsmen's Association, Mc-' -
gibbons Drug Store and Unite'd
Co-operatives of Ontario.
The Kinsmen are not yet able to
report on the actual net figure in,
their financial returns, but it lE
known that the Trade Fair Will
show a profit, which is actually
more than the club 'had anticipated
Considerable Investment was made
in framing materials for the booths
which, of eourse, will be available
for 'future use, Certainly the en-
tire event proved remarkably suc-
cessful and will have far-reaching
benefits for the town as well as
the Kinsmen,

tee largely Made 14p of municipali-
ties which are, now enjoying favor-
able rates and Would therefote be
opposed to a redistribution of costs
which might affect them adversely.
He also objected, to the formation
of 'a committee which did not in-
clude himself and Mr, Tornlin,son
of Port Elgin, elitiming that it was
the wish of the convention, held
a few weeks ago, that both ;should
be named to the, costing commit-
tee,
One. resolution which passed the
committee would reduce, the cost
of low tension transmission to the
town of Wingham from 7.78 kilo-
watt to 5.5. The reduction, how-
ever, Will not take effect until it
has been approved 'by the Hydro
