Nott, chairman of the Street Committee of Clinton Town Council, has received the following letter from Hon, George H. Doucett, Ontario Minister of Highways, under date of May 30, 1949: "This will acknowledge your letter of May 10 asking what as- sistance can„be given by the De- partment in resurfacing the main streets of Clinton. Mr. Thomas Pryde, MPP, also has written me in this regard. "Department assistance on the connecting ,links of Highways 4 end 8 would be 100 per cent on the 'central 22 feet, as provided by the. connecting link agreement with the Department. Additional subsidy of 50 per cent on the extra width beyond the 22 feet would also apply, "The Department, at the mom- ent, has no paving contract under way in the immediate area, end it would appear advisable for the Town to carry out the paving themselves with financial assist- ance by the Department, as above noted." The Town Council holds its regular June meeting Monday evening next when the matter is likely to be brought up and fur- ther action decided upon. The way seems wide open now for the town to proceed. The main business section of Albert St. is about 44 feet wide, from curb to curb, while the highways Ieading in and out of town are about 22 to 32 feet wide, CORN PLANTING NOW GENERAL; BEANS TO START Milk production continues high es pastures continue to make good growth, R.

Weather was ideal, chilly enough for a topcoat but just lovely. In fact, it probably was the best livestock show in the hist- ory of Huron County, and one of the best in many years in West- ern Ontario. In fact, it was stated freely by people who should know and who have no local prejudices, that the livestock exhibited was just as good, if not better, than that shown at Canadian National Ex- hibition or Royal Winter Fair, Toronto. Record Entries atEthees big actuallyin nconst constituted rented for these parts, totalling no less than 620, made up of 324 cattle, 234 horses, and 62 swine. Animals numbered 547, compris- ing 300 cattle, 185 horses and 62 swine. Officials estimated the attend- ance during the afternoon and evening at probably more than 5,000. And for that large num- ber of people, facilities, much• improved ever other years, were quite sufficient, There also was plenty of space for parking cars. Official Opening After an introduction by A. J, McMurray, secretary -treasurer, the official opening of the Fair was carried out by J. A. Cerroli, Toronto, superintendent of agri-. cultural societies, in a brief ad- dress over the loudspeaker system, Mr. Carroll stated that fairs were the show windows of One tario agriculture, and that it was fitting that the delegates to the International Federation of Agri- cultural Producers, meeting in Guelph, should see Clinton Spring Fair. Visit of Delegates 100 Theplanned visit more than conference of the International Federation of Agricultural Producers from 41 countries of the world, under the, auspices of the Ontario De- partment of Agriculture and On- tario Federation of Agriculture (including Huron Branch), neve a highlight of the afternoon, The party arrived in huge buses from Stratford shortly before five o'clock, and in their honour, a huge livestock parade was staged. It proved a revelation to out- siders and local people as well. Various addresses of welcome were made and replies given. Editorial Note: Through the exigencies of space and time be- cause of particularly heavy pres- sure on facilities available, this report of Clinton Spring Fair, including prize winners and the proceedings involving the visite ing delegates had to be curtailed.
