INFLUENCE LASTING The following appeared in the edi- torial page of the St. Thomas Times - Journal in reference to a lady known to many here. Mrs. Duns, more was the eldest daughter of the late W. J. Paisley, sister of Councillor 0. L. Paisley of Clinton: "In the death this week of Mrs. R. J. Dunmore, a number of the wo- men's organizations of the city have suffered a loss that will be keenly felt, not only in the passing of a beloved member but also in the pas. sing of one whose untiring, under- standing and efficient service and leadership will be greatly missed. In nearly forty years of residence in St. Thomas, Mrs. Dunsntore played no small part in women's activities in the city, being particularly interest- ed in those dealing with various phases of public welfare. For many years she. was a leader in I.O.DJ8I work, having been regent .of both the Regimental. and St. Thomas Chapters; the work of the• Children's Aid Society called forth many years of service both as a member and as president of the•.Auxiliary; the Lad- ies' Benevolent and Temperance So, ciety had her active interest; also the Ladies' Aid of her church; and she was a prominent member of the Local Connell of Women in . which she held the office .of honorary vice." president at the time of lien death— wide and varied interests, combining patriotid philanthropic and public welfare • service, The influence of such a citizen lives long after she herself has•ceased to: participate and it will be .ever -green memorial.

M. Guardhouse of Weston. Thursday last was the date of the Annual Spring Show day, put en b Huron Central Agricultural Society andeweather conditions were ideal and the show one of the best ever held. The number attending the show was larger than for some years and the number and quality of stock shown was equal and in some classes ahead of former years. In cattle the number shown increased from 21 shown in 1931 to 54, and while the number of horses remained about the same, the quality, if anything, was higher than last year. The exhibitors are not confined to Huron County alone and a consider- able number of horses and cattle y were exhibited by breeders from , neighbouring counties. Entries from a distance included those of A. B. Chalmers of London in Heavy Hor•, ses, O'Neil Bros., Denfield in Here- fords, and A. B. Weber of Kitchener in Light Horses. A number of prominent breeders: and live stock men were in atten-• clani;e, and among these might be mentioned R. W. Wade, Director, and L. E. O'Neil of the Ontario Live• gtock Branch, Duncan Brawn form- erly with the Dominion Live Stock Branch, Duff Brien, Ridgetown, President of Dominion Shorthorn Breeders' Association, and Ernest Robson of Denfield, breeder of Short- horn cattle and Lincoln sheep. The Fair was a success from every standpoint and we might quote Mr - Guardhouse who said: "Undoubtedly the best Spring Show at which it has ever been my privilege to judge in Western Ontario." Clinton may well be proud of her Spring Show. The light horses were judged by Dr. Fowler, Guelph; heavy horse. by Mr. J. 114. Guardhouse, Weston; the cattle by Colonel Robert McEwen, London. The president, Mr. W. 11rcEwen, Secretary G. H. Elliott and Mr. Ian MacLeod, Agricultural Representa- tive, who is also treasurer of the So- ciety, and at whose office a great deal of work of the society is done, had a very busy few days but the culmination was so satisfaetney that all were well pleased. And, indeed. everyone one ntet seemed enthusiastic over the results of this year's effort, Amongst those who never miss a visit to Clinton Spring Show war Mr. John McNaughton of London. who motored up with a number ,of Merida Mr. McNeugltton always meets a number of old friends and neighbors at the For and this year he brought .up some city friends to ,hew then" what a good lot of farnk stock looked like.
