The bride received many lovely and useful gifts and thanked the ladies in a few well chosen words. A. delicious lunch was served by the hostess. NAMES BORROWED Public officials are from time to time called upon to perform services over and above the call of duty. We wonder if Seaforth's Mayor and Reeve are awareof such a public service they, or at least their names are perform- ing. Jt is reported that in a lo- cal industrial plant there are two new :Canadians whose names are not readily pronouncealble by their fellow: employees. So one man now answers to the name of "McMaster" and the other to "!Scorns". Says Fairs Must Go Forward E. D. McGugan, general man- ager of Western Fair, London, gave a forceful address on basic ideas to improve and develop fails. We are now living in one world, he said, and not isolated communities. It is a time of great concern about the future of fairs, in a changing world. Competitive classes need mod ernizing -and glamorizing to ed- ucate urban and rural people. You can educate the city person by putting a cow in a stall and saying, "This is a cow", Mr, McGugan was addressing annual meeting of the Seaforth Agricultural. Society. He believed livestock exhibits should -be taken out of the hob- by class and linked with perfor- mance. Show ring winnings and performance must be tied in, as in other things like grain, fruits, etc which are constantly chang- ing to meet production needs. Crossbred and hybrid poultry have taken their place commer- cially on proven records, machin- ery and appliances are sold on performance. Yet stress on per- formance is pathetically small in livestock classes at fairs. New strains are constantly being de- veloped and should be rewarded in the prize ming. Our fairs are only hobby shows in too many classes, The breed associations are missing a bet in not following the modern trend, Too many -competitions are hackneyed, same thing year aft- er year. To Strengthen the shows and benefit yourself -and the industry, exhibits must +be bolstered by telling a story on the wonders of agriculture. Mr. McGugan gave examples of showmanship, by using an electric razor while he talked, and intrigued the audience with well known TV advertising. There are a million ways (better showmanship could be used for agricultural exhibits, and com- plimented the lovely appearance of the 4-39 Club sweaters at the fairs. He told how TV had made en- tertainment at fairs a problems with an inflated sense of values among entertainers. He had heard recently that Perry 'Como had defused some engagement unless given title to an 'Okla- homa oil well. This sort of thing affects the smallest .market for entertainment. The TV screen has paralyzed a section Of every -community, affecting sport and everything. Emphasis is being made on junior work, and he asked how many local directors were under his own age,+31.'There are some wonderfully capable young .peo- :ple and it is good to bring in young blood, he said. The Am- ericans are ahead of us in jun- ior work, although' Huron is one .of the finest counties for young peoples activities. He believed junior chubs could be broadened in scope to include many more things, as science, art, nature study, hobby and manual train- ing clubs. A change could be made in judging. A judge is known as the fellow with the last guess. There' are not enough oral reas- ons given for judges' decisions. Highlights could 'be 'discussed over• the public address systems. Thought is being given to the group system of judging.. The days of the small fair are numbered, Mr. McGugan believ- ed, although he was not against the small fair if they can per- form a service and do a job. The fairs- should close their ranks, and by working co-opera- tively, could make one worth- while fair in a county. Vertical integration is a mod- ern phrase, of 'heavy industry which means taking complete control by expanding a group or organization, of a product from the. ground right up through to marketing. This should be hap- pening in the fair business. In closing Mr. McGugan said it is our jab and: our duty to give the public something worth seeing. HIGH SCHOOL NEWS The formal is drawing near, Friday is the big night. The de- corating committees have been up to their necks in work this week, and the results show that time was not wasted. The theme "Latin., America" includes the Mexican ;bullfighter, and the ;beautiful Mexican Senoritas.

Seaforth greetings to the group from the Kirk Session, gave a very fine and interesting talk on John Geddie, an early Presbyterian Missionary, sent to a foreign field to work among the heathen by a small church in Nova Sco- tia. It was in 'the year 1845 that John Geddie, with his wife and family set sail for an island in the New !Hebrides. The natives were Oriental Negroes, canni- bals and continually at war with one another. They did not trust the white man because of deal- ings they had had with white traders who came to their island. After years of hard work and of surmounting anany difficulties this devoted man and his wife. had christianized many of the natives, had learned and print- ed for the first time the native language, started schools and built churches. Before he died he translated the Bible into the native language. He died in 1872 after many years of faith- ful service and this inscription is in a church on the island where he worked, "When he landed in 1848 there were no Christians—when he left in 1872 there were no heathen." Mr. Campbell was thanked by Mrs. Patterson. • BARBARA KIRKMAN The January aneeting of the !Barbara 'Kirkanan Auxiliary was held Tuesday evening, Jan. 22, with President, Mrs. W. 0.
