ernoon in Scott Memorial Hos-
pital, (Seaforth, after two weeks
of illness. Mr. Oliver was born
on con. 6, Hibbert tap. near
Staffa, and farmed for most of
his life in Hibbert,s :coming to
live in Seaforth in 1944. He was
an elder of Cromarty Presby-
terian Church for 30 years, and
upon coming to Seaforth he be-
came an elder of First Presby-
terian Church. 'On Jan. 1, 1908,
he was 'married to Jessie B. Hay

vives him. Also surviving are

Shower For
Bride -Elect
A very enjoyable evening was
held at the home of Mrs. Wilmer
Broadfoot, I{ippen, on Tuesday,
Jan. 15th, when a miscellaneous
shower was held for Miss Betty
McLarnon, bride -elect of Satur-
day. The evening was spent
playing bingo, contests and oth-
er games conducted by Mrs.
Geo. Varley and Mrs. John
:Smith. (Readings were given by
Mrs. Chas. Eyre and- Mrs. W.
Broadfoot. The bride was seat-
ed in a 'decorated chair and
Misses Carol Varley and June
!McLachlan carried a well -laden
basket of gifts. Mrs. Arthur
Varley read the address. 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.

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.
