PRESIDENT',S ADDRESS
James T. Malcolm, of Dublin, who
was president of the Ontario Associa-
tion of Fairs and Exhibitions during
the past year delivered the following
address at•the opening of ;tie conven-
tion of this association in the King

I wish to extend to you my very

turning their attention- to this branch

which predominate and which should

Et is folly to 'leave the revising of

year. Each director Should he on the

have some convehlient place to write

revising committee.. Do ,not rely on

A good plan is to have your secretary

,1\re; as loyal Ontario men and wo-
men, should and have a just reason to
feel proud of Ole success of our native
exhibitors who made such a very
splendid showing at the World's grain
show at Regina, and also at the Inter-
national Hay and 'Grain Show at Chi-
cago. I cannot help but think that
this great achievement is the result of
our township and county fairs, bath
through our exhibitions and the field
crop competitions,
ti am sorry that this venture ha:
been suspended -It not only stimulates
the grain and seed showing at aur
fairs but was also a great community
asset.. It furnished a means of secur-
ing good seed which we all know is a
very scarce commodity m many 'dist-
ricts and without which Ole farmer
cannot expect to receive the best ret-
urn, for his labor, for as the good book
tells us, "That as ye sow, so shall ye
also reel),"
St is my earnest hope that. these
competitions may soon be reinstated
in our programme We should always..
aim to make our exhibits as attractive
as possible especially to the young,
because it is through ,therm we must
ISuild for the future. We should al-
ways endeavor to keep the boys and
girls i'ntereisted as they will be the
men and women o& tomorrow. The
colt, Swaine, calf, potato and grain
clubs have been a great stimulant to
the boys and •gi'rls and have brought
forth cottie real achievements. They
have been able tomakesome out-
standing demonstrations, showing
what can be attained when proper
care is taken, and the best balanced
feeds for stock are used and proper
methods of cultivation for grant and
potatoes:
Toa many of our societies seem eo
thinly that their only purpose is to
stage a fair. This should 'not be the
case, as there are more oppo•.tunu'ties
to assist agriculture than just through
the medium of a fele. There is fhe pare.
bred sire prolj.ect, which I am glad to
see some of our :societies talking ad-
vantage of. It is not only the duty of
a society to improve the.` exhibits.
which slake up our fair front year to
year. The livestock. out in back con-
cessions is something to a•ttract.'our
attention and give our earnest thought
so that the quality oft the rank and file
f oto livestock' may be raised to a
higher standard of excellence and el-
iminate from oar markets as much as
t9assib'le the "common" class of com-
mercial livestock of which there.is al
together too much :going to our mar-
kets today.

:All persons on the ,plaice were dead,

Pilrt Lloyd Anderson, a 32 -year-
old Canadian .liter with 7,0110 hours'
experience, apparently had brushed
the plane against a knoll in seeking
to 'surmount the Wasatch ',fountains,
or the plane had developed mechanic-
al trouble bn the 'murky weather
of Friday. Apparently the group stet
death instantly.
The body of .hiss Mary ,Carter,
the stewardess, was found intact-
Those of the two pilots and 'five
passengers were .mangled, ,and parts
of them were scattered about the
cabin. •Ainderson lived at Cheyenne,'
\'u yo, was married, and had a three-
year-old son. His 'former address in
Canada was not listed,
The smash-up occurred about 20.
miles east of Salt Lake City, Utah;.
shortly before dark. ''It was lying nose.
down on the side of a knoll at the
summit of Parley's Canyon.
The plane appeared to be ,propped
up against a tree, *,ear which it had`
thrust its nose into the ground. The
giant wings were not broken, res-
cuers believed, but the tail was wreck-
ed and hanging down.
The place where -the big low -wing
twin -motor air Liner, one of the lat-
est models of transport planes, met
its fate was at an altitude of about
8,000 feet above sea level, or some
3,600 feet above the :floor of the Salt
Lake valley, 'front 'w'hich it had arisen..
,Persons residing near the foothills
of the Wasatch range had reported
seeing it circle about several times'
'before it disappeared into the canyon,
apparently seeking to gain altitude.
How nearly it had succeeded was
indicated by the fact that it lay with-
in 300 feet of the tap of the knoll
upon which it landed. '
At the time it crashedthe tips of
the Wasatch were hidden by io:c-
hanging clouds, preventing the plane
from following its usual course up
,Parley's ,canyon and through - the
gap in the range.
