SEAFORTH FAIR EXTENDED TO THREE DAYS At a special meeting of directors and committee conveners of Seaforth Agricultural Society Tuesday even- ing, the meeting' decided to extend its annual fall fair one day, the final day to feature horse racing and any other events the fair committee sees fit. It is being considered to hold all light horse and pony events ,also on the final day. The Seaforth fall fair, this year celebrating its 109th anniversary, is the oldest fair in Huron county, and is fast becoming a junior fair. "They are taking it out of our hands," members agreed, "and they should be given every opportunity." Menvbers also agreed that by hold- ing racing events on a special day of their own, the school, children's par- ade, breed shows, junior club compe- titions and the special feature of the fair, the Perth -Huron 4-'H calf club championship show, could be given the prominence they merit. Plans were brought forward to judge most livestock events on the track, in plain view of all spectators, if poss- ible. It is expected that entries this year in the 4-43 championship show will reach 75, This class is judged to be the largest of its kind in Ontario and for the past few years entries competing in this show have been winners of the Queen's Guineas at the C.N.E. Plans are to hold over all round- house exhibits and all commercial exhibits in the arena for the final day of the fair, Sept. 25. Special indoor programs are being planned for the first two nights, Sept. 23 and 24, with a dance to be held in the auditorium the final night. Ross Savauge and Keith Sharp of the Chamber of Commerce, present at the meeting, told of their plans in regard to the merchants' exhibits. They expressed the opinion that the merchants would appreciate leaving their exhibits in place an additional day. Stores, they agreed, will likely follow the usual closing on the after- noon of the second day of the fair, but remain open on the third day. Additional features in the indoor exhibits this year will be an art dis- play and night school class display. A hobby fair exhibit is also being talked up. Parking space will, as usual, be a problem, but members feel that if most of the livestock judging is done on the track, judging rings in the inner oval can be eliminated, leaving room for farm machinery exhibits and parking. 85TH BIRTHDAY OF • MR.

CANADA'S BEST Holiday time is here again For boys and girls, women and men, 'Coming and going here and there, Searching for pleasure and fresh air, • Fresh air and pleasure not enough, We must have lots of good foodstuff; The little folks are never full, Especially when they're out of school. We travel by car, bus and train, Those in a hurry go by plane; We're restless folk there is no doubt, Year after year we find this out. Some go down to the sea in ships Bring back tall tales about their trips, Tell us we ought to go and see, That is by far too far for me. With mountain, plain, forest and stream, All these fulfill the tourist's dream: Otir mines and mills and fertile soil, Today we find we're rich in oil. Fishermen come, their ladies too, Charter a gay streamlined canoe, Cast out their lure, reel in a strike, Lucky boy, it's a northern pike. Beauty too, I almost forgot, Best on earth believe it .or not; Go to the north, south, east or west, Your land, my land, Canada's 'best. -John Beattie KLOPP-McCLINCHEY IA. pretty summer wedding was sol- emnized in St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Zurich, when Donna Joyce Amelia, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Orval MVlcClinchey, Varna, was united in marriage to Herbert Elmore Klapp, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bertram Klopp, Zurich.
