SHEEP ,EXHIBIT AT SCHOOL FAIRS School Fairs in Huron County will begin three weeks from Thursday. An added feature to our School Fairs this year will be a sheep exhibit. This is being arranged through the assistance of the Federal Branch of the Department of Agriculture, co- operating with the local branch here. The truck will visit our School Fairs, carrying representatives of some. of the leading breeds of sheep as well as representatives of the market class- es of sheep. A special effort will be made to sell high class rams for com- mercial flocks. A supply of rams has been secured, most of them from Huron County, although some have been secured outside. These will be sold to purchasers at cost. It is hoped in this way to encourage sheep breeding throughout the County.

TO BE MORE PLEASANT FOR MOTOR TOURISTS As a result of negotiations entered into by the Ontario Motor League both with Ottawa and Washington, the lot of the tourist this season will be a much more enjoyable one. Up to the present time cars cross- ing into Canada from the United States which carried a radio outfit were compelled to make a deposit of $75 before being allowed to take it into the country. As a result, those who did so had $75 less to spend here than would otherwise have been the case. The Cleveland Motor Club reported to the 0. M. L. that a num- ber of its members who had toured Ontario recently had the money they had planned to spend on their trip here curtailed to that extent while others who would otherwise have en- joyed the pleasure of having a radio along had left it behind. The League authorities here accordingly got into communication with the Dominion Department of Customs at Ottawa o and the result has been that the de- n ,partment has consented to consider t radio outfits carried by visiting tour- p ists as part of the car equipment, p without any expense attached what- p ever. The League has followed this sus- i cessfui effort up with the request that b Ottawa admit trailers under the same c conditions. It has now become more p or less of ,a custom for tourists wish- ing to take their earn camping nut- o fit along to do so with the aid of a t trailer car, but when those from the a United Staten attempted to do so they were refused admittance unless duty was paid on the trailer. The i rescinding of this regulation will do o a great deal to encourage more of o the camper tourists to come here. a On behalf of the Ontario tourist y wishing to cross the line into the a United States, the 0. M. L. has now secured the necessary authority from a Washington, D. C., whereby all mem- hers of the League may be saved the B necessity of securing a consular per- n mit by simply showing their mem- b bership card at any point of entry into the United States.
