NEW ARENA ,FULLY UPIL Z e AT FALL FAIR
•
One of the factors responsible for the success of the Seaforth Fall Fair was the new arena.
Available for the first time as fall fair accommodation, the arena provided ample space for the
merchants' displays, eggs and dressed poultry exhibits, and school exhibits.
Arnold Campbell, son of Mr. and Mrs. George R. Campbell,
R.11. 1, Seaforth, proudly displays his pair of Yorkshire sows
which won first prize in the Swine Club Competition at the Sea -
forth Fall Fair last Friday. His hogs scored 365 points, of a
possible 400.
Smoke Blacks Out District
During Sunday . Afternoon
•
Street Lights Turned On
As Sun Hidden B y
Dense Clouds.
Seaforth district, in common
with muoh of Southern Ontario,
was blacked out Sunday afternoon
by dense clouds of smoke. By two
o'clock it had become so dark that
Seaforth street lights were turn-
ed on. They were not turned off
until nearly 4:30 in the afternoon.
Motorists drove with their head-
lights on.
Shortly after 12 o'clock it be-
came apparent tba,t more than an
ordinary sunless day was in the
offing. Within an hour a vast pur-
ple cloud covered the skies and it
was sufficiently dark to necessl^
tate lights in residences. 'the
strange occurrence was blamed on
almost everything from atomic
bombs to daylight saving.
But scientists' explanation Wds
no less strange: Forty forest fires
in remote northern Alberta had
sent up a huge pall of smoke that
drifted in freakish Mende to throw.
a mid-day blackout over areas
2,000 miles away. On Monday , th e
piirple canopy moved slowly over
New York State and plunged Tor-
onto into prolonged gloom.

JR. FARMERS' CLUB
PROVIDES FAIR
PROGRAMME
(By Mac Bolton)
Member:e of the local Junior
Farmers' Club and 'Junior Institute
provided a program the night be-
fore bhe fair for the Chamber of
Commerce in the Community Cen-
tre. The program consisted of sing-
ing, square dancing, tap dancing,
instrumentals and selections by
the orchestra. This is the drat
public appearance the newly -form-
ed club has made, and I think the
people should now be convinced of
the value of a junior farmers' club
in a. community. i
Members are reminded of the
regular meeting on Oct. 3, when
the guest speaker will be Jas. M.
Scott, Who will snpeak on crop ro-
tation • and cropping practices.
itoll tail Will be the number of
acres of cultivated land on each
member's farm.
"It is the best fair I 'have ever
seen," said Robert Scarlett, "since
I was first a director in 18.85." This.;,'
opinion of the fair was reiterated
at least once by every person who
attended the Seaforth Fall Fair '
last Thursday and Friday.
In his remarks during the open,
int ceremonies, Russell T. Bolton,
President of the Seaforth Agricul-
tural Society, paid tribute to the
work done by the Seaforth Cham-
ber of Commerce in planning and .
arranging the merchants' and
manufacturers' displays.
The fair was officially opened' at
3 p.m.,' on._L•riday by James N: r
Corry, Atwood, M.P. for Perth, act-
ing as the representative of Robt.
McGubbin, M.P. for East Middle-
sex, and Parliamentah'y Assistant
to the Minister of Agriculture. '
Other personalities who wished
the fair good luck were A. Y. Mc-
Lean, M.P. for Huron -Perth, Thos
Pryde, M.L.A. for Huron, and J.
M. Govenlock, a past president of
the fair.
One of the leading features of
the fair was the li><th annual reg-
ional show of the Perth-Huroa,
Shorthorn Club, of which Dr. M.
W. Stapleton is president. The
club brought out- a record entry: of
124 head of Scotch Shorthorns, R.
C. Parker, Watford, judge of the
show, said that, many of the .Short-
horns would not have been out of
place in any Shorthorn show 'in
Canada,
Something new in the Junior
Farmer division was a traotor
safety contest, devised by Gordon
McGavin, Walton. The 17 farm
boys who entered the contest were
blindfolded while hazardswere ar-
ranged on a set of farm machin-
ery.
achinery. When the blindfolds were
removed, the lads were given the
task of spotting the dangerous fea-
tures. Later in the demons•tra
"tions, two life-sized dummies et re
used todemenetrate dangler*
wor'king `c1 se to exposed 'aha £s,
belts and gears of power -driven
maohinerq.
The Seaforth Highlanders Band
and the Bannockburn Pipe Band of
Varna led the parade of brightly -
costumed school children from
downtown to the fair grounds.
Winners of the prizes for best en-
tries in the parade were: Urban,
St. James' Separate School, Sea -
forth Public School; rural, S.S. 6.
McKillop; S.S. 8, Hullett; SSS. 3,
Hullett; S.S, 4, McKillop. '
Calf Club
Sixteen boys brought out calves
to show ilt the achievement day of
the Seaforth Calf Club, held as
part of the program of the Fair.
The calf club exhibition was con-
ducted by Gordon Bennett, agri-
cultural representative for Huron,
and his assistant, Fred Wilson.
Mac Bolton had the best overall
score on the day's: showing, get-
ting a first place for his calf and
being ranked second for showman-
ship among the 16 club members
who were in the ring. Kenneth
Campbell, who was rated best at
showmanship, had fourth prize for
his calf. Bob Parsons was well up
on both lists, showing the second
best animal and being rated third
for showmknship.
Swine Club
Awards made in the judging of
pairs of gilts shown by members
of the Seaforth Swine Club: Arn-
old Campbell 365, Elgin Schade
354, Ronald Trewartha 346, Ken
R. Campbell 344, John S. Murra¢
343, Peter Hicknell 342, Francis
Hicknell 338. Douglas Keys 336, •
John McGavin 335.
Mrs. Cecil Lyddiatt, Walton, was
slightly injured when a horse
went out of control during a run.-
fling
un-ping race c. the track. Mrs. Lyd-
diatt was standing at the edge of
the track when the horse stepped
on her toe, and either knocked
her down, or made her step back
and stumble so that she fell. She
was bruised and slightly cut by
the gravel on which she fell Her
foot is not believed to be serious-
ly injured.
Much of the success of the Fair
was due to the untiring efforts of
the secretary. E. B. Goudie.
