Local Agricultural
Society Plans Bigger
Better Fair This Year
Tuckersmith Reeve
Members of the Seaforth Agri-
cultural Society agreed with Ires4-
dent Arthur Nicholson, when he
suggested that the 1953 Fair was
the best in the history orthe so-
ciety. The annual meeting, held
Thursday, heard reports from com-
mittees which, indicated the flair to
have been an outstanding success.'
Mr. Nicholson, in his -remarks,
eomrnented on the assistance- and
co-operation rendered by the Sea -
forth chamber of Commerce:
G. W. Montgo eery, Huron Coun-
ty's agricultural representative, ad-
dressed the meeting, giving con-
structive criticism. He stated that.
in 1953 the Seaforth- Fair was the
only one in the county that had
rain to mar events; this, also cut
down gate receipts as the ,rain
came in the mid-afternoon. Ile con-
sidered that Seaforth Fair ought
logically to have a "Class B" rat-
ing,
ating, as it has a 'better setup than
Most of the societies in the •coun-
ty.
He •suggested that the society
continue with its beef and dairy,
calf clubs, its grain clubs, and its
champion showmanship classes for
beef and swine clubs. "The show-
manship classes of last year for the
Senator Golding trophy;' he said.'
"were exceeded only by t b, e
Queen's Guineas class at the Royal
Winter Fair." - These classes, he
Pointed out, can qualify for the
provincial grant, and• the three
grain clubs sponsored last .year cost
the society only $75.
Asks For Help
Way Clear to Construct
New Courthouse for Huron
• Since 1946 a matter of continuing
concern to County Council, the
construction of a new court house,
will be proceeded with early next
year. That was the decision of
county council at its meeting Fri-
day.
Estimated cost of the new build-
ing is $500,000. The estimate has'
risen by $150,000 since decision to
proceed•with construction was first
arrived at eight years ago.
The leayear-old court house will
be torn down to make way for the
new building which, like its pre-
decessor,is to be located in Court
House Park.
While the new structure is being
erected, it is hoped to house county
offices at the old Collegiate, vacat-
ed in September, 1952, when a new
collegiate building wag finished.
Council property committee was
instructed to make arrangements
with Goderioh Town Council for
obt-a.thing the temporary accommo-
dation.

en the copy by a friend, who in

ing changes," he said, "changes' to
follow the trend of the times."

two years, was read, but the mem-
bers would not consider it then. He
was asked to reconsider the mat-
ter. Mr. Snow said he would -act as
treasurer gratis if the society wouidi
secure a. secretary. The meeting
agreed to procure someone who
could work along with Mr. Snow

ter was. left to the executive.

Chairmen Report
•Chairmen of the various divisions
gave their reports. For heavy ?hors-
es Elgin Nott said the ring was too
far away from the speaker's stand
and exhibitors were unable to hear
classes called, but all exhibitors
were satisfied. Light horses: Alan
Campbell said his committee got
into'hot'water by cutting out some
of the classes, so they had to re-
vise the list because they couldn't
run a fair without exhibitors. Beef
cattle: Oliver Anderson said'"the
regional shows surpassed any pre-
vious exhibits in quality and num-
ber, and he would like to see the
Hereford show here in 1954.
J. F. Scott, reporting for dual-
purpose Shorthorns, said the prize
list will have to be revised to get
exhibitoes, out in that class. Dairy
cattle: Irwin Trewartha said no.
Ayrshires were Shown, but there
was an increase in the number of
Jersey and Holstein exhibits. He
announced that the Perth -Huron
Jersey show, will beheld in con
junction with the 1954. Fair, with a
possible 8o animals to be exhibited.
Guy 'Dorrance, reporting for the
sheep division,said there were
more flocks, out with more prize
money paid. Ken Stewart, report-
ing for the srwine s'eetion,•.sakt-ail
the pens were filled• and the club
completed 100 per cent. Andrew
Moore, dressed poultry and eggs di-
vision, said the egg exhibit has
slipped. He stated that, owing to so
many crossbreeds now, it is almost
impossible to •get white eggs ane
more, and he felt a change there
should be, made and suggested
more in prize money. Robert
Campbell, calf clubs, said that the
championship show should be con-
tinued:, although it costs the society
considerable money.
Praises 4-H Clubs
R. S. McKercher said the 4-H
Clubs were the most important
part of the Fair, and urged the so-
ciety to •continue and even extend
4-H Club .groups. Reporting for the
scbool children's parade, Mr. Mc-
I{ercher said last year all went
smoothly. He remarked that the
judlges for the parade were more
difficult to keep tab on than the
children. Harold Pryce, for the
field crop competitions, said there
were Hull classes in corn and grain,
and he would like to see them con-
Untied,.

R. T. Bolton, reporting tier sports

Police inrvestigatiop. into a series of break-ins in Seaforth early
Monday and Tuesday mornings is continuing, according to Constable
1. D. Wade, of the local detachrment. While several possibilities are
being examined, no • positive clues as to those involved rare available.
The first . break-in was early •
Monday morning when a pane of
giase was broken to gain access to
Clarke's Garage. According. to Mr.
Clarke, the glass was •broken and
the door unlocked. A sale was
rung up on the cash register, per-
mitting it to open and the con-
tents, about $20;" taken', Mr. Clarke
said.

tion of Milton Hoff was entered

arettes,' was • taken. A padlock
was smashed from the front door.

small change. Cigarettes and pota-
to chips added to the loot.
It 'is the second time in a little
over a year that Oke's Billiards has
been robbed, Mr. Oke stated. Af-
ter the first incident, Mr. Oke felt.
he had taken sufficient additional
precautions to properly lock the
door, but in the right of this week's

had had to install additional bars.

a real challenge. and you mist
think oil new ways .to raise funds.'

on and improve on what they al-
ready have.

the society consider undertaking
the showing and .sale of fat cattle,
probably in the early summer.
