Large Future Writers in the daily press in re- cent weeks have suggested the pass- ing of the smaller fail fair is at hand. Yarious reasons are advanced why this condition exists, the first being the degree of centralization which now obtains, and the extent to which improved - transportation has made more . readily available enter- tainment which at one time, not so Many years ago, was too far .remov- ed to be of interest. Certainly, fall fairs, like hockey and loran anther events common to the analler eomn uh ties,, are being subjected to a:, gres,t deal of paressuare as a result, of the manner in which we live today,.' But it sloes net fol- low that there are not many such fairs that can meet the challenge of the times. Those societies that realize condi- tions have changed and that their methods of operation, satisfactory under conditions of a dozen or more years ago, must undergo correspond - ink changes, can not only survive but can go on to serve their communi- ties to an even greater -extent than they did in the past. A fall fair is but a reflection of the attitude of the people that make up the .community in which it is lo- cated. If a community is determined that it will keep up with changing conditions and develop,and grow in size and attitude, so then will its, fall fair do likewise. The support which is extended by Seaforth and district 'citizens .to the Fair here Friday will indicate in no small measure what the future holds for this fair. and building material R1\► ViSU r �'4T� � 'la�l\ qtr We are in the midst of moving to our modern new plant on Railway,Street and as a result it won't be possible to greet our many friends at Seaforth Fall Fair this year: We do want to tell you, however, that we have appreciated your support in the past and look forward to serving you in the years to come from our new location.

Motorists In regular session on Monday night the Wingharp town council decided to authorize the renting of an electronic device by Chief of Police Bert Platt, in an effort to curb speeding motorists within the municipality. The Chief pointed out that convictions are very diffi- cult to obtain unless some device which accurately measures the speed of cars ' can be employed. Such apparatus is available at Har- riston and has been used success- fully there and at other places in the province. Council instructed Chief Platt to rent the machine b when he deems it advisable to do t so.

HOW GOOD ARE 'YOUR DRIVING" HABITS?: DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS - ONTARIO 15-6 MOSTLY WAGES STEEL PRICES are not simply the aggregate of costs in a steel mill. Others also get paid, including those - who work in iron mines, coal mines, limestone quar- ries, on railways, steamships, motor trucks, in sales • offices, and elsewhere. In fact, all prices are mostly ,.wages and salaries. So there is an upward pressure on prices with every increase ,in wages, though investment in better equip- ment does help to absorb such wage increases. u, No one can afford to be indifferent to rising industrial wage costs, for these tend to lead to higher prices. As users of steel in many forms, all farmers in particular arC adversely affected when higher 'city . wages raise production costs and selling prices. THE STEEL .
