District Deputy Grand Master Victor Lee. of Huron District No. 8, introduced the Past Grand Mas- ters. who addressed the meeting on plans for the extension and fin- ancing of the Oddfellows Horne in Barrie. Owing to the bad roads, the attendance was not as large as had been hoped for. After the meeting a social hour was spent. which fairs and eithibitions, ere facing and which must be over- come, if fairs are to properly serve the public. Pointing out that local contra ities, like countries, were no Jong- er isolated one from the other Mx: McGuggin said this meant loc'a1 fairs no longer had captive audi- ences, but were required to com- pete with large exhibitions, as well as with other entertainment media, such as TV. Fairs, to hold their own, must mean more in an educational sense, Millions are being spent in prize money. Is this money re- sulting,. in a proper contribution being made to the Canadian econ- omy and the agricultural industry, or is it serving only to perpetuate less than the best in exhibits, he asked. • Competitive sections of fairs needed to be modernized and glam- orized to interest urban and rural people alike. They should edu- cate farm people. but at the same time interest and sell agriculture to the city dweller. Too much is taken for granted with respect to records. Officials should demand R.0 P. and regis- tration details to prevent mediocre stock being exhibited.

At the same time, if a fair indi- cated a desire to .change with the times- to improve, it could: cog tinue to do a job for its commun- ity.
