It did not quite meet the rec- ord-setting standards of last, ac- c9fding to ,officials, but a large number of entries in _all events — horse show, stock show, and baby contest — forced the jud- ges to- spend considerable time making their decisions. The auction sale of calves fol- lowing the judging. attracted a large number of well-known buyers from Toronto and the area. A 998 -pound Hereford owned by Wayne Corbett, RR 1, Exeter, was purchased by Canada Packers Ltd. for $40.25 per hundredweight.. Average price paid for calf club stock was $32.25 cwt. Groups of steers sold for $28.'75 and single. market cattle at $30.7 25. The Fair got underway at 6:15 p.m. with a parade led by the Zurich majorettes and Zur- ich Community band, to the fairgrounds. Don Beer, Henseli, took first prize in the horse- drawn vehicle class. His entry , was an open stage that once ran between Clinton and Gode- rich. ' Officials hurried through the opening ceremonies as the rain ,began to fall.' Robert McKinley welcomed the visitors and com- petitors to .the Hensel' Fair, one of the oldest in Canada., Short- ly after the opening ceremon- ies, the rain stopped and the herse show continued. The horse . show was a treat J. J. Greene Defends Liberal Platform A six million dollar export tredit permit by the federal gov- ernment to Goderich's Domin- ion Road Machinery Co. for the proposed sale of 234 graders to Buenos Aires .brought roars of approval from the crowd atten- ding a Liberal rally in Goderich, Friday.. • J. J. Greene, minister of agri- culture, campaigning for Liber- al Candidate Mait Edgar, in mak- ing the announcement, told the gathering it might mean 50400 more jobs to area residents. The export credit permit makes pos- sible the filling of an export contract which Dominion Road Machinery Co. of Goderich had obtained with the South Amer- ican country. Mr. Greene, upon arriving by air in Goderich, was welcomed by Mr. Edgar, riding president Gordon McGavin of Walton, Huron Warden Calvin Kreuter; Brussels and Howard Aitken, chairman of the poderich Lib- eral Association. He was led into the court- house park by the Goderich band and a procession of young people with Trudeau banners. Mnit Edgar introduced Mf. Greene and commended the minister's work in obtaining benefits for Canada's farmers. He also praised Mr, Trudeau's leadership. Mr. Greene in beginning his speech told the gathering that Huron riding was "one of the crucial ridings". He urged them to cast their vote for Mr. Edgar because "it is essential that we have Mait Edgar on that Liberal team in the House of Comnions". Then he 'broke the news of the export credit permit by saying -he had just received a memorandum from the depart- .ment of" trade and commerce along with a memo from the trade ecurimiSsiener in Buenos Aireg. "The farmer has a right to as 'high 8 standard of living as anyone else. We believe the great problem is that he has in- sufficient control in the market place," ,he said. "We believe the national marketing board ap- ,proach is the best answer to the need of the Canadian farmer. It may .well be the Magna Carta of 'our agriceltural community." "That there is a great deal still to do we do not .deny. The problems ahead are the prob- lems of affluence. Inflation, high interest rates are problems that Come -when the economy has been going full steam," he explained. Appreciation was expressed by Mrs. 11 J. Murphy of Gode- rich. to spectators who braved chilly, conditions to see some beautiful and well-trained horses, display their talents before the judges. Even the youngsters got Leto the act on their Shetland ponies. In the stock show, top show- man and championship winner • was Bcib Kinsman who was pre- sented with the W. G. Thomp- son trophy. Runner-up was juti- ior showman, Les Coleman of Wayne Corbett captured two major awards for his prize Hereford. He won first. place trophies in the gain and finish classes. Among the judges were George Townsend, Seaforth and Barbara Watkins, Clinton, two active young 4-11 members who got their first taste of showman- ship judging. Mr. Townsend said he was pleased with the display put on by the calf club. He pointed out various differ- ences which helped Miss Wat- kins and he choose the cham- pions. • A complete list of winners in all events will be published next' week. Appoint County Assessor E. F.
