Cardno. Reeve_ Subject of a series of meet- gs 'extending over several onths,, the centennial project LW prompted suggestions cov- 4ring., a wide range of munici- pal facilities. Originally, council had ap- roved as the project the con- truction of a street to serve e new ^hospital, but this fail - to gain a clearance from rovincial officials. Latest sug- estion was provisibn of a Scout Mall, but council hesitated when faced with undetermined oper- ating costs. It was following that decision that the matter' Was turned back to the cen- 4ennial committee established early this year by the former Mayor Earl Dinsmore. Reeve Cardno said time did hot permit a detailed plan of the proposed -park area im- provements.' •His committee re-. .commended the project be for- warded for approval in order to meet the November 9th dead- line for_grant applications, and that qualified consultantsthen lie employed to work out details within the funds available.

He said there was no hesita- tion in endorsing the job be- ing done by Scouts, and sug- gested that if the Scout asso- ciation tame With a specific pro- posal-' and asked for. help, it probably would be forthcom- ing.

Keeley, public re- lations chairman for the On- tario Associations, was the noon hour speaker. Her re- mark's were informative, educa- tional and enlightening. In part, she advised "the societies to revise their prize lists, in women's work as well as men's, to really promote agriculture. Many who are interested are actually not agricultural peo- ple. Public relationsis still al- most unknown in agricultural societies. If you don't have the co-operation of your commun- ity, take a close look at your program to see if it includes items that appeal to your com- munity. Send prize lists to the lady directors. Make prize lists narrower, to fit a man's pocket or a lady's purse. "Budget for advertising; don't •±' • expect it for nothing. Remem- ber, the press and radio and TV want for news, what is news only. "You shouldn't change your public relations convener each year. "You must :have - something at your fair to. attract urban as well as rural people. "Have a first night show of local talent, and work in the children. See what a crowd that will bring. "You should control the price amusements charge at your "Have one key person at your fair who knows when each ev- ent will take place. "Plate a good garbage can or two near your refreshment booth. Wrappers and paper cups are unsightly when thrown on the ground. "If you have guests at your fair, for goodness sake make them welcome," ' Elect Officers • During the noon hour the fol - towing district officers for the men's division were elected for a one-year term, the 1984 offi- cers being all returned to com- plete their two-year cycle; Dis- trict director, Earl Dick, Hen- sall; associate director, George Watt, Blyth; secretary -treasur- er, Ron McMichael, Gorrie.
