Cosford were host and hostess far the Fireside grope of First Presby- terian Church on Tuesday eve- ning, when Mrs. Joseph Mc- Connell, of town, was the guest speaker. She brought a timely message, using for her subject, "The New Hospital." She gave a comprehensive and interest- ing talk and brought to Light many answers to questions which were asked by the group. Mrs. McConnell in a pleasing manner told of the events lead- ing up to the purchase of the new site for the hospital, and explained the reason why it was imperative that we have a new building.

Campbell, a direc- tor and past president of Sea - forth Agricultural Society, was re-elected for his second term as director of the Perth -Huron section of the Ontario Associa- tion of Agricultural Societies, during the noon luncheon held in the auditorium of the Coli- seuxn, Stratford, on Wednesday. Also re-elected were Earl Dick, Cromarty, president of South Huron Agricultural So- ciety, and associate director, and Arther S. Bolton, Seaforth, secretary treasurer. In the women's section, Mrs. Roy J. Coulter, RR 2, Milver- ton, was elected district repre- sentative; Mrs. Delmer Skinner, Centralia, associate represent- ative, and Mrs. Howard Smith, Listowel, secretary -treasurer. Douglas L. Waterston, Lon- don, editor-in-chief of t h e Farmer's Advocate, speaking at the noon luncheon, told of seven criticisms he has heard about fall fairs. Where he wasn't able to show that fairs are justified in their manner of operation, he offered some suggestions, all in the light of the seven criticisms. The first objection by some, he said, is that small fairs have outlived their usefulness. "We don't believe this," he said, "since man is still the same size and the . neighborhood is still important. Actually, the real charm is in this smallness and neighborly feeling." Some, he said, criticize fairs because their attendance is down, but this "should not be the criterion in judging small fairs, What matters is partici- pation of the community." He urged citizens to become "doers through local fairs" and told of an English practice of holding judging competitions for adults after classes have been officially judged. In Quebec, he said, fairs hold agricultural knowledge tests for adults. • Essential Item The third criticism—that.. a small group of breeders is showing to a small group of breeders—is also not justified, in Mr. Waterston's opinion. "Just because there.. are only a few people around doesn't say demonstrations of chemicals on living test rows be tried. Local Classes The fifth point — that fairs are in the hands of profession- als—could be changed by a revolving directorate, and per- haps by featuring local classes, he said. Another complaint is that buildings are not used all year. This, he said, could be chang- ed by using the buildings as community centres. The final criticism was that fairs are too costly, but Mr. Waterston said he „felt fairs LOCAL Miss Sharon Hotham, Brant- ford, spent the weekend at her home here.

Bennett, Clin- at an Ottawa fair called "rail- ton, birding" in which adults are given a chance to judge "on the rails" along with profes- sional judges. A dramatic end- ing to a livestock show, he said, is also necessary. Others, he said, criticize fairs because they do not offer enough for the masses.
