LOSS POINTS .rUP 'IMPORTANCE
Arenas are:. particularly vulnerable to
fire andthe recent destruction of :the 1.
Port Elgin arena makes all communities
more. conscious ; of this, hazard. ' One. can-
not but admire the civic pride, and de-
. termination which ' spurs a community to . •
undertake replacement • of such. a 'loss:: A
community centre's ' true valuation, it seems,
is only fully realized` by . its ' destruction.
In Wingham there is • a current aware-

tion of their 'arena;

HARDLY CRICKET
(Kincardine News)
Some years ago the directors' of
Rill -
ley : and 'Huron. Agricultural Society chang-
ed,. their fair date, selecting the last
Saturday ' ')o f the month .of September.. to
stage the event.
It proved an advantageous ,move and.
the date was, generally recognized over, a
wide -area '-as that' . of- Ripley Fair.'
By .the same token, years ago Tees
water Agricultural Society claimed ,the
first Wednesday of October, to 'stage its
fair and '' achieved such . success it, became
known, as. "Canada's Largest Rural. • Fair..":.
Now ' Teeswater has decided to revert.
to' the. 'last Saturday of September, a move
which can be described as hardly :cricket..
We ,realize that the directors of any
agricultural society are primarily interest-.,
ed in -the ,success of. the fair and •contri=
.bute a great deal of ' time and effort to
assure this condition,, butWe do not ,think.
the interest should extend `to stealing a
neighbour's proclaimed traditional date,
Obviously, bothfairs can ,not oper-
ate on the same 'day, and if they tried to,.

fair,solution ' is, for Teeswater to
retain. its former date or pick one which�
does not interfere' with, the dates already
claimed by societies i the. clistric . •
