E. award for C Fairs in OntariO and Mrs. Omar Brooks did the honours of receiving the cheque. For the afternoon session the ladies held their own meeting in the same Concert Hall while the men attended the afternoon session in the Canadian room. Throughout these' sessions there seemed to flow the same feeling' that all Societies in.the organiz- ation should get down 'to eaith, leave off self seeking and iblod- sy, promote the idea that our forefathers had in mind , make Ontario Agricultural Societies a show place for local ideas and talents, and give Thanks to 'God for the Privilege of an organiza- tion that has stood the test of almost 150 years in Operation, longer than any other organization known in our Country. One of the best concerts and floor shows was held where 2000 , people crowded into the Canadian room, such a fitting place for an all Canadian show , featuring among the artists, Tornmy Hunter.

All people from •Bruce wore Bruce County tartan name tags. More delegates and more Fair Queens represented this District than any other in Ontario. The Lucknow delegates were complimented on, their attire and display on more than one occas-, ion as they used as their theme; the Promotion of Bruce County Tartan. Honourable mention was given them for this. TWQ dolls dressed in Bruce County . Tarfan and equipped with bagpipes were the centre of attraction in their display. All delegates frorn Luck- now :were proud to wear the tartan • throughout the convention and . 'always one could spot the other members of the group and their red hats. Demonstrations of Crafts arid' the Craft room always attract: hundreds but the climax of the convention came following the noon luncheon on Thursday where almost 1400 people sat doWn to a bountiful dinner of turkey and all the trimmings. Joseph COnnell of Kitchener opened, his address withr— "Are you part of the problem or are you part of the answer. Only you can provide the true present- ation" . _ With•his Wit and Wisdom in a few short minutes he ' had laughter echoing throughout the halls arid the next was challen ging each one there to go home and present the theme -,Are you pait of the problem or are you part of the answer. What haVe you done? Are you working for the love of it in your organization or are you there to steal Someone • else's glory. 'Are.you putting all •. of your real self into the organization or,are you saying . "What the Hell" , he or she" will I do the work and we will have a / Fair is good as last year anyway. "You area member , you are, able to use your talent be it one or ten, never ride.along on Someone else's ideas. N,evei steal some one else's talent ,. use your own: Yours may be hidden, but it'.s there ," he said. ' He was reminded of those who say they have no bad habits , but he wondered' what they did have, for all he could. see of these boast- ful folk was the fact. they had nothing. He asked 'O Is good ; gobd enough? Are yoU doing something for your Fair? Are you in clutches of apathy or are you changing it into enthusiasm?" "Make your town proud of you, rna,ke, your contribution - leaVe • off jealously and dwelling oh what some one else has done , who spent their time in creating a talent while you just went along for the ride".
