Fair weather and a large
crowd were contributing factors
in making the Kirkton Fall Fair
on Friday last a successful event.
A full program of sports and
amusements was provided for en
tertainment with Reg Paul as
master of ceremonies.
Officiating at the opening cere
monies was Elston Cardiff, M.P.

duced by Hugh Berry, for many
years secretary-treasurer of the
society.
Pupils from various schools
marched in a parade and gave
their drills in front of the grand
stand. A stage show was held in
which the winners of the Kirk
ton Amateur Contest took part
with singing, tap-dancing, recita
tions and musical selections,
The indoor exhibits were ex
ceptionally good, with numerous
entries in baking and preserving.
There was a magnificent showing
of flowers, as well as in fruits
and vegetables,

well as a class for Palominos.
