Wet Weather Grants
To Meet Fair Deficits
Hopes that a wet weather
grant from the- Ontario govern
ment would, meet the deficit of
this year’s Exeter Fajr were
partially confirmed Tuesday by
F, A, Lashley, superintendent of
agricultural societies for On-
i tario, at the annual meeting of
societies of district eight in
Kirkton.
Mr. Lashley said the govern
ment was prepared to carry out
its full program of assistance to those fairs who suffered a ser
ious loss in gate receipts through
bad weather. Because of the iarge number of fairs rained out
this year, it was reported earlier
that the grants would be considerably reduced.
The government will pay 90
percent of the difference between
gate receipts on the rainy day
and the average of three normal
years previous.
Exeter Society officials expect
this grant will help considerably
to meet the $400 loss on this
year’s fair. Both rain and snow
fell on fair day, cutting- the
crowd by at least one-third.
Mr. Lashley also announced a
change in legislation which will
provide government assistance
for all capital expenditures of
fairs in this area, which are re
garded as class “C” exhibitions.
The grant, given for improve
ments to building and grounds
or construction of new build
ings, amounts to 25 percent of
the costs. This assistance was
restricted ' previously to class
“A” and “B” fairs. -
Mr. Lashley, speaking(to over
100 .delegates .from agricultural
societies in Huron and Perth,
suggested thav each group take
a poll among spectators at their
fairs to see what features the
public enjoys. mdst.
“I' often wonder if we don’t
neglect the people who pay ad
mission At the gate,” Mr. Lash
ley said. “We take great pains
to cater to our exhibitors and
concessionaires but we are in
clined to forget about the pub
lic.”
Mr.. Lashley said one Such
poll was taken at Ohio state
fair in the United States and of
ficials were surprised to learn
that 50 percent of the spectators,
including many of those from
urban centres, wanted to see a
good livestock show.
Mr. Lashley quoted figures to
show that fall fairs across On-
traio represent big’ ■■ business.
Two hundred and fifty fairs, not
including the CNE, Western
Fair and other large exhibi
tions, operate on a budget of
$2,500,000. Over $500,000 is paid
out in prizes, annually and capi
tal expenditure each year
amounts to more than half a
million.
Discussions on 4-H work, fin
ancing and advertising were
features of the afternoon pro
gram.
Huron County Agriculture Rep-
resent a tive Gi W, Montgomery,
and Bruce McCorqudale, assist
ant ag rep for Perth, explained
the function of 4-H work and
described its importance to fairs,
Mr, Montgomery pointed out
that the main object of the 4-H
organization was not to produce
the best livestock or grain, but
to develop better farm citizens.
H. R. Webster, St. Marys, and Earl McSpadden, Seaforth, led
the discussion on financing a
fair and Ken Reaney, Mitchell,
spoke on. advertising.
Present officers, including
Chairman Sid Harlow, St. Marys,
and Secretary Ken Reaney, of
Mitchell, were re-elected for an
other year.
The banquet was. served by
“The. Class that Counts” in
Kirkton United Church, Ken
Blacker, Kirkton, sang, several
songs accompanied by Mrs, H.
Davis.
Mrs. Claytpn. Smith, Kirkton, and Home Economists Miss Bul
lock and Miss ,Huber conducted
the ladies meeting.
Mrs. Clayton- Smith, R.R. 1
Kirkton, was returned as direc
tor of the women’s division.
Mrs. R. W, Kestle, Exeter, was
named secretary-treasurer. ‘
Attending from the Exeter So
ciety were President
Pooley, Secretary Clark
Vice-President William
zie and Directors Mrs.

had been any smoldering before
the flames broke out. When I
looked back at the barn On my
way out to the cows, all I could
see was flames.”
“John Scott, the fire.-chief
from Seaforth, thinks' it must
have’'been combustion but I’-ve
had the hay in the mow fgr'three
months now. I don’t understand
it.”
He yelled from the lane and
his wife, who was dressing their
five children, came' out, saw the
flames, then turned in the. a-
larm. A neighboring cOuple, Mr.
and Mrs. George Varley, who
had' just called at the farm,
heard the shouting as they were
leaving and-'returned to help.
“I couldn’t have put out the
blaze if I’d had a fire hose,”
Mr. Finlayson stated. “I got a
bucket of water and took it up
stairs but the’ flames were all
over the mow.”
, Neighbors rushed over ahd
helped the family save 23 pigs,
three. purebred Herefords, 140
hens, chop, feed and the motor
of the water pump.
When the Sfeaforth brigade ar
rived it- Concentrated on keep
ing the fire from spreading to

Family Farm
The, barn was erected by Mr J
Finlayson’s father, a. framer
who built many of the barns ih
the area. The farm .had been
in the Finlayson name since it
was bleared.
Loss is estimated at’Ound $20,-
000, part of it insured by the
Farnj Economic^ Branch, OAC,
Guelph, who stated that the
cream producer works for 13
cents an hour. Cost of production
has increased but b.utter floor
price has remained at 58 cents a
pound for several years.
The meeting went on record as
not supporting. the stabilization
fund at the present time.
Ken‘Parkinson, Wingham< field
man with the Ontario Milk Pro
ducers Board, pointed out that
over 96 per cent of the butter
produced in Ontario is first
grade. “During September1, it
reached 97.16 per cent,-” he re
ported.
It was suggested by President
Hume Clutton, RR 5, Goderich,
and proved by Dr. Caldwell, that
butter may become a luxury
product within the next 10 yeafs
bfecauSe of the unsatisfactory
price of producing butter as com
pared .to producing fluid milk. ,
Elected as president of the
group was Simon Hallahan, RR
1, Belgrave, succeeding Mr. .Clut
ton. An RR 1, Dublin, producer,
Russell Bolton, will serve as vice-
president, ■’ and . Gordon Greig,
Blubvale, secretary - treasurer. Directors will include Mr. Clut

Company. The owner estimated
it would take at least $15,000 to
replace the barn. <
The Finlaysotts had "“decided to
fix up1 the barn for1 a dairy herd
this summer because their child
ren were reaching the age where
they could help with the chores.
“Wp thought it would give us a
regular, income, too,” said the
father. He had acquired eight
co.ws this summer and was hop
ing to’get more.
