GET BEHIND THE FAIR
On Wednesday and Thursday next
■week the Turnberry Agricultural Soc
iety will present the annual Wingham
Fall Fair. The directors are hopeful
that the public will give this enter
prise the support it deserves.
Many fairs in this district
throughout the province have
cancelled, but those in charge
are going ahead and all they ask is
.that the public show their apprecia
tion of their efforts by getting behind
the Fair.
The Canadian National Exhibition
ithis year had a larger attendance than
Hast season, and it is the hope of
those in charge of Wingham Fair that
it will be the same here.
Throughout the year those respon
sible for the Fair, plan and work that
this annual event will be a success.
They have done their part, now it is
up to the public to
make- the Fair the
possible.

had the opposite effect to which the

Dog Tied in. Swamp
Authorities are seeking perpetrators
of an inhuman act • which has come
to light. Residents of Carrick Town
ship, Louis Schefter and family, for
nearly a fortnight heard whining
sounds coming from a swamp nearby
each night, so finally decided to in-'
vestigate. They found a beagle hound
firmly tied by three ropes, two of
which had been chewed by the canine.
It was in a piteous state of starvation.
The Schefters took it to their home
but it was so exhausted that it was
considered advisable to destroy the
animal.
