Warden, Huron County
Traditionally the local Agri-
culture fair in HuronCounty pro-
vides a very important commu-
nity service. Agriculture is our
main industry, local fair boards
through the years have assisted
us by promoting and encouraging
improvements of all farm pro-
ducts through prizes and awards.
Many of these improvements have
resulted in more efficient meth-
ods which has meant savings to
the consumer.
As a result of the competition at
fairs our young people are taught
that personal effort brings re-
ward. This will no doubt be a last-
ing lesson assisting them to be
better citizens, more fully equip-
ped to take their place in what-
ever occupation that they may
choose.
On behalf of the 1965 Huron
County Council I take pleasure in
congratulating the directors and
all the exhibitors. We wish you all
continued success in the years
ahead.
By JAMES HAYTER
Deputy-Reeve of Stephen
Once again it is the time of year
when we look back on summer and
look forward to the beauty of the
fall season and fair time. I would
like if you would pause with me on
behalf of the people of the Town-
ship of Stephen to say a few words
about the Exeter & Community
Fair. Let us say first, how proud
we are of the people who do all
the organizing and the prepar-
atory work to make this fair a
success. I am sure there are
hours of endless work throughout
the year. A fair cannot be built in
a week or a month, but must be the
work of the different organiza-
tions throughout the year.
What good is a Fall Fair?
How does the Exeter Fall Fair
benefit the Township of Stephen?
These questions probably enter
all of our minds at some time or
another and it is my task to try
and answer them. For one thing,
this annual event provides amu-
sement for all citizens of Stephen,
adults and children alike. It sets
a goal for the area farmers as
they exhibit their prize products
which vary from flowers, vege-
tables, poultry and livestock.
This, thus, provides for the en-
richment of the agriculture
of Stephen. The students of our
schools also contribute as they
prepare different handicrafts in
competing for various prizes.
This also in many ways provides
the know how and eagerness of
boys and girls to be strong com-
petitors and in the future to be
strong leaders within our com-
munity.

Reeve John Corbett of Hay
Township says competition is a
good thing in a com rnunity, there-
fore our Fail Fairs must go on.
They are a boost to both town
and rural folks. It adds interest
to our young people who have
exhibits as well as the parade
and costumes.
The men folk show their grains,
roots etc. the very best they can
find. women do take the big end
of the show, they help the child-
ren also their husbands as well
as the many articles they can
show. There is a lot of work
and planning done to a fair but it
is well worth the effort and if the
weather doesn't co-operate just
make the best of it.
By JACK DELBRIDGE
Mayor of Exeter
A symbol of fall is "Fair
Time" and with it comes the bus-
tle of preparation and organi-
zation.
A sense of unity is felt in the
friendly competition of the rural
community with the town. Our
Exeter Fair represents an ex-
hibition of flowers, fruits, veg-
etables and crafts from the young
and old alike enabling the com-
munity to see their talents on ex-
hibition.
Our Fair is a visiting day for
many, gathering together not only
the people of our town but our
friends from neighboring com-
munities.
On behalf of the town of Exeter,
I extend an invitation to everyone
to come to our "Fair" as an ex-
hibitor or observer. We welcome
your attendance, which will make
1965 — Exeter Fall Fair a mem-
orable event.

No plow in all history, not even John Deere, ever
received more immediate and positive farmer approval
than greeted John Deere Semi-Integral Plows 'when
they were introduced in 1962. And when you hook
such a plow onto 'the old dependable' the 4020 as
we have here, it becomes a unit that plows and plows
and plows. These plows handle trash that would plug
most plows in minutes. One big reason is clearance
formerly available only on special trash plows —
27-7s inches fore-and-aft, and 28-1/2 inches under the
box-beam truss. This clearance also permits use of
large, trash-shearing coulters — up to 22 inch. Trash
boards and a wide range of precise adjustment also
help to assure good work in heavy ground cover.
Be sure to take a close look at the Jahn Deere plows
and tractors on display at The Fair this year. We're
putting together an exhibit every farmer will want
to See.
All controls are at your fingertips
A c onveni en t lever swivels the spout quickly through a
270-degree arc. A second lever starts and stops the
thrower. The roller-chain-driven auger disengages auto-
matically if it hits a hidden curb or picks up a chunk of
ice. Most of the muscle for raising the thrower is pro-
vided by a helper spring attached to the lift lever.
