Vandals have destroyed or
Stolen $1,158 worth of road signs
in McKillop Township so far this
year, William Campbell, town-
ship road superintendent
informed member of council at
the regular session in Winthrop
Monday.
:And they or their parents
have to help pay for this, in their
taxes," he said.
Mr. Campbell commended the
McKillop Federation of Agricul-
ture which has put up concession
number signs along • Huron
County road 12 north from
Seaforth and along McKillop's
east boundary road, north from
'Dublin separating McKillop and
Logan Townships.
Mr. Campbell reported a
supplementary road- grant of
$6,600 .had been received.
Council approved the purchase
of a V snowplow from Ryan
Bulldozing for $300, and author-
When the harvest is in and the
first snowflakes are in the air,
Toronto becomes the home of the
world's biggest . annual
agricultural fair - the capital and
show window of Canadian
farming. For well over half a
century, the Royal Agiricultural
Winter Fair - The Royal, as most
Canadians call it - has fulfilled its
four basic functions: competition,
information, ' entertainifient and
marketing. its, roots and
traditions go much further back
into history, to centuries of
country fairs in Europe and to the
early pioneer days of Canada.
This year's Royal is hold from
November 12th to 20th, from 8
a.m. to 10 p.m. on week days and
from 110 a.m. on Sunday, at the
Royal Coliseum in Toronto's
Exhibition Place.
Agriculture is still Canada's
largest basic industry, though the,
farm pogulation of this country
has dropped from at least 40
percent to less than5 per cent
sicne the first Royal was held in
Toronto shortly after World War
George Langlois of George of
Brussels attended a seminar in
ized putting on a second Jshift on
the grader for snow removal when
snow weather warranted it.
Passed for payment were
general accounts of $23,930.96
an'd road accounts of $8,547.03.
McKillop will pay $35 for the
polling booths on municipal
election day on December 6, an
increase of $5;deputy returning
officers, $40, an increase of $5;
and poll clerks $30, unchanged
frorn previous eleCtiori days.
The following , grants were
approved; McKillop Federation of
Agriculture, $650; Seaforth
Agricultural Society, $450; and
Brussels Fair Board $50.
Tile drainage debentures
approved to be submitted to the
provincial government for
payment $64,900.
The following applications for
building permits were Approved
as follows: Meade Baker, R.R. 1,
Seaforth, greenhouSe and .
I. Throughout these years, it, has
been the most . important single
event for promoting, stimulating
and improving Canadian
agriculture, as well as one of
Toronto's most colourful, exciting
and entertaining spectacles.
Today, as the "real" country is
pushed farther and farther away
from the centres of population, a
whole new generation is growing
up without any direct knowledge
of where our daily food actually
comes from. For those, a few
hours at the Royal can be much
more than an occasion for fun and
excitement. .
The most glamorous event, ,as
always, is the Royal Horse Show.
For the first time in several years,
the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police Musical Ride is back - one
of the world's most famous
equestrian spectacles with a
tradition almost as old as Canada
itself. In the international
jumping events, the top
equestrians from Canada and the
United States are joined by team's
from Belgium and Ireland as well
as two individual', competitors,

Clerk Marion McClure is to
send out letters to a number of
ratepayers who have not secured
building permits fof construction
work underway.
In answer to a question from
the newspaper representative at
the meeting all, present members
of council indicated they would
seek re-election: Reeve Allan
Campbell, 16 years on council, 8
as reeve; Deputy Reeve Ralph
McNiChol, 16 years on council, '3.
as deputy reeve; Councillor
one frorn the Netherlands and the
other froni Australia.
On a more practical side, there
is a completely new approach in
the food display - "Foodland
Canadian Style" - with les s
emphasis on selling and more on
free sampling, more decentraliza-
tion. of exhibits and more
demonstrations iii each. "The
:Story of Corn" will trace this
important crop from the field to
the consumer's table in its-many
uses and varieties.
The Royal Floyver Show
presents.' .a new face as well: it is
being transformed into a
"Garden of the Gods" with
gleaming white statuary
highlighting the floral symphony
of colours. Judging of animals
and crops, lively auctions, films,
automobiles, tropical fish, the
international poster competition
and many more old and new
features complete the most
popular event in Toronto's fall
season.
