A revival of the fall fair, which was an arminual event at tioderch for many years, is a suggestion that has been made from time to time. It was made anew at Friday night's Town Council meeting bay Councillor C. M. Robertson. The a.fore111elltioltetl councillor suggested that Goderich merchants and other interested individuals go into a huddle with Town Council to see it something could be done to get the fair goitre Ile imiI1ted out there wasn't enough done in (loderieh to encourage district farmer: to c,it11e here. With the latter statement Wo ar,' its hearty agreement. We do nottier a minute believe that (,ode - rich intt'utiut1:111y discourages farm patronage. We think that titnlerich is simply lacking in due consideration of promoting things that will draw worearea farmers to town. It is a platter of +rcgleeted foresight that is worthy of rnark,',liv more consideration than it has lleerl iriv,in —Comparatively speaking, Goderich is not the farmers' shopping centre ttia't either Clin- ton, Ey,•tt•r or Wingham is. Yet the stores of Gotlt H•it offer a greater variety and volume of mervilutlise, generally speaking, than any - of the aforementioned munreipalrtles do. Why, then, dates Goderieh not enjoy the patronage of farra,r: to the extent that it should and sari! The County Town of Iluron has a bit of INQUISITI Canadian citizens were being asked by im- migration officersshow, long they had been in the United States. One citizen, not being of the docile type that' reverences civil servants, wanted to know why the question was asked, hid'°rereived the answer-tror11 the immigration officer, "Because I aril asking you.'' Realizing, perhaps, that he had been imper- tinent, the officer went on to explain thattie citizen might have been out of the county long -..enough. to have acquired another status, but the citizen still feels that the question was just as impertinent as the answer and that the explanation did not excuse it. If there Were any doubt about a person's citizenship, he tonight reasonably be asked to prove,—that he was Canadia)1, but a Canadian's length of ab- t'3ence frorethe country has nothing to do with everything but not a pronounced degree "of anything. By this we mean, it has more tourist trade than any other municipality in Huron County but can not be classified as a definitely tourist town. Certainly not in com- parison to Port Elgin, for example, to the north of us. It has a group of very fine in- dustries, yet it most assuredlyQ can not be classified as a manufacturing centre. Towns smaller than (aoderich have more industries. It draws a reasonably good farm trade, but cart not, by any stretch of the imagination, be called a farmers' trading town, On a per capita basis (considering its population of 5,7:1:11, it sloes not draw as Much farming trade as outer centres.

Since it ran not he classified primarily as either a pre-eminently tourist town, or man11-_ factllrilig town or'- farmers' trading town, it resolves itself into a bit of each of those classifications. .'1s a ruannfaettiring towel, its turn will come in due course. As a tourist town, it can he made a much busier one with more attention givers to what tourists are seeking wh'ieh, of course, would involve the expenditure of. co11- sidemad e money. As a farmers' trading town, things could definitely be done to bring more of the rural neighbors our way. And one step in this direction would he the revival of the fall fair.

Ile remains a citizen until he formally renounces his al- legiance, and he is entitled to all the rights that ,citizenship implies, including the right to rt ii e lo answer questions put by inquisitive Officials who have no business to ask them. One lady, a native of Virginia, gets some quiet amusement in puzzling the _Canadian immigration officers whenever she crosses the border. She became a naturalized 'Canadian some years ago, when she married a Canadian citizen. After her husband's' death, she re- turned to Virginia togive, but she has retained both her Canadian citizenship and her soft southern accent. Whenever she visits Canada, she enjoys seeing the immigration officers trying to reconcile the accent -with her valid Canadian passport. She has not deigned- to help them.
