Despite the adverse weather conditions which prevailed during the five day celebration hundreds of shoppers thronged the store each day to take advantage of the many specials being offered and to receive their free gifts. Winner of the lucky draw for a large cake was Ted Robson, Zur- ich, and Mrs. Ray Fisher was the winner of the nylon hosiery. According to Charles Thiel, pro- prietor of the store, the same low prices which were in effect for the opening of the store, will be car- ried out throughout the whole year.

The report of last year's fair will be given at this time, and new offic- ers for the coming season will be appointed. Everyone who is the least bit interested in the work of a Fall Fair are urged to attend this 'meeting, and listen to the reports. There has been much criticism with the way the Fall Fair was carried out this past year, so the time and place to voice one's op- inion is at this meeting. More active directors are needed to carry on the work of this or- ganization, and only through a good attendance at this meeting will the interest of the public be shown. Whether or not you are a mem- ber of the Society you are asked to be present at this all-important meeting and help to re -organize the group so that this year may be still bigger and better than ever. Last year was a step in the right direction, and it would be nice to see the fair grow in size to compete with other districts around us. ready renewed their subscription to be sure they will not miss a single issue. Most of the subscribers will no- tice that their label reads Feb- ruary 1959, and while this paper will not expire until the end of February it will greatly convenien- ce our office work if people will start renewing them now. In this manner it will save a last minute rush for us when they all become due. So next time you are in town drop into the office and we will be glad to write you up for another year. There is no increase in the rates for the Citizens News for this year, as has been the case with many other weeklies. The rate will remain at $2.50 per year in Canada and $3.50 per year in the United States. Mand people have wondered why the difference in Price, the reason is that all papers going to United States must have a two cent stamp on them each week. There is only one regulation we must keep in order to hold our rating as an established newspap- er, and that is the fact that all subscriptions must be paid in ad- vance. After the expiry date it will be impossible to keep on sen- ding a paper to a person who may mean well and want to keep on subscribing. This is not our idea, but is enforced by the Post Office department, who make periodic checks of our records. If you have renewed your sub- scription lately we would Iike you to check your label and see if the correet date is on it, and if there should be an error advise us as soon as possible so we may check into it.
