FALL FAIR CONDITONS <Editorial in Toronto Globe) Bowmanville Fair has suspended after sixty-two years of operation in a iavüred pait of Ontario. The news is startling on the surface, and suggests the menace o! changing conditions in this changing age. The grounids at Bowrnanville have been sold to meet obligations. and there seems no prospect of early revival. Fortunately the experience of L Bowmanville is unusual. and there is . no reason for serîous anxiety over ithe institution known as the -great fail fair," which bas played a great part in agricultural progress and soc- ial lif e in Ontario. Every year sees suspensions and revivals owing to conditions which are usually temp- orary. For several years past there has been considerable rainy weather in September and October. and when this occurred on the day set for a local fair, the result was disastrous. A f ew years of this experience wipes out the resources of such an insti- tution, and suspension follows. In other cases the hard-working officiais 3who usually gîve much time for no financial return. grow weary o! their task. and if there are no successors ravailable. the fair goes out of busi- iness. Perhaps in a year or so new jofficers are foundl and the old enter- cprise cornes to life again. 1 Those who have studied the fair -situation in the Province as a whole Lf cel littIe anxlety for the future. While Chatham, Brockville. Bow- manville and Kemptville are sus- pendlng this year. Cornwall has re- vived. Several amalgamations have occurred. and the general use of motor cars has greatly wldened the radius from which a fair may at- tract visitors. There bas been a faUing off in the horse dprmn Iof mnany f airs, owing to the adoption o f motor equlpment on farmns. but it is said the displays of farm products and womnen's work have shown im- provement. Ontario agriculture has been f os- tered for over a century by the f rlendly contests of faîl fairs. andý leaders of opinion in aIl parts of the province should consider it a dut y to support these enterprises that they may continue and make headway as progress is made in other branhe of Canadian life. WHAT IS STEWARDSHIP? Stewardship is not a matter of giv- ing more money, or of being more generous, or of raising a budget.i Stewardship is an acceptance of one's' personal responsibility to use the right share of anything we possess-- time. talent, property. skill-for the Kingdom 0of God. It is not a mat- ter of being more generous; it is a matter of rigbtly dividing one's in- corne with our Partner Christ. It it a matter of placing God first in our 11f e. He must flot be gîven our left-over dollars. the fag-ends of our strength. the remnants of our time. The first and rightful share of these miust be set aside for Hîm -W. H. Deni!ýon.
