For the majority of the people, this was their first oppor- tunty to see and hear Canada's illustrious leader. The train carrying Mr. St. Lau- rent was due at 11:20 and long tefore ths time a steady stream of traffic was wending its way down to the station. The Orono Band was present which helped to make it an even more thrilling occasion. Lack of time prevented Mr. St. Laurent from giving a speech, but he did 'inform the crowd of his pleasure at beng able to see and speak to them, if only for a few Ulster United Football Star Captain Bill Davldson Shown above booting the bal Is Bill Davidson, Captain o! the Ulster United Football Club, To- ronto, for the past ten ycars.

Chai-lie Bagneil, waited for the arrivai o! the afternoon train going west. It was an ordin- ai-y sight save for the large crowd which gathered ta, wonder how the 6ft. high, boxed belt mailu- !actured hy Goodyear-Bowman- ville couid lie moved from truck to train. The sign on the outside said "2100 lbs. net." How many men would it take to shift the great weight? How long would the train lie heid up? were the questions asked. Just wait and see, smiled Chai-lie. The train arrived, the truck was backed to the door o! the express car. The blocks were removed and the circular "pack- age" was roiled easily into the car. The train pulled out on time. It ail looked so simple; but one careless slip and the huge box would rail or topple with great danger to the small crew working under the careful directions o! Mr-. Bagneli wha has had over 30 years experience at his job. But, said Chai-lie, this one was only pint size. Some time ago I had one that weighed 5300 Ibs. It was no troub- le at ail. The express charges, $535 aiso guaranteed safe delivery. Just ail in the day's work? Well we backed to a safe distance ta watch how easy it was, didn't ev- en offer ta help.

Final Plans For Rotary Fair Outlined at Friday's Dinner Features Al-mStar Soccer Past President Forbes Heyland was again chairman of the Rotary Club meeting in the Balmoral Ho- tel, Friday, since President How- ard Rundle and his Rotary con- tingent have flot reported back from the Rotar-y International Convention heid in New York City.

Finishing off a hasty dessert, many made a hasty exit to leave only the usual faithful quorum to iron de- tails o! the Fair. Punch LUnes Sparking the cross-fire of ques- tions and answers, President Elect Walt DeGeer and Frank Jamieson, manager of this year's carnival, delivered pungent, hard-hitting, admonitions that the help of every member of the club was needed to make the affair worthy of pub- lic support. The youngèr members were warned to take on the burden of the necessary work to be done to get everything in ship-shape for what is hoped to be the best show ever'put on by the club. Publicity Manager Ted Morris, with cus- tomai-y calmness, toid of arrange-j ments already made to advertise) the Fair thoroughiy throughout1 the neighbouring counties.
