PORT PERRY FAIR THE BEST FAIR IN MANY YEARS "Good Showing of Stock Builditig for Exhibits the Centre of Attraction Port Perry Fair has taken on a new lease of life. Everybody was delighted with the improvements made at the Fair Grounds. A suitable cattle shed has been erected, extra space was made for sheep (of which there was a very big showing) and the stables have been improved. Perhaps the most notable improvement was made in the building for small exhibits. The arrangements here are most pleasing. It is a great treat to be rid of the flapping, saggy tents with their mud floors and wobbly sides. As the years pass other improvements will be made. We al- ready have power in the building, and a movement is on foot to put running water in the cattle sheds and stables. The exhibits were first class. Owing to the dry spell there is a shortage of fruit; but the showing was pretty fair. Flowers, too, were at a disadvantage; but Mr. Will Dyer, of Columbus, came up with a display of gladiolus that would have been the envy of exhibitors at Toronto Fair. We have seldom, if ever, seen a better display. In Domestic Science, Ladies' Work, etc., the entries were numerous and good. Naturally, we cannot give a full account of the Fair this week; but the day was fine and at the time of writing there was promise of a good attendance. Port Perry Fair is not strong on "Midway" but it is carrying out the purpose for which Fairs were established and for which they receive grants from the Government and the municipalities.--The exhibits are the main part of the fair. The sheep entries were largest ever exhibited. About one hundred and forty animals were shown, and they were of good quality. In cattle the stalls were all filled, and any farmer might be proud to own such stock. The same might me said'of horses, pigs and poultry. : Much interest centres about the girls' soft ball tournment. The contestants were Columbus, Greenbank, Blackstock, Scugog. Scugog carried off the honours winning the Durant Cup presented through the courtesy of the Standard Garage. Blackstock stood second in the contest. Horseshoe pitching is intensely interesting to its devotees. There were a good number of contestants in the tournament, and Roy McLaughlin and Anson Taylor, of Cartwright won first in doubles, and the I. R. Bentley Cup. These lads are very good players, and held up their end with seasoned men. The other prize, winners in doubles were Norman Whitney and son Cecil, second; with Glenville and West, third. In singles the winenrs were: first Anson Taylor, second Albert West, and third Russell McLaughlin. Lacrosse offered a new form of entertainment here. many years since the game was played in Port Perry. The ex- hibition game was staged between Port Perry and Brooklin, the latter winning with a score of 6-3. Brooklin had a heavier team their money. A ni feature of this Fair was the exhibits made by local business men. Lumber Company, all made nice displays. The Oshawa Lumber Co. had a lucky number draw for a neat garage, and Mr. James Ewen was the fortunate winner. The trials of speed for horses were much enjoyed by horse lovers. There was a 2.20 trot and a green race. The Port Perry Band were on hand and produced a fine pro- gram of music. ~The prize | Bist will. be published in our next issue. ¢ = BEGINNING AT HOME Much is being written about the unemployment situation--it looms above all other problems to be faced in Canada to-day. The best way to solve it is to begin at home. All of us have jobs about our premises that need to be done-- repair jobs, painting, decorating, small building. Every muni- cipality has work that should be undertaken to save greater ex- penditure in the future. Our trouble in Canada, as elsewhere, is that we are looking to the Government to do some big thing, when what is most needed is that we shall do our best to give all our local people as much work as we can find for them to do. Suppose the Government does spend $20,000,000 for relieving the unemployment situation, who will get relief ? In many cases it will be the Italian laborer. Our Canadians are not building roads, putting in docks, digging canals, erecting lighthouses-- most of the work is being done by specially trained Italian labor. Incidentally these Government works will help, as every new piece of work affects other industrial projects, and overseers, time- keepers, banks, stores, all gain. But the fact remains that the happiest and most effective way of meeting the situation will be to begin at home. One fiine suggestion has been made-- that we engage unem- ployed people to destroy weeds. This idea is practical. Weeds are are a menace and a disgrace. They should be eradicated. Any unemployed person (who is willing to work) can help to destroy them. They clutter up our vacant lots and lower their value. They di8figure our roads. They destroy our crops. If bonuses can be given to farmers for the erection of wirefences to help keep our roads clear of snow, why not give grants to keep our farms clear of weeds? Those of us who paint our properties, by saving the surface will save all; if we make repairs, we shall find that a stitch in time will save nine; if we instal necessary equipment, we shall put our- selves in a position to meet competition that will be more keen as the years pass; if we improve our homes, we shall prolong the lives Prompt payment of subscriptions will be much appreciated ee -- . of those we love, and who love us. meet the unemployment situation SEAGRAVE The friends of Mrs. A.
