It shows every indication of being the greatest day for the young people of the rural areas around Oshawa yet staged at any Oshawa Fair. The Oshawa Kiwanis Club, which co-operates with the South Ontario Agricultural Society in sponsoring the Junior Section of the Fair, had donated generous prize money for that section, and is organizing some of the import- ant events. First on the list of events for the Junior Farmer Day are the Achievement Days of the Oshawa Kiwanis Grain Club and the Osh- awa Kiwanis Dairy Calf Club, in in which the Ontario and Federal Departments of Agriculture will also contribute to the prize money. These two clubs, have had a very act've season, and the boys and girls will be on hand to show their ca' entries and also to display | the oats which they have grown. | special feature of these club | achievement days is that the boy or girl standing highest in each of | these two clubs will receive a sc'iarship award of $17.50 donated | ed by the Dominion Bank, to fi- | nance a one week's short course at 12 Ontario Agriculture College. ral special prizes are offered airy breed associations for the | club. | addition to the calf club class- | there will be classes for Junior | mers in livestock, grain, po- | 'oes, fruit and vegetables, all of | 2 will be on exhibition in the | r section of the fair. a'n there will be a trac- | afe driving competition, open | ¢ the 3rooklin Junior | Club.

There will also be a section for exhibits and displays for Junior Institute Girls, in which they will present for competition their en- ries in sewing, domestic science, flowers and art. All these competitions are limit- ed to young farm people under 25 years of age. With these new features, inter-| est in the Junior Section of the Oshawa Fair should reach a new high mark this year, and should bring in a large number of peo- ple from the surrounding district. Fair Special Womens Section The Women's Building at the Oshawa Fair this year promises to provide the greatest array of exhibits seen for many years. An active group of women directors has been busy for weeks seeking |entries in the many classes for needlecraft, handicrafts, canning and breaking, and their work has produced excellent results. In the needlecraft section of the prize list, there are seven classes for infants' wear, six classes for ladies' wear, five classe for men' wear, for household linens, 10 classes for domestic needlecraft, eight classes for Euro- pean craft needlework, a new class this year, and 12 miscellaneous classes for hobbies and craft work. In the canned fruit and baking department, there is a great var- iety of classes for competition. Pickles, canned fruit and veget- ables, jams and jellies, bread rolls, cakes, pies, all provide house- wives with great opportunities to demonstrate their culinary skill. In addition to these open classes, the women's building will also house the exhibits of the Women's stitutes of the district, these classes being open to any Institute in the counties of Durham and On- tario. Several classes in cooking and needlework are provided for W. I. members.
