^ ,' TfiUTH BEFORE FAVOR." PRINCIPLED NOT MEN. 1 W34 No. 11 Flestierton, Ont., Thursday, September IO IQ14 W. H, THDBSTOM KDITOB aud I'l.O East Grey Fair Is Withdrawn A week or so ago the government sent out a notification to agricultural societies to the effect that owinir to the war HQ government judges would be sent out this j'ear mid the^ government grant would be cut in half fo next year. ,The Drpartment expresse-i lie hope that the directorates would act "w : sely" under these circumstances. As a result of tin's communication the direct-irs of East (Jrey fair decided on Monday t vening _to trim tail in order to weathei ihe cornice squall by withdrawing the fair this year. All members will be euriied over in good standing for next year and the prize lists, which have already been forwarded to members, will hold good for next year and should be carefully preserved. East Grey fair is not alone in this matter, us some ftirs announced three weeks ago that owing to conditions they would withdraw their fain this year, and it is expected that after receiving the government announcement many others will do likewise. This decision has not been reached through any present financial stress, but simply as a safeguard for the future wel- fare of the society and with a view to making next year's show a greater success than ever before. The directors "will work to that end and hupe for the en- courageinemand co-operation of members uml the general public.
