for tuesday and wednesday of next week always striving to make each years fair greater than the past has put acton foremost among the rural fairs of the province and today it occupies a high ranking when rural fairs are under discussion this year has proven that same desire uppermost of pro viding its patrons witli an outstanding event from president waldie right down through the completo set of officers enthusiasm and work for acton fair has occupied more than leisure moments the past few months and next week they have ready for presentation events that they feel will mark 1031 as another year of suscess in the fair annals on every side they have met with encouragement in their efforts and now at this date with the final prepara tions taking place it would seem that with fine weather prevailing acton fair would strike a new high level in all departments it is a community work that is remunerated only by a satisfaction of a duty well performed but around acton none will sav that rural fairs are decreasing in popularity and the event next week is eagerly anticipated by residents of a wide area always advancing in one of our exchange last week we noted an item declaring that local new was scarce owing to the fact that the canadian national exhibition was occupying flic limelight there arts in acton many local happenings in spite of the exhibition but it is undoubtedly the centre of attraction ust at this time on three different occasions since its opening the editor hits had the privilege of attending this great event this year so we can readily coincide with the statement that the fair is occupying much attention one wnrfders that each year it proves such a magnet as many of the things shown are l repetition of previous years but in any visit in any year this great fair has never failed to give of something new and make thu visit advantageous if the exhibition had done nothing more this year than bring to canada the famous st hildas band from england it would have achieved a notable accomplishment to lovers of music this band of musicians has been a rare treat and a marvel when its achievement with all brass instruments as compared with the hands of reed and brass nmkeup every day st hildas band have played to applauding crowds from the main band stand but the exhibition does not cater to only lovers of music and at this great show every person can seemingly find that which is of interest to him or her in its growth and development it seems to have catered to all classes it seems but a few years since a crowd of 100000 people on labor day taxed the grounds to capacity and yet this year 230000 were there on that single day and it was possible to enjoy many features although thu midway was not attempted a frame building on tho northwest side of the grounds that was one of the centres of at traction known as the machinery hall a few years ago is now used for nothing but storage purposes the horses are housed in a palatial building and gone are the old sheds where it was inconvenient to view this part of the show wherever one went the growth and improvement is seen every year thi- programme of progress uaist be the reason for the interest this event occasions each year it is seem ingly this that makes many feel that they must attend and get enjoyment in face of things that mav seem to be there each year perhaps this is the excuse for the three visits of the editor in one year if the scheme hi to function the announcement last week by hon w g martin minister of public welfare that the ontario government would make a saving of 150000 or more us ti result of the recent provincewide inspec tion into the old age pension system reveals that many abuses must have been perpetrated ontario has 30000 pensioners which is more than all tho other provinces combined following the investiga tion pensions have peen cancelled and reduced many instances and thousands of dollars have been refunded to the governments the old age pensions were primarily instituted to help the aged folk who were in need of assistance in declining years it regrettable that there has crept in that spirit of trickery and means been employed to secure pensions that arc not deserving and have been proven fraudu lent such methods will only tend to deprive deserv ing cases of this help that was inaugurated for the relief of want and distress canada cannot stand the financial strain of providing for individuals who have means of their own for support but does not desire to witness age in distress and poverty the checking up of the government is to bo commended a constant checking of the pensions would he advis able and a strict scrutiny of all ciises to see that only the deserving ones arc included in the scheme kd1tokial notes
