against tfp eria after having visited most of tb fairs in district no 3 this season m was his opinion that georgetown and cooksville fall fairs had made the greatest progress during the past year so said mr j a carroll supt of fall fairs speaking at the annual district meeting held at brampton on saturday mr carroll was loud in his praise of the excellent hall ex hibit at georgetown and in particular the exhibit of the arts and crafts ot georgetown he said organizations of this kind while now showing at bivo or three fairs should be encouraged as he expected that after the war th tourist trade would be ontarios blf industry and tourists would want ther fine arts he hoped to have handi craft groups put on a display at the annual convention of ontario fall fairs to ge held at the king edward hotel in toronto february 789 mr carroll further said that the in creased attendances at fall fairs the past two or three years was due to the fact that people bad more money to spend and that they did what they wanted to do that interest must continue to be fostered in the minds of local citizens so that more and more citizens will want to attend agricul tural fairs and recognize the benefit these shows are to the vicinity in which they are held k centenary grants he explained that the ontario owr- ernment last year donated lj00o to the fall fair association dating back one hundred years or more this honour ent to vankleek hill and richmond with this money these so cieties erected beautiful stone pylons with suitably engraved plaques the speaker thought this a fitting memor ial to the men and women who down through the years had kept these agri cultural societies functioning eleven or twelve associations throughout on tario would reach ther centenaries this year and while he did not know whether the government intended to continue these grants he suggested that if they did each society wholm erect a similar pylon in their com munity with this in mind
