saturday when another big georgetown fair was gree ted with perfect weather the fair now has an unbroken string of over eleven years of good weather for the an nual show saturday was the best yet just cool enough lots of sunshine and it drew people out ir greater num bers than any other year with the exception of the cen tennial in 1946 the turnstile clicked merrily all after noon and chalked up almost 3000 paid admissions plus the hundreds of school children and exhibitors who have free passes to the show everything was perfect a merrygoround and an airplane ride plus pony rides pleases the kiddies there was the usual pink fuzz candy balloons and nov elties to buy the lions club operated a bingo plus a fortune wheel with the hockey club making up some of the seasons deficit with another game of chance nearby several local organizations operated refresh ment booths including st georges choir st johns 5050 club the girls pipe band and st albans guild the hall exhibits were of better quality and more tastefully arranged than any we can remember particu larly pleasing was a new idea in school exhibits this year instead of a large volume of individual exhibits each spade at the school had worked on a mural display display and the results were most pleasing one grade had taken mexico as their study another had worked on the theme of wildflowers still another told the story of laura secord while the entrance class had a true work of art in an illustrated map of the town this was we believe an improvement on former displays and had more general appeal to the public at large flowers were another noteworthy section ladies work was on a par with its usualexcellence while the domestic science classes were crammed with a record number of entries so numerous have these displays become that it will be necessary next year for the fair board tp provide more display cases and more hall space there were some disappointments of course the junior farmers grain show once one of the halls chief features had a very small entry grain and vegetables in general did not draw enough entries and had it not been for a few exhibitors who made many entries this section world have been a complete flop the horse show was down somewhat in entries though still a first class show cattle classes were big and were perhaps the outstanding part of the livestock section along with the poultry show there were some good entries in sheep but swine were not plentiful the baby show has established itself as a permanent feature of the fair and therewas plenty of excitement around the tent as the judges weighed the merits of the babies entries in mcg pet and novelty contest weie disappointedly small and there is some question whether the sponsors will be prepared to go on with it another year too bad for it is a novelty which draws crowd support and we cannot understand why more chil dren do not enter the show all in all it was a good fair and everyone is satis fied there is money in the treasury to pay off the prize list in full and with such a public response directors are encouraged to plunge into plans for another year ville paper has gone so far as to foolishly declare that the town should become separated from the county for all the town gets for their county rates is a jail and a few county offices what the solution is no one seems to know if the county assessor has done his job anywhere near proper- ly there should be no glaring errors in the new system if each local assessor has done an honest job of assess ing within hisiunicipality then everything should be nearperfect and there can be no cause for argument at least there are figures to back up their story allow ing for the fact that some of the valuing must rest in the assessors

harmony among ourselves we are all too prone to argue among ourselves as indivi duals as families and as municipalities right up to countries and races at present another municipal battle is shaping up in halton over the new assessing system for years trouble brewed every year in county council when the question of splitting county costs came up for review we wuz robbed became the pop way for any eounty cuuiic to speak or his home territory and it was seldom that any town or township thought they were getting a square deal a few years ago the government devised a new standard form of assessing which in theory is as per fect as can be obtained it provides a yardstick for mea suring all types of property within a municipality with a county assessor to correlate the parts jn to one whole considerable money has been spent in hiring and train ing assessors the new system made assessing a fulltime job and in administration finally this year all mun icipalities had completed their assessments and county council passed a complete new cost splitup which pncndall animosities x happens oakyille and burlington immed- begui battling in the south end of the county ftbtown expresses
