There apparently is consider- able opposition by local politi- cians and others to the formation of the new school unit to include both Northumberland and Dur- ham. This has been recommended by the Province which is using the County basis for setting up the new area units. Reeve Foster of Clarke voiced his opposition to both Northum- berland and Durham being estab- lished as a single school unit. He favours the establishment of two units, one for each of the Count- tes. Reeve Foster states that the United Counties would be tooe large and unwieldy, Members of local councils, pub- lie school boards and the High 'School Boards have been invited to the meeting which will be held on Friday.

Hees ees Trudeau On Inside Track Justice Minister Pierre Tru- deau would appear to have the in- side track if he decides to enter the race for the leadership of the Liberal party, George Hees, MP for Northumberland, said in an interview Friday. Mr. Hees said the justice min- ister at the present time is cre- ating a lot of interest, and, one of the strongest things in his favour, he is creating that interest in parts of Canada other than the Province of Quebec. "I think he would get the over- whelming support of the Quebec delegates," Mr. Hees said. This coupled with the support of other centres which seems apparent, could possibly mean a victory. "It would be far easier to judge the national feeling rather than the feeliigs of a group of picked delegates," he cautioned, Another factor in favour of Mr. Trudeau is the appearannce of generating far more interest than any of the other contenders in the race, the Northumberland MP added. Mr. Hees said the justice min- ister is creating an interest be- cause of his ability to make up his mind "and to state his case as he see it without looking be- hind every bush for a political difficulty." "The thing most lacking in the federal cabinet today is the abil- ity to make a decision." "This man has taken a number et issues and has been able to make his decision and state his opinion without hesitation." Mr. Hees said he did not think the cause of separation would be strengthened with the election of Mr. Trudeau as Liberal party leader. "I think everybody engaged in this contest has voiced himself solidly against separatism, includ- ing Pierre Trudeau," he added., along with a bank loan of $5500. However it is estimated that an amount of $5757. is receivable from the various governments in respect to the operation of the fair in 1967. Revenue during the year a- mounted to $22,275.03 from grants, donations, admissions, rare entries, concessions, sale of ad- vertising, materials and land te Consumers Gas, and a slight bank balance. Expenditures amounted to $22,313.29. Of this amount $7383.95 was paid out in prize money, $5112.90 for general it- ems of a capital nature, $461.43 for attractions, $3683.85 for main- tenance and operation, $2250.00 for harness racing and $520.00 for prize expenditures. Prize mon- ies for 1967 expenditure was $1000.00 above that of 1966. Mrs. Rickard pointed out that with regard to the monies spent on capital improvements the year had been most successful financially. Mr. William Slater reported on the District Fair convention and stated that one item of interest is the trend to less but larger fairs. He felt that the local board should keep this in mind when planning their annual exhibition as the fair in Orono under the Durham Central Agriiultural So- ciety could very well become the County or Central Fair for the district. He felt that the move would be made in the next few years. The many reports submitted to the meeting were of a satisfact- ory enature. Somefdepartments noted that space for exhibiting theirtentriesawas ata premium and that greater space was really required. Mention was made of the new cattle classification and Mr. J. Rickard felt that this had some bearing on the fact that the beef show was one of the best with some twenty herds repre- sented in the beef division. Mr. Carlos Tamblyn, in report- ing for the Holstein section, re- quested that the fair board con- sider constructing cattle ties un- der cover as in Port Perry. He stated that the local Durham Hol- stein Association was willing to assist financially if necessary. Mr. George Carson, manager of the Fair, was given authority to again hold the Durham Central Colt Stake in 1968. Delegates to the Ontario convention were ap- pointed. The President recommended that the Association consider the awarding of Service Diplomas to those who have taken an active part in the promotion of the fair. It was moved that such a polcy be set-up and that the president and vice-presidents be a commit- tee to make the arrangements. As directorsand efficers hold office for a two year period there was no election of officers other than the appointment of Messrs. M. J. Tamblyn and W. S. Moffat to the Honorary Directors.
