A. Forrester Ro~y C. Forrester - E<ltor and Manager The Fair The Orono Fair, held Iast weekend is 110W past history and is entered in the journals of the society as one that has advanced over that of previous exhibitions. We be- lieve members of the organization are to be eongratulated for the show that was provided at the Orono grounds. The Saturday show was tremendous with plenty of action and excellent exhibits with a wide range of interests. The increase in attendance to the fair this year can certainly be taken as an indication that the faix is winning popularity throughout the nrea. The number of exhibits are also increasing and within the past few years one finds the inclusion of pouItry, rabbits and slueep to the list of ex- hi bits on display. This ail augers well for the local fair. There are stili a few gaps in making the fair a ful two-day show but these are beginning to fi in and with more entertainiment before the grandstand ion Friday after- noon the Orono Fair will become in reality, a two-day fair. May we extend our congratulations to the officers and members of the Durham Central Agricultural Society for their efforts in providing this area with the best fair in the district. Trudeau>s Day In rare deference to econom'y the Canadian Broadcast- ing Corporation pieced together 90 minutes of television film this week recapping the phenomenal risc to political prominence and power of one Pierre Elliott Trudeau. The re-run of the Liberal leadership campaign and convention with a reminder of the trauinatic days which concluded the last session of the Commons presented an appropriate pre- lude in the opening of the new Parliament. For iPrime Minister Trudeau and his colleagues this will be the time of testilng. The leadership campaign, the convention and, the election have been but preliminaries, albeit exciting ones, for the performance begibning today, Thursday. Ail that was portrayed in the CBC production, al that has transpired in thie last six moiths, lhavec.Vreated an anticipation 'for Cenadians perhaps iikniown, before in this country. We've entered a bright new era of Canadian polities. A new generatilon is i command. The prime minister will'make his- debut' in the Com- mons as the leader of a majority government carried on a wave of popularity unmnatched even in the Diefenbaker yca_,,rs. He'li be calledto take up the biard, practical'work of governing. This presents Mr., Trudeau with a consider- able challenge, Initiating bis legisiative program Mr. Trudeau will be faced for the first time as prime minister with the forces of'the 0ppositioti. I is a reduced force but stili presents a potent panel of critics. Mr. Trudeau and his team will be forced to'cope with the criticismns of such veterans as John Diefenbaker. Stanley Knowies and David Lewis. To date the new government has showb both concern and competence in handling the country's business. It will be in the Commons however that democratie 'government ca n reach its finest form. Mr. Trudeau's as yet untried talent in this field wîli set the significant pattern for the new era in Canadian politics.
