A record-breaking crowd of 38.099 people swarmed throu- gh the gates of Alexandra park last weekend for the 67th edition of Oshawa Fair. Among them was Hon.

Society president Joe SnoWden told the Times Wednesday he bas set Sept. 14 as the deadline for submission of relocation sug- gestions. He said the board will meet before the end of September and decide defin- itely where it is going. Originally the minister of government services sug- gested that the fair move to government owned land in Whitby near the psychiatric hospital. However, Mr. Snow- den says when the minister attended the fair Friday he was suggesting the boys' training school in Bowman- ville.

Ail of the women's building exhibitors were local Oshawa people, she says, and most of the saddle horses were owned by Oshawa resid- ents. Mr. Snowden said the board would still be interested in keeping the fair in the city if a suitable location can be found. He expressed an interest in discussing that possibility with local officials. WANTS MEETING "We definitely would like to meet the mayor," said Mr. Snowden. "I don't know if it is a lack of communication or what, but despite the mayor's many statements through the press he bas never invited us to sit down with him." The record attendance this year proves, according to Mr. Snowden, that¯Oshawa needs a fair. "No 'matter what a handful of local politicians may say, 38,000 people can not be wrong", be commented.' NORTH OR WEST "But we've been advised not to move east," says Mr. Snowden. He says the board still hopes to move a little bit west of Whitby, or maybe a bit north, but not east. The board bas named William Reid of Ashburn, chairman of relocation. Mr. Snowden says Oshawa Fair, which bas operated in Alexandra Park as a Class B show, will be "definitely a Class A show when we move." He said word bas already come down from the province's central fair author- ity to upgrade the classificat- ion of Oshawa Fair next year. Mrs. Evelyn Brown, secret- ary-treasurer of the fair board, said Oshawa Fair, the biggest and most important in the Region of Durham, is the only fair in the region which received no financial assist- ance from its local council. Mayor Rickard last week was asking the viewpoint of local residents to having the Oshawa and the Durham Fair 20 70OFF Children's Wear All children's summer dresses, sun dresses and slack suits are on sale now.

Although Mayor Rickard stated he is only interested in the views of the people and that amalgamation would be up to those connected with the two fairs he has been a open proponent of the proposal to open the land north of Bowmanville for the two fairs with a view of making it a regional fair.
