1W '-77.W < Orono Fair Plans are under way Plans are well under way for the staging of many i 'esting events at Durham Central Fair to be held in Orono September 5, 6, and 7. Mrs. S. MacLean of Hamp- ton, attended a Directors meeting last Wednesday to inquire about bringing a Goat Exhibit. There are four diff- erent breeds of goats in Canada and she would bring one of each kind. When the Board felt that this would be a good ' exhibit to have in connection with "Old MacDon ald's Farm," she said she might be able to bring a couple of Kids. She said she might also bring some goats milk. So try some! Mr. Gordon Barrie, speak- ing for the Milk Committee, said that they had not planned a Dairy Princess Competition this year, but one girl is quite interested so they decided they would try to have it. If they receive at least three entries the competition would be held at Orono Fair, on Friday September 6th. This would add great interest as the girls must show their skill and speed at milking a cow and cleaing the machine and must also give a short speech. Entrants should be girls between 17 and 26 years of age, and single. Each con- testant would receive $50.00 and the winner would com- pete in the Diary Princess Competition at the C.N.E. next year. Entries should be sent to the Agricultural Representative's Office in Bowmanville, as soon as possible. A new stage has been built and varied musical entertain- ment will be given. Thursday evening. after the Air Show, "The Flora-Doras" a ladies comedy group will present a concert. There will be music between races Friday night. Whitby Brass Band will play on Saturday and the well known Harry Hibbs will put on a show Saturday. Improvements- are being made in the arena and there will be many interesting displays and exhibits there. We will let you know of other attractions later so keep those dates open for - ORONO FAIR - SEPTEMBER 5, 6, and7.

Mr. Jure has been given responsibility for co-ordinat- ing the new program.

The new program hopes to amal- gamate them into 12 tourist regions. Participation is vol- untary, but increased grants are used as an incentive. The maximum grants each council could hope for from the province under the old system gave the seven coun- cils who make up the Central Ontario region a maximum potential of $70,000. If they had not agreed to combine their efforts under the regional scheme they would have had all provincial grants cut off.
