IN DITCH TWICE Dr. Manning, while driving on the 4th line of Clarke skidded into the ditch. Word was sent to Mercer’s Garage for assistance to pull the car onto the road again. A oar was sent out and When the auto was pulled back onto the road, George Middleton drove the doctor’s car to Orono. While driving on Main street south the oar again went to the ditch. A truck coming off a side street onto the highway caused Mid- dleton to put on-the brakes and slid into the ditch just north of Henry Rowe’s residence .and went down, the embankment to the fence. If the fence bad not been there the car would most likely have gone into the park. The occupant and the car es- caped injury.

Their work should 'be placed to the best '.advantage. Drosses should be on the hangers. When the fair is over the directors should go into the hall and see that the exhibits are taken down and made bandy for the exhibitors. You should, after . the fair, congratulate your _ exhibitors and invite them back again. Hon. P. M. Dewan, Minister of Agriculture, intimated that unless, the societies do more for agriculture, they will find that their grants will be less. Friday morning suggestions were mode as follows : There should be more competition between the boys and girls. A sep- arate section should be set aside for this work. The women Should have some way in allotting special prizes where 'they are not specified. Each district ' should hold their own dis- trict meeting. Glass cases or cello- phane should be used for protection of exhibits. Flowers should be dis- played. ini flower stands. Help your district representative by co-opera- ting and1 have him as a director. Have prize lists for boys and girls section. Larger prizes should be given to- the qui-lting section. China painting should foe taken out altogether. Have attractive labels on your fruit jam, Mrs. O’Leary, of Lindsay, Vice Chair]ady, spoke on judges and judg- ing, saying the decision of the judges should be final, and that he or she â- should he in a position to say why the prizes were awarded. Every co- operation should be, given the judges, Ijindsay bad five representatives and the fair was counted the beat in the district. There was a motion made that '$1.00 be paid by every district to carry cm district work. An invitation came ira that; we should hold our district meeting this year in Oshawa in June. Mrs. Mit- chell and. Mrs. OL’aery were again, appointed to rr-presen i the district in June. Instead of having the 1 domestic science and domestic manufacture, etc., separate items they should: be made into one group and. called the home department. Mrs. Cooper 'again1 thanked1 the As- sociation for sending her as represen- tative and. expressed the hope that her report bad been of some benefit to- the (Society. Mr. W. II. Car ni ih ers thanked Mrs. Cooper for her splendid report and suggested that the ladies should organize and appoint some head. So far wo have had no one to call the ladies together. We would be glad to have their co-operation. In con- nection with the field crop it is hard to carry it on here on account of the rules and regulations of the depart- ment. It Is necessary to have 12 entries and we have found it hard to undertake the matter, but we have a committee working on it. Mr. E. A. Summersâ€" “Often our delegate goes; to our convention and doesn’t bring back nearly >as much as Mrs. Cooper has brought back. The seed fair is; being held close to "home this year in Peterboro in March. In reference to junior work I think it would be a, splendid thing to have the directors get behind it and put it aero sb. We hope to have a dairy Calf Club here at Orono Fair. Dur- ing the short course classes held in Orono we had' a seed' judging competi- tion, 250 registered grains were dis- tributed among the hoys. We are doing a good deal among the boys with registered seeds. Ten boys are going to Peterboro to compete with other boys at the Quinte Fair. Orono Fair Board is going ahead every year. Mr. W, II. Carruthers, President of Durham Centra:! Agricul tarai. So- ciety, thanked Mr. E, A. Summers for his co-operation and expressed the regret that last, year Orono Fair clashed with some of the other Coun- ty Fairs. This year we will have things arranged so there won’t be a recurrence of this. We also did' not have the exhibits we had last year on account of the other fairs. Mr. M. Il, Staples said: that as a hoard they were going to make ex- tensive changes' in the fair; -grounds, for instance, moving the grandstand and so on.
