Secretary Manager Clifford Krick, a man not given to exag- geration, swears that this is really the best planned fair in many a moon. ""'We have made a great number of changes for the better," he said, "and this year, for sure, there will be something of inter- est for everyone." President Lowrey. Taylor is look- - ing forward to a record attendance and continued interest throughout the three days of the Fair. "We have had one of the largest entries for some time," he said, "'and the good weather will have made it possible for many to bring some- thing to the show who never did before."' "The exhibits make the Fair," he said, "and as this is the chief reason for holding it, we like to and display tables jammed."' On Thursday the grounds will be closed for judging until 7 p.m., when the gates will be thrown open to the public. Dairy classes will start in the show ring at the same _time, and the Midway rides will get under way at once. This is something new at Liskeard, and an inovation that took a lot of ar- ranging. The rides are here by popular demand. Another new feature, is the box- ing show which will start at 8:30 p-m. The card was arranged by Recreation Director Ken Edgar and Dave Paul. As well as making up the show, both will take an ac- tive part. Ken Edgar will referee, and Dave will be one of the principals in the main bout. Dave weighs 175 pounds, and has a boxing. style similar to heavyweight contender Yvon Durelle. This will be his first appearance in the ring in 11 years, but he has been training hard for the event. He will meet Vic Terrazzio of Windsor, a light heavyweight, who has fought at the Palace Pier in Toronto on many occasions. The Kirkland Lake Boxing Club has given an able hand to make this show a success, and some of their boys will be in the ring when the bell goes. The remainder of the card is as follows: 70 pound class--Tom Taylor, 12, of Kirkland Lake vs Bobby Knupp, 12, USAF Radar Base, Ramore. Leightweight--Benny Madill, 17, New Liskeard vs Brian Meany, 19, Kirkland Lake. Middleweight -- Wayne Shortt, 18, New Liskeard vs Harold Meany, 25, Kirkland Lake.
