For the first time in many years the Society was reported to be out of debt. Six years ago the "indebtedness of the Fair Board was over $1300. By dirt of careful financing and persistent effort the Fair has been lifted out of finan- cial trouble. In addition, there has been a general improvement made at the Fair Grounds. A building" has beer: placed on the grounds for the housing of small exhibits ,and through co-operation with the sporting men of the town, the grounds have been put into good shape for baseball and similar events, While there has been united effort on the part of the directors of the Fair, it is but right to give large credit to Mr, Norman Ewers for the good results. obtained, He has worked steadily to balance the budget, and to put- into operation improved methods of handling exhibits. Other improvements are. contem. plated, and it is hoped that the Fair will continue to grow in the direction for which country fairs are carried on, ard subsidized by the Government and other public bodies. While it is true that Port. Perry cannot compete with the larger fairs in the matter of "at- tractions", a good reputation has been gairied for the excellence of the ex- hibits, and for the treatment accorded to the public and the exhibitors by the directors. . This year the Fall Fair will be held 'on Tuesday and Wednesday Septem- ber 14 and 16. = The following is the result: in the election of officers for the current year, A "Officers and Committees for 1937 Hon.

Sinclair, : Who Support the Fair, In 1936 the Directors of the Port Perry Fair decided to limit exhibits to the products of Ontario County. This was done purely as a matter of business on the basis of support. The secretary had taken the trouble to make a record of the givings and re- ceipts of the various municipalities ir: connection with Port Perry Fair, The following figures, covering a period from 1982 to 1936 inclusive are illumi- "in the University of Manitoba's Students' Union that they forced : nating. : authorities to drape the beautiful statue with a wrap of cheese- | ~ & cloth. It may be a serious matter in Winnipeg, but it was a mix- a | in floth OE Ae and anger to Toronto boi i queried last night. ZT | "Is this a jest?" Sir Wyly Grier, asked, "Why, it is the most 4° modest statue in the world, She has more clothes than lots of women in evehing dress. A lot of nonsense." Have they no re- spect for art?' Florence Wilde, well-known Sculptress, wanted to 'know. 'How rediculous they were, They would destroy spiritual Harri " 1 ey I would say. Those women who protested are much "What next?" asked a prominent painter. "Stuff: y vulgar, it seems to me, than the public they seek to protect." : In the period mentioned Ontario Courty gave to Port Perry Fair, $1160, and there was paid to exhibit- ors within the County $1424.25, Reach Township paid $390 and re- ceived in prizes $732. : . Scugog Township paid $130 and re- ceived in prizes $114. Port Perry paid $1272 and received in prizes $418, Fair, and received $205.60. Durham and Northumberland gave nothing and exhibitors received $317. Other outside places gave nothing and received in prizes $167. Under the circumstances it was felt that while the Directors did not wish Port Perry Fair to become too small in its outlook, yet consideration must be given to local exhibitors who sup- port the Fair. . Sometimes ar: outsider has come in and. taken all the prizes in certain classes, as he has made a specialty of this exhibit and in some sense be- comes a professional. Reach & Scugog Agricultural Society The following interesting record was secured by Mr. Fwers from the fyles of the North Ontario Observer, regarding the operations of the Fair Board in 1865, { The paper was dated Prince Albert, Thursday, March" 23rd, 1865, Vol. 8, No, 11, DiS The Board of Directors of the above Society met at the rere House at Manchester, on Saturday last.

Stonehouse and E. Major, directors. , On motion of Wm, Scott, seconded by E. Major,, the Board proceeded to make out the prize list for the Spring Fair. : A number of alterations from the prize list of last year were made, the most important of which was that the grain, seeds and potatoes obtaining the prizes at the Spring Fair should hereby "become the property of the Society, and: be gold"at"auction tothe highest" bidder. Of courge the prizes awarded to those articles are sufficient to pay the producer a high price for them, in addition to the usual prize. It was also provided that hut one prize in---each variety of grain, seeds, po- tatoes, and implements,: would be awarded to a single individual or firm. E. Walker, seconded by C. Dawes, moved that the Spring Fair of this soclety be held at the Village of Epsom, on Tuesday, the 26th day of April. Carried, A. Gordon, seconded by R. Dobson, moved that the Fall Fair be held at Manchester. Laid over. A number of competent persons, outside of the township, were .then selected as Judges for the Spring Falr, ! W. Scott seconded by C. Dawes, moved that the printing required by this society for the present year, be obtaired from Messrs, Parsons and Robinson. Carried, La A resolution was passed limiting the time for receiving entries to 10 .| o'clock on the morning of the Fair. Parties residing in remote portions of the Township can make entries with the Secretary, by post, at any time previous to the Fair, . The Board adjourned to meet at Cragg's Hotel, Epsom, at 9 o'clock on the morning of the Fair, ---------- > Pine Grove Cemelery Company Meeting: The 76th annual meeting of the Ontario. Pine Grove Cemetery Co. was held in. the Basement of the Public Library on Monday afternoon, Jan. 18, with 16 persons present.

The advisability of building a chapel was thoroughly discussed ard while all agreed it was certainly needed, there being no place of shelter for anyone waiting for a funeral, it was deemed unwise to borrow money to build, when the income did not meet the ordinary expenses and upkeep of the grounds. ' The main: source of income is the money paid by the plot owners for the care of their lots, and when this is neglected the directors are handi- capped. Great credit is due the committee and caretaker for the splendid work they have done and for the fine condition of the grounds.

Elected County Warden Ontario Th@.battle for the Wardenship of Ontario County was a lengthy one. In the first place, the new rules of procedure (passed at the November session of the County Council) were declared inoperative so far as secret voting is concerned. In the next place it was dicovered that Pickering and East Whitby were each entitled to two extra votes as they each had over 3000 municipal electors. law. .So the open voting began. Somebody had been studying the The names of the members of the County Council were placed in a con- tainer that looks something like a small tin churn. The container 1s closed and revolved. and the names arestaken out one by one. Then it is opened, As each name is announced, the Councillor named announces for whom he votes to be Warden. There are no nom- inations and no nomination speeches. Six times this ceremony had to be performed be- fore any of the four contestants could gain the four- teen votes necessary for a majority. The contestants were L. Gifford (East Whitby); J. E. MacDonald (Broci); W. M. Letcher (Port Perry); H. J. Feather- ston (Rama), In the first three votes it looked as if anyone mjght win. Then the contest b gan to narrow down to one between Letcher and Gifford, with Letcher as the final victor. Mr. Letcher was duly chair, where he donned the tion of office. escorted to the Warden's robe and took the declara- The Warden then addressed the Council, thanking his supporters for the honour conferred upon him. He said that it would be a pleasure to serve under any of his opponents--but not this year. The other men who had entered the contest had by public service shown themselves to be of good character and ability. Mr. Letcher concluded his address by asking co-operation from all the Councillors, so that the work of the County Council might be made effective for the bene- fit of the ratepayers of Ontario County. x On Mr. Letcher's return home on Tuesday evening, he was serenaded by the Port Perry Band. The following are the clauses of the Municipal Act which made the change irr the proposed method of. voting necessary. Section 213 of Municipal Act.
