Several agricultural meetings in Toronto on the same date cut the membership present to 18 but despite this several pleasing reports* were heard including a réview by -Fred 1942. The Board of Directors were elected for 1953 but the completion of the new slate of officers was left until the next meeting. President Christie reported that the 1952 Fair had gone over the hest of any he had to do with and the largest crowd in many years. The weather was ideal, the exhibits were good and well filled, a good showing almost in every. line, a hig Midway and a big crowd. He had heard many fine com- ments on the Fair-and especially on the big improvement that the new Gates had made. He thanked all who had helped with the Gates, the Busi- ness Men for their share in them and especially mentioned the amount of work that J, C. Love had done toward having them built. Recommends New Grandstand He reported on what had been done about repairing the Grandstand which needs 'a new roof.. The wind has twisted the whole roof framework in such a way that it will have to be rebuilt before another roof can be put on: Now that there is so much Base Ball played in the Grounds, they could 'be declared and organized as a Community Park and the Province would give a grant up to a maximum clined to accept for another year due of $6,000 towards a Grandstand or a bleacher, but they, do not give Grants toward repair work. It is expected that a Committee of the Corporation, the Business Men and the Fair Board will be investigating the matter very soon. "We not only need the present Grandstand but could do with as much more space for the comfort of the on- lookers." Treasurer R. D. Woon's report showed total receipts for the year to be $6, 669.95 and expenditures of $6,- 692.18 with a balance on hand of $2,- 005,04. Taking the net receipts. for the year and deducting the actual ex- penses;--less-any-Capital-expenditure; the Surplus for year is $1,266.33, Board of Directors The 1952 Board of Divectors were returned for 1953 with Fred Lamb, Manchester, taking the place of Ben Smith of Prince Albert who asked to be relieved due to other work inter- fering. A motion was passed by the meeting, expressing appreciation and thanks to Mr. Smith for the many years of good service he had rendered to the Fair and the Fair Board. Mr. Harper was asked to- conduct the election of Officers. . Mr. Christie was the first nomination for Presi- dent. He had enjoyed the 11 years he has served as President but de- to the extra amount of work at home. Ahson Gerrow and Armour MeMil- lan were both nominated but hoth de- clined giving very good reasons. It was getting too near choré-time so it was decided to call another meeting of the Directors as soon as possible to elect the 19568 officers, L./ BRODA'S HOCKEY CLASS POPULAR Everyone but the weatherman is co- operating with the Port Perry Hockey Club in its plan to provide top hockey instructional talent in the person of Walter "Turk" Broads for local min. ors.

Copy be. xi old Savi ~~ There may not be. ap i mw about "There -is No Saw Like An Old Saw' but a certain Scugog carpenter is taking a great deal of 'kidding* recently... This well- known tradesman was the proud owner of a particularly fine saw some time ago... According to the story which has leaked out despite the silence of the gentleman in question, he missed his saw some years ago. This worried the gent- leman somewhat until 'last week -when he suddenly remembered a special job he did ona partition in the Port. Perry High School. He dashed to the school and im- mediately located the spot where he had filled in a doorway in-1961. Looking carefully around to make sure he.had no audience he open- ed a small section of the wall, and reached in. Somehow a small crowd of students assembled for the. momentous occasion. Sure enough right on the spot was the old saw! 'The carpenter retired happy at his find but slightly em- barrased. "I'm glad that fellow didn't turn out to be a surgeon," quipped a local wag, good natur- edly.
