More attention in future will be given to this department of the Fair. The Fair is to stimulate better development. With this object in view the Fair Board will devote more time and money. The cattle exhibit was not up to the standard. This may be accounted for, as the weather was so bad. More money was placed on this department to induce a larger competition. Something more wiil have to be done to get them interestâ€" ed. of the whole exhibition and _ drew large crowds. Not only was the arâ€" rangement good, but the collection of these pictures in one gallery was a splendid feat. The originator of the idea and the manner in which it was carried out was very fine. Next ‘to this was a collection of war trophies. This was good and the money was given to the Red Cross, soOME OF THE WINNERS In short, this was one of the greatâ€" est fairs ever held here. Next year will see a greater effort to surpass this year‘s. ~Gentlemen‘s Turnoutâ€"ist Sam Hastings, 2nd Charles. Gilbert, 3rd H. C. Tomlin. Farmers‘ Turnoutâ€"ist W. H. Rutâ€" ledge, 2nd Herb.

Great credit is due to those in charge of this tent. The picture collection was one of the finest things Roadstersâ€"Filly or gelding in harâ€" nessâ€"ist F. E. Hopkins, 2nd Thos. Plunkett.

Those who know that all birds do not look alike state that the show was a good one. In another year this building should be brought into closer touch with the others. Many did not see them because they were: a little out of the way. In the horticultural.tent there was a grand display of what can be acâ€" compiished with a little effort. The children‘s exhibit spoke volumes for the work that has been put on them. It was of the highest quality, and was favorably commented upon as people proceeded around. this well and arâ€" tistically arranged tent. Miss Blackâ€" lock of Meadowvale was there with a beautiful display from her gardens. Mrs. Adams had the other corner with a grand display from her gardens. Both of these exhibits were equal to those seen at the Toronto Exhibition. One could spend hours in this tent and it was made even more attracâ€" tive by the music. In the old main building there was a good collection of fancy work. This was arranged a little differently this year and all felt that the change, was good one. It gave all the opportunity of seeing each article in its class. This was much appreciated by the visitors and also by the judge. The art exâ€" hibit was very poor, some of those entering not arriving with their speciâ€" mens. This was also the case in the vegetable section. On account of the wet days the exhibitors were not able to gather in the â€"produce. The cookâ€" ing and foodstuffs were well contested and entriecs were well filled. In this building there were also some ofâ€"our town merchants, wioâ€"made splendid showings. Weston Fair is over for another year. Still, it willlong be rememberâ€" ed as one of the greatest fairs ever held on the Westen grounds, . Phis great achievement was attained by the wonderful coâ€"operation of the indusâ€" tries of the town, the Weston Hortiâ€" cultural Society, the Weston Branch of the Canadian Red/Cross Society, the merchants of the town and the Fair Board. All worked with one obâ€" ject in view, namely, to make Weston Fair a success. This they did despite the weather, which looked, as if it would drown all the great enthusiasm displayed by the various workers. On Wednesday everyone connected with the fair was on his toes getting ready. As usual there was too much left for the last few hours. This was further hanipered by the rain. Still, Friday morning saw the grounds changed. » All roads led to the fair. Tents were erected, the merryâ€"go. round was up and the exhibitors we.rc}\ iwending their way to the grounds. As each one came into the grounds he remarked on the improvement in, the general appearance. Three large tents were to be seen, a new concrete wall graced the entrance, and everything looked like a real fair, As they enterâ€" i ed the first tent they were amazed.‘ There were gathered all the manufacâ€" ‘ turing industries of Weston. Each had a beautiful display of their proâ€" ducts. It spoke of the great developâ€" ment that has taken place in this town. It spoke of the wonderful reâ€" sources that still lie in front of Wesâ€" ton. This is the result of the efforts of some of our citizens, who have spent time and mohney to bring these industries into the limelight. It was a revelation to many of our own peoâ€" ple to have this great exhibition preâ€" sented. All took great pains to have their displays a credit. The C. C. M. had their Toronto exhibit in part, yet they did not outdo the other displays, all of which showed up to remarkâ€" able advantage. The Moffat display of stoves, the Macinnes electrical disâ€" play, Canada Lumber, Gibson, McCorâ€" mack & Irvin lumber displays, Le Grand‘s harness, Burgess furnaces, Cruickshanks‘ waggons and Longâ€" staff‘s pumps, were all there with splendid exhibits. All deserve credit for their enterprise. It means much to all concerned. COâ€"OPERATION BRINGSâ€" SUCCESS Lady Driver AT WESTON FAIR 1 yearâ€"ist_ Wmm B. Lansdale. 2 yearsâ€"1st F. E. WwWEST YORKS NEWSY WEEKLY The question of appointing a fuel controller was dealt with in response to the letter received from the fuel commissioner. . The council felt that as the situation was being so careâ€" fully and efficiently handled by the dealer, that they could not improve upon it Thus no appointment was made. : The closing of the Weston Road at fair time and the wet days kept a lot of people at home. ‘Itiwas very unfortunate that this road should be torn up after the fine summer weather was past. It means that the old Wesâ€" ton Road will soon become impassable with all the traffic turned that way. Again, the placing of stone on this road at this time means a waste of labor and money. It also means that the tires of autos are badly cut with theâ€"stones as they lie uncovered. A roller ought to be on the road to roll them in. Every year thousands of dollars are wasted in this part of the country on our roads. Sand, gravel and stones are dumped in piles on secâ€" tions. Little or no attempt is made to have these properly rolled in or even levelled off. Rains soon wash off the work and the road is no betâ€" ter in the spring. Some definite polâ€" icy must be adopted by all councils in the money they expend on these roads. Every dollar must be saved that is possible. Sunday saw the fuel controller‘s reâ€" quest to save gasoline well responded to by the citizens of Weston: All the garages were closed and no gas was sold in the town. No /one used, their cars except on urgent business. In Toronto the order was well cérried out. This speaks volume for the peoâ€" ple of this section.: It means that all are anxious to do all that they can to assist those in power to utilize evâ€" ery possible article for the winning of the war. At Port Credit on Saturday Major Kilpatrick made the statement that there had not been a motor car operated in Germany, for the last three years for pleasure. All were shut down. They are forced to do it. We have only our .own conscience to go by. The response means that our people, when asked to do something and given the reason of the request, are willing to forego pleasure! Again, is it not a grand thing to think that it was possible on this request to have so few motors operated on Sunday? Does it not bring back to our minds the good old Sundays when all went to church? Is it not the call of the nation to a recognition of their God? Let us give up the joyâ€"riding on Sunâ€" day and attend church instead. It will mean more.to tais nation than the saving of gas if this was only done. Try it next Sunday®* Look over the church notices and. arrange to be found in your old place. Dray horse in harnessâ€"ist Gibson McCormack & Irvin, 2nd F. J. Has: sard. d Stallion, 2 yearsâ€"ist \ F.

As the town is liable for damages for any accident, they felt that something should be done to protect the town. Mr. Howell made/application to opâ€" erate a billiard room in the Central Hotel. After much discussion â€" this was granted. The old byâ€"law willâ€" be repealed at the next meeting and the Clerk was instructed to makeâ€"out a new byâ€"law at once. This is anothéer new phase in the life of Weston. If well conducted it is just what is needâ€" ed in the town. The old byâ€"law callâ€" ed for a license fee of $300. It will be changed to read $15. The Mayor was instructed to purâ€" chase a medal and present the same to Mrs. Allen in memory of her son, who was killed in action. A ten minute service is what he reâ€" commends during the rush hour. Three new switches should be put in. More cars should ~beâ€"secured. ~The Toadbed in Weston should be repaired and the. present drains should be, covâ€" ered.. Thus what has been advocated by the town has now been secured. Praise should be given to our council and the solicitor, Mr. Gray, for the manner in which they have secured their victory. It is expected that the change will be made at once, and that all will be ready for the winter trafâ€" fic, which is heavier than at present. The grant for the Navy League was laid over until the County Council meets\and disposes of it. They are quoted as going to give a grant to this fund.. If they do, it was felt that the council ought not to do so at present. The point was if $500 was granted now and the county council made another grant at their next meeting, then the ratepayers of Wesâ€" ton would be called upon to make three contributions to this fund. On motion it was therefore laid over till after the County Council acts. _ Mr. Howard Gray then presented his report on the street car service and the results of his work. After many,delays the Board have issued their findings on the case. It requirâ€" ed much careful attention to all deâ€" tails to bring about the successful conâ€" clusion of the whole affair. After meeting the Railway Board on the second time the railway company tried to have the first statistic report not taken. They were successful im their contention. The Board appointed an independent man, Mr. Campbell â€" of Kingston. He is an expert on traffic problems. In his report he points out that the company are to be compliâ€" mented on their efficient way of handling the traffic with such limited means. Chairman J. Dennis of the Board of Education was present and asked the council to coâ€"operate with them in the matter of bringing before the attenâ€" tion of the citizens the necessity of providing more school accommodation at once. This year there are more pupils in the High School, and the rooms now used in the High School for Public School pupils will be reâ€" quired.. Thus next spring will see the need of some more room for the pubâ€" lic school. Both will coâ€"operate and put the question to the people next January. f C oneâ€"foot strip will, however, prevent this property from securing the adâ€" vantage ~of the new frontage. â€" It is such progressive undertakings that are to be encouraged if our town is to be developed.. The extra frontage that can be obtained means something to the treasury of the town. Chairman J. Dennis of the Board of en t $ The regular meeting of the Weston Council was held on Monday evening. Mayor Charlton presided. After the usual routine of minutes and correâ€" spondence the deputations were heard. Dr. Irwin succeeded in having a street opened up on his property beâ€" tween John and William Streets. This means much to the town in the way of additional frontage and a new street. While there is a part of this street that will only be 33 feet wide, this is due to the refusal of that esâ€" tate refusing to grant the required width to make the street wider.
