We are not, of course. upholding the claims of fakirs at shows, but we are strong on attractions. Make the show They have the reputation or putting on a good show at Simcoe, and The Reformer, published there, comments on the question as follows: “We under- stand that the Department has receiv- ed numerous complaints about some of these side-shows and indications are not lacking that unless more attention is paid to the strictly agricultural as- pects of the fair, some of the societies will find themselves struggling along without monetary assistance from the Department. Mr. J. Lockie Wilson. director of agricultural societies for Ontario, recently pointed out that the fakir stuff was carrying away a lot of money that could be spent to better advantage and that circus attractions were shoving the cattle and other stock exhibits into neglected corners. To a certain degree, this tendency has been observed at our Norfolk county fair, although the directors have made every effort to keep it clean and whole- some. Probably with a change in dates next year, it will be possible to again give the agricultural features the prom- inence they deserve.” PAGE 6. a midway this year, but it was a suc- cess. A rugby game was substituted. but after all what’s the diflerence?" Hanover Fair has been forking ahead for several years, but we are of the op- inion that from the standpoint of a:- tendance, the dropping of “midway” at- tractions and substituting educational features, would be a frost. There is no gainsaying the fact but that this age and generation likes to be entertained. and we do not believe that a purely agricultural show can be made a fin- ancial success in this district. 01m * PAPERS’ eeormlous“; some parents are assisting their child- ren too gnuch, although perhaps with the very best intentions.

Some par- ents have insisted on arranging the ex- hibits and complaints have been made, although the department has no way or checking this up. It is pointed out that the practise is to some extent de- feating the principle of the rural school lair. A certain amount of judicious criticism should be given by the par- cuts, but actual work on their part is frowned on.

Just because a man neglecrs to change his driving permit from one suit to another is no reason why he should be fined.
