VOL. 66.-â€"N 0. 3402 50th Grey Fair Held Yesterday Another successful Fan Fair has been conducted by the South Grey Agri- cultunl society, which held its annual those 01 last year, which were supposed to be a record. In g1] depu'tments the listm pretty weif filled. and the in- side exhibits eSpecially were above the average. Downstairs the exhibit of grain and roots. flowers and fruit, was md fancy black-snfithing. 0n exhibit with this were the diplomas and cer- tificates entitling Mr. Atkin to member- C. E. Harrington. who demonstated his Prom Feeds which he is putting on the market. Mr. Remington also had on its of poultry. Among them was one of the recent exhibition at Wembley, England. The downstairs exhibits were most interesting. Upstairs the 'women held sway and their exhibits were fully the equal of other- years. The upper hall was filled with the dif- ferent exhibits of ladies’ work. bak- ing, preserving and children’s work. On the lot the entry list was above that of last year. we are told. the live stock being particularly good. Cattle horses. sheep. hogs poultry, and other farm products were well represented. The day was all that could be desir- ed. Tuesday was rather problematieal and some rain fell, until some expres- sed the Opinion that the Durham Fair was in for another wet show day. The precipitation was not heavy, however, and although Wednesday looked threat ening in the morning. the clouds rol- led away and the afternoon was per- fect. As a result a good crowd was on hand. though not nearly so large as the exhibits and the day deserved. It was a busy afternoon for every- body. the Directors oi the show in looking after their duties. and the spec- tators in looking over the various dis- plays. The younger element, too. spent a busy time in running from one booth to anather. riding on thewnies and making trips on the ferris wheel.‘ In the evening the usual good con- cert was held in the town hall, the talent this year being the Willie Bell Concert Company of London. l'.

She advised a meeting of farm- ers here Saturday night that they should say, “We will not pay taxes un- til we earn the taxes out of the land.” Criticizing the advice given by farm eXperts, Miss Macphail said if they must give advice it should be on where} and how to market produceâ€"not how to produce it. A means of processing farm products and distributing them must be found, she contended, before the farmer would be prosperous. Steeply graduated income tax with the greatest burden on the wealthy, and a heavy inheritance tax were ad- put $300, 000, 000 into circulation until . present conditions are relieved. Miss Macphail charged that special privileged interests governed Canada. “In the past they governed through the Government; now they are the Government,” she said. Formation otfiGeorgian Bay Municipal Electric Association To Be Discus- sed at Midland Formation of an organization to be known as the Georgian Bay Municipal Electric Association is expected to be made at the annual meeting of the Eugenia Hydro - Electric Association which is being held in Midland today. Guest Speakers will be the Rt. Hon; Arthur Meighen, Conservative leader in the Senate and W. C. Pierson, chief accountant for the Hydro Electric Pow- er Commission. who will give a talk on the many phases of Hydro pertain- ing to this system. Afternoon and evening sessions will be held aboard the steamer “Midland City,” when the delegates will be the guests of the Midland Public Utilities Last Saturday evening a rather pe- culiar accident happened on Lambton street in which a motorcycle ridden by Traffic Office Hood and a truck be- longing to the ross Sutherland Hardware Co. and driven by Mr. Stanâ€" ley Pust, ’came together at the lane entrance immediately west of the Middaugh House stables. Both mach- ines were more or less wrecked, al- though it is said the monetary dam- age will not be as much as was at first thought. Mr. Pust was travelling west on} Lambton. Officer Hood was comingl east. It is said the sun at this hour; shining on the pavement prevented Mr. Pust having as good view as at other times and, in turning in to the lane he failed to observe Officer Hood on his motorcycle. It is said Pust sig- nalled he was about to turn in, but this did not prevent a collision. The two machines met over near the curb on ’ the south side of the street and tbcth are now undergoing repairs. Luckily, neither driver was injured.

ONTARIO, CANADA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1932 Indians 0n Increase Census Figures Show Dominion Oilfield: of Opinion There Canada now than when the first white man landed in this country. The 1931 census of the Dominion gives the total number of red men as 122.920, comm- ed with the last departmental census total of 108,012. Considerable difference or opinion‘ has from time to time been expressed; as to whether there are as many In-‘ dians in Canada as when French and English settlers first came here. In- dian department heads are inclined to the belief there are more. Of course, it can never be definitely decided as the Indians who roved through the pruneval forests weren’t worried by census takers. It was explained at the bureau or statistics Tuesday that the reason for the divergent views is that some bands have refused to sign treaties making them wards of the Dominion govern- ment in return for handing over their lands. Consequently they would not be included in the total prepared by the Department of Indian Affairs, but are in the census returns of the bureau. One of these bands is west of Red v â€"â€"- Deer and others in the Northwest Territories. Deadly Snakes Are Really Timid poisonous cOpperhead killed in Ontario, and authority at the Boys scum states that there are definitely no cOpperheads in Ontario, that there are none in Canada" Appearing .in the Mide Free Press is a story of two men who were picking berries near Penetang when one of them stepped on the tail of what is described as a copper-head story goes on to say that the snake attacked with Open jaws, but, before it could do any/ damage, repeated blows on the head put it out 6f ac- tion permanently. _ E James Baillie,‘ of this department of zoology, Royal Ontario Museum, read the story and smiled. I “It seems to be a frame of mind” he said. “PeOple come across a snake! and it has got to be poisonous and it has got to be a copperhead. We fre- quently receive reports like this one and even specimens from persons who are positive that they have found a copperhead. “There are definitely no copperâ€" heads in Ontario, none in Canada. for the number of other snakes. ‘ “What, then. is this snake Iouuu in Penetag?” Mr. Bail ie read the descriptionâ€"â€" triangular ead. brownish colorings.

I went with a museum par- ty some time ago and we caught 50 of them, many of them alive. In the Biological Building you will find at least a dozen of them alive. “They are absolutely non-poisonous" Mr. Baillie said. “There was one mem- ber of the party, Logier, who made pets of them, actually going to bed with one.
