J. T. Webster of Robson was
again elected president of the
Castlegar and District Fall Fair
Board at Monday night's Annual
meeting which followed a ban-
quet for about 40 guests.

First vice-president is Mrs.
Cc. Bradford, Castlegar and J.
H. Smith of Robson was elected
2nd_ vice-president,

Secretary for the 1958 sea-
son is Mrs. Paul Oglow, Castle-
gar, while Mrs, A. McDonald was
returned as treasurer, and Mrs.
L, Zinio was elected to act as
her assistant.

Pessible election of. a Fair
Manager was brought up and will
be left for the new executive to
make an appointment.

Board directors are to be
selected from representatives of
local service clubs and organiza-
tions, and those present are to
report back té their particular
group. Representatives will be
asked to attend the first meeting
of the new year, to be held the
3 Monday in January, 1958.

Mr. Webster opened the
business portion of the meeting
with a report on the past year’s
accomplishments and called for
nominations fer a chairman for
the meeting.

J. S. Scott of Robson was

ducted the ensuing elections,

Mrs. McDonald presented
the treasurer's report and finan-|
cial statément showing an over
all bank balance of $562.21, in-
cluding the reserve fund which
had. been reduced to approxi-
mately $57 with the purchased of
trestles for the display tables.

Mrs. McDonald reported
some interesting figures on Fair
statistics, noting there had been

favourable in comparison to 1956's
83 exhibitors,”

A total of 1206 entries had
been exhibited, and the sum of
$516 had been paid out in prize
money,

A breakdown of exhibits
showed, in the various sections,
Vegetables 183; Fruit 69; Flowers
186; Dairy 15; Canning 262;
Baking 219; Needlework 163;
Handicraft 85 and in the Junior
section there were 64 entrics.

Mr. Webster explained the
awarding of the $10 prize to the
Pythian Sisters for the best dis-
played section. He felt there had
‘been a misunderstanding about
this, as judges reports had been
favourable to other sections as
well. Members were asked to
study the reports at the last
meeting of the Board and a vote
showed the Pythian Sisters Home
Canning on top, with the IODE
and Robson Farmer's Institute
getting honorable mentions.

which is being lined up by the
Centennial Committee. As yet
no specific plans had been made
to include the Fall Fair in the
plans.

The dates set for the 1958

105 exhibitors, which was very |'

20, and a suggestion was made

that the executive of the Fair
Board contact the Centennial
Committee with a view.to ar-
ranging. programs so they wilt
not conflict but will benefit each
of the two organizations. hE

Commenting on the lateness
of the dates as set, Mr, McDonald
searched through. past year’s
data to come up with the obser-
vation that most successful of
the Castlegar District Fall Fairs
have been the ones Jate in Sept.

A show of hands favoring a
switch to a night other than
Friday was requested, with the
result the regular meetings will
now take place on the 3 Monday
of each month, and will be held
in the Legion Hall. A vote of
thanks was made to the Légion
for their kindness in allowing
the. Board to hold the meetings
in the hall rent-free.
