Terrace Fair Biggest and
Most Successful Yet Held]

TERRACE, ‘B. C., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1924

-

The Terrace Fall Fair. which
was held on Tuesday and Wed-
m nesday, the 16th and 17th, was
one of the most successful ever
held there. both financially and
otherwise,
™ The fair board this year faced
= a deficit from past operations of
A about $50, but, notwithstanding
i: this fact, increased the value of
Mm the cash prizes by about $100 and
™ the special prizes by about $200,
®. which practically doubled the
™ prize list over any other year.
My. The wisdom of these increases
i was approved of by the exhibit-
Mors, as the competition in manv
Mm ciasses was more than doubled.
™, The most noticeable among the
aM increased entries were those of
. livestock, home cooking and fancy
' work, The livestock entries were
a: increased threefold over previous
ma years, and those were interested
Min this section recerved much
valuable information from the
fe judge, Mr. Mckie, who explained
oa| during the process of judging
B his reasons for making awards,
m.as well as where sume of .the
animals were deficient.

science departments, where in
the past two tables had been suf-

year five long tables were requi-
sitioned, and they were well filled
The competition was very keen,
and the judge, Miss Lauder, found
it very difficult at times to deter-
mine which excelled in these
classes.

Owing to the early spring and
the consequent early maturing of
some of the varieties, some short-
ages were noticeable in the fruit
section of those not available.
Particularly may this be said of
plums and prunes. The apple
exhibits, while embodying all the
yarieties shown in the past, were
not as generously displayed as on
gome previous occasions, except,
possibly, the entries in the pack-
ed boxes. These were ahead of
other years. Competitors in this
class received valuable informa-
tion from R. H. Murray, the
judge, as to why their boxes
were not prizewinners,

The flower competition present-
ed volumes of evidence as to the
attention this branch of horticul-
ture is receiving in the Terrace
district. Beautiful displays were
seen both in the collections and
the individuai entries. House
plants, too, were very much in
evidence, and drew forth great
admiration.

The school competition and the
children’s sewing, judged by
Miss Lauder, bore evidence of the
training the coming generation
was receiving, and aroused favor-
able comment from both the
judge and the public at large.

of the fair were those of minerals
and photography, but the exhibits
in these classes made up in qual-
ity what they lacked in quantity.

The field roots, and grains and

extensive and the quality the
best. . Some of :he entries in the
potato’ classes drew very favor-
able comment from the judge, J.
kK. Munro, who intimated that no
better quality or grading could
be obtained anywhere. .

Competition was very keen in
the vegetable section, judged by
R. P. ‘Murray, whieh contained
practically every variety knowpb

Rangers, was noted a large num-

ber of entries, and while the boys
of this district have not the ad-
vantages of manual training in
the schools that the larger towns
enjoy, yet their workmanship and
ideas, as set out in the various
bird boxes shown, indicate that
thev have a natural aptitude for
for this work, and should be en-
couraged along this and similar
lines, The Willing Workers spe-
cial, given by Mrs. Parsons for

tion, made it evident that the
girls in their particular line are
not far behind the boys.in their
competitive line of manual train-
ing. Perhaps it was a little
noticeable that the boys took a
greater interest in their. special
than the girls did in theirs.

That.-the Terrace fair was a
success is due largely. to the com-
munity interest taken in the
organization, and. well demons-
trates that by united efforts-in
this as well as other similar moye-
mients the district’s interests can
be well looked after, and mach
advantage gained both individu-
lly and collectively in thus ad-
vertising the fertility of our val-
leys and the ability of our people.
Should any outsider prove scepti-
cala pressing invitation to attend
the fair should be proof enough
of our claims.

Also that the assistance of the
ladies in this’ movement as well
asin other lines of community
endeavor is necessary, was best
exemplified by the results of their
efforts to assist the board in the
