Addressing himself to President Smith, the directors, and ladies and gentlemen present, General Maec- Brien included the officers, non- commissioned officers and men of the Ontario Regiment, and veterdns of the Great War, drawn up in front of the grand stand in his salu. tation, He warmly commended the exer- ciges held in front of the grana stand during the afternoon by thou- de of public school children of wa and Ontario County. Greatest Asset "We hear much in Canada of the Dominion's vast natural resources,' he stated, "but we should never fail to emphasize the fact that Can- ada's youth is the greatest of them 'all. It was the happiest possible conception of this Fair Board that its opening day should be dedicated to the district's childhoed." A glowing tribute to the Ontario 'Regiment and assembled members of Post No. 43, Oshawa, of fhe Oanadian Legion wae then paid. The general complimented the offi cers and rank and file of the On- tario Regiment guard of honor and band for their fine display of sol- dierly efficiency: and he declared himself most gratified to see the fine relations existing between tne lneal veterans of the Great War and their comrades who are serving in the ranks of Canada's most lustri- cus battalions, "Faire have aptly been termed the show windows of the country." tha sneaker pointed out. "They en- able farmers to exchange ideas, and a healthy condition of rivalry is not the least of a fair's many results. "It should not be forgotten that commerce benefits, and that the eap- tains of industry such as this city has in such large numbers also get new ideas and many direct benefits from an exhibition such as this, Change Name "If it 1s in order for me to make a suggestion, I would advance the thought that this South Ontario GINGER ALE Unequalied for flavour and zest Made by O'Keslr's Beverages, Limited, ------ Fair's name should be changed from fair to exhibition to show the mu- tual efforts and service of manufac- turers as well as farmers in its suc- cess, and to foster even greater co- operation in future." The Ontario Regiment guard of honor and band marched to the review point in front of the grand stand in command of Major E, C. Hodgins, being composed of men selected from "A" and "B" Com- panies of Oshawa, and "C" Com- pany from Whitby, Officers under Major Hodgins in- cluded Captain C. A, Mason, ad- jutant of the regiment; Lieut. F. Hardman, Lieut. G. . McGillivray, 'Whitby, Lieut.-Col. Chappell, commanding the regiment, was an interested spectator of the regiment's fine per- formance, being one of those in- cluded in the director's box at the official opening. Post No. 43, of the Canadian Le- gion was well represented on par- ade, being accompanied by their Pipe Band. The veterans were un- der the command of Warrant Offi- cer Willlam Cooper, with H. Carey as. color bearer. The pipers were under Drum Major McTaggart and Pipe Major McNevin. President Dan Douglas accompanied General MacBrien and Major Smith, presi- dent of the fair, in his inspection of the veterans. Regiment and Voterans The Ontario Regiment's guard of honor and band numbered 87 of- ficers and men; the veterans' ranks numbered 80. Medals were worn by all entitled to them, The arrival of General MacBrien brought the Guard of Honor, drawn up in open order with fixed bayo- nets, to attention while the' band played "The General." Accompanied by President Snlith of the Fair and Major Hodgins, Gen- eral MacBrien passed the ranks for a formal inspection, Prominent citizens in the direc- tors' boxes of the grand stand in- cluded his worship, Mayor Preston, of Oshawa, F, W., Cowan, B, Moth- ersill, D, M, Tod, Major Alfred Hind.

Dinner in honor of Gen, MacBrien was served in the Hospital' Auxil- liary Tent at 6 p.m., by the ladies composing that organization. Gen, MacBrien, introduced by President Smith, was the first speaker. His address, after con- veying his deep sense of apprecia- tion for the honor conferred upon him, took a humorous turn, He de- clared that the his presence rested upon the direc- tors, General's Story "It reminds me of the story of a darkey," he stated, "who was in- formed by an excited neighbor that his wife had gone into her cabin, unconscious of the fact that she was RE Our New Style No 88x Medium in weight, and sik to the hem, a full fashioned hose, made with the Slipper Heel® to give the ankles a slimmer, appearance.

Well, all I got to say is that that bear is in there on his own responeibility.' "I am here on your responsibility, gentlemen," the general sald in con- clusion. Major Smith then called upon W. E. N, Sinclair, K.C., M.P.P,, leader of the Liberal Party in Ontario, and a former president and secre- tary of the fair association, Mr, Sinclair declared that it was a great pleasure for him to be pres- ent on such an auspicious occasion. Nec Praised "We are today witnessing a new departure in our exhibition," he stated, 'in that its formal opening has been placed in the hands of such a distinguished citizen as Maj.-Gen. MacBrien." Mr. Sinclair recalled the earlier days of the fair, with which he was connected for so many years as sec- retary, and paid a warm tribute to the work of the present eecretary, Charles P, Davis. "Without taking anything from the work accomplished by the presi- dent and directors generally," Mr, Sinclair pointed out, "I know that the whole work of the fair centres about its secretary, its manager, and the initial success of this year's ex- hibition shows how well the office is being filled by Mr. Davis." The objects of a County fair ware educational and social, Mr, Sinclair stated, and he believed that the South Ontario Fair held an enviahle place with regard to both these spe- cial goals, He commended, in par- ticular, the holding of a children's day, and while the financial return for this day might be small, it would bear fruit in the final days of the fair throught the advertising the | delighted children would give it, Dr. T. E, Kaiser, M.P., was next presented by President Smith who declared that much of the beauty of Alexandra Park owed itself to his efforts over many years, Tie plant- ing of the park's trees and beauti- fying of its grounds had been one of Dr. Kaiser's many public spirit- ed intérests. Dr. Kaiser remembered the early days of the fair and that it had started with a splendid asset--"a debt of some $5,000," he stated. Splendid Efforts "The growth of the fair has not been the work of one man," he de- clared, "but of many working to- gether in a common effort, The efforts of Mr, Sinclair, Mr, Tod, Mr, Henry, are outstanding points in my memory, but the success of this ven- ture has resulted from the fact that everybody put their shoulders to the wheel." Dr. Kaiser congratulated the di- rectors on having Maj.-Gen. Mac- Brien open the fair. "It is the first time to my know- ledge," he stated, "that an Agricul- tural Association has asked the head of the army in Canada to of- ficiate in such a capacity, I am proud of this society for that fact. It shows, I believe, that the agri- culturaligts of Canada know that the complex business of government cannot be run effectively without a military foree to stand sponsor for that government. "Such a force stands as a guaran- tee against insurrection making head amongst a peaceful people, and I am firmly convinced that the agri- culturalists of the Dominion of Can- ada will support a reasonable amount of military preparedness, ed and disciplined military organi- zation under the British flag can render in peace as well as war." Dr. Kaiser expressed again On- tario County's pride in her distin- guished soldierson. "Each Federal parliament gses- sion," he stated, "is opened with a pageant. The Governor-General comes to the house as the King's deputy, but the leader of that pro- cession is the head of the army. Head of Army "Witnessing this pageant not long «ince, a man beside me--along with many others--was struck by the manly stride and soldierly bearing of the general, who, on that occa- sion, headed the opening pageant. " 'Who is that officer," I was ask- ed by a man beside me. . 'It is Gen- eral MacBrien," I replied, 'a dis- tinguished soldier who comes from my constituency. "'By gum!' this fellow told me 'if all your constituents walk as straight as he does you'll have to steer on a mighty straight course." " When the laughter at Dr. Kai- ger's joke on himself subsided President Smith called on Chair- man T. B. Mitchell of the Board of | Education, whom he thanked, on behalf of the directors, for the trus- tees co-operating with the fair to make children's day a success. Mr. Mitchell declared that he had not expected being called upon for any remarks, but that he felt as- sured that the School Board was very willing to co-operate as they did in order to help the 1927 Fair to a splendid success. * "We are only too willing to eo- operate in this way or any other," he stated, "and I wish you gentle- men of the Fair Board every suec- cess in your efforts." Conciuding the director's ban- quet, Major Smith expressed appre- by 'the ' Auxilliary of the Oshawa General Hospital.
