Crowds At Bond Head By With Coekstown Fair and other happenings over ithe weekend most folks in lnnisfil had to plan their time carefully to get in on all the activity We missed the big fair at Cookstown in order to accom pany group of Credit Unioners on their annual bus trip this year to Burlington We hear that the fair was bigger and better than ever with Cyril Cook of lnnisfn having the Hereford class all to himself The bus trip was enjoyable but all one se from the window does not compare with meeting many old friends as one would at fair The bus party toured Duudurn Castle the home of Sir Allan lilacNab who was knight ed by Queen Victoria for quell ing the rebellion started by lilac kcuzle it has been restored after lying idle for years for lack of funds to keep it up and tells story of many such homes and way of life which the wealthy enjoyed in those times The Credit Union litutual As sociation and Insurance Society who have built new headquar ters in Burlington was our host for dinner and tour of the building after our bus strayed off course on the way to the out lying district Credit Union Day will be celebrated by the Geor gian hay Chapter on October 14th lviih banquet and dance at Oriliia in the Steelworkers Hall SHEEP DOG TRIALS We went directly fromchurch on Sunday to Band Head area to watch the international Sheep Dog Trials the first such event to be held in Canada Dogs were there from many parts of the United states and Canada and we were surprised to find so many people in attendance and enjoying the contests The trials were held in valleyrshaped field covering nearly hundred acres Points are allowed up to total of so and the dog is sent out to bring in flock of sheep from across the valley points lift the cautious way the moves the sheep fetch of award for the dog in the rid bringing the flock in hi 1qu drive is 15 points the dog moves his sheep mass the field and puts them througth two sets of gates on opposte sides of the field to points for non when doe must drvo sheepr nio pen =hed gains points when sheep shall be moved to thehandlers cir cle where one marked sheep will be shed Not all the dogs perform as expected Some did not find the flock on the distant hill and one or two evidently became excited and left the en closure before stariing their work thus disqualifying them selves Besides owners from many parts of the USA Canadians included Bah Walker of Omar more Jim Lindsay of Bradford Percy Cowan of Bolton Neil hletheral of Glen Huron Will iam Mcliiichaul of King Bob Walker won the Canadian Cham pionship and came fourth in the International winnings Sunday thesccond day of the contest more than 20ut people turned out to spread along the boundary fence on warm sunny day We had quite thrill to find that the farm was adjoining one on which we had spent some years ofour early childhood back at the tllrn of the century barn on the next farm still stands and we watched it being built It was said to he the first hiproofed harn known thenand the foundation of cement was first also We attended the Scotch Linc school from there The log house in which we livcdis now gone PUPILS SITle lnnisfil had strike which did not make headlines The dispute between the Board and some par cnts on the Holly road west of Highway 27 llad been settled when the Board relented on their refusal to pick up the pupils at their roadside and wanted them to wallrio Highway 27 for the morning bus The first morning when they stood at their gates the driverand the constable on tbe school guard decided that to best get going be make the pick up and turn around In the even ing when the driver did not dis embark the pupils at their gates th stayed on the bus riding the ma to the end and finally to get rid otthom the driver put them off at theirhomesi The agreement reached between the Board and parents provides for pickup at their homes in the morning and disembarkinil at the highway in the evening This seems to be satisfactory to all mneerried The evening bus siton wrs quite an experience for the driver and goes dolvnliltstlle records as win for the pupils and parents QUOTED IN PROPAGANDA The VoleNo Committee has ing used our byline to quote author ity for their claims that rate payers in the coming liquor vote this week should vote against al lowing outleis in lnnisfil for the sale of liquor We have endea voured to remamneutral in this and for that reason used mater ial supplied by both sides in our mention of the voting However we feel that as we have been quoted we should express our opinions for what they are worth FOUR DECISIONS 0n the first qumtion 35 to government stores for sale of liquor even if the vote was in favor such store might not be opened as the government needs to know that sucha store will pay its way The second question for approval of share for the sale of beer to take home it might also have to be slwwn that this was needed Thaardbehtot is for the sale of beer under the public house or beer parlor plan to which women would be admit fed The fourth ballot allowing ofvthe sale of liquor under din ing lounge licence for consump tion with meals might be the only one to get our approval lnnisfil restaurants are handi capped when the tourist can by short drive get service which includes adrink with meal We need this service for our expand ing tourist business to put us on par with any other part of Outlt DIIU Aother milestone of lifepass ed this weekend and we thank the folks who sent cards This makes it feel not too bad to get older DISTRICT NEWS THE BARNIE
