Thirty years ago the “West Prince Exhibition" was ‘adver- tised as “bigger, broader. bri- ghter and -better than ever." with more than $1.200 offer- ed in prize money. Today the Alberton Prince County Exhibi- tion might well repeat the old slogan for it still holds true in 1962 and this year over $5,000 is being offered in prizes.

LIVESTOCK SHOW

This exhibition originated in a livestock show held in conjunc- tion with a school fair at Elms- dale. It was sponsored by the Farmers‘ Institute. of which A. D. O'Brien was president and William A. MacArthur was sec- reiary, and for two years it functioned on institute funds. It was open to four school dis- tricts.

As the exhibition grew and prospered its area expanded to include the first two electoral districts of Prince County, then ea st to include Summerside and. eventually, to take in all Prince County.

The exhibition association In it now exists has had three pre- sidents and four secretaries. The presidents have been A. D. O'Brien. Lester E. Wallace and C. W. Hayes wht is now in of- fice. .'l’he“secretary..“r tar Currie. has been preceded by Fred J. Wells. Leigh Hodgson and Herbert Matthews.

A comparison of entries made 30 years ago with those of last year shows four times as many entries of dairy cattle and more than 12 V times as many beef cattle. The number of horses and ponies entered in 1961 is al- most equal to the number of horses entered 30 years ago, although there has been a mark- ed decrease during the interven- ing years.

In looking over the list of en- tries for 1933 one is impressed by the fact that it includes the names of less than 10 people who are still exhibiting.

The prize list of 30 years ago includes a class for fish with sections for dried cod. dried hake.. salt mackerel and salt herring.

An individual who has been

actively associated with the exhibition for many years re- calls‘ that many of the prizes in this class were awarded to the lat 'Richard Masher. ' dt 1 three-years (193- 1930 inclusive) there was a spe- cial class for foxes. with sections for light. medium and dark sil- ver pups. In 1929 there were 41 entries in this class. A few years later the exhibition asso- ciation made arrangements for the fox show to be held separ- ately ln the month of Novem- ber when the fur would be in better condition. ,

Mayor Morrison stated that the council was unanimous in agreeing that the letters sign was not to be erected on the north side but it had been put up by the contractors. It was later taken down on instructions from Mr. Brophy who comp- lied with the decision of coun- cil.

However Coun. Wood said he disagreed. “The council was not all in agreement." he said. “I wasn't and neither was the late Coun. Rogers."

It was pointed out that Coun- cillor Alex MacDonald was not a member of the council when the decision was reached not to erect the sign. Coun. MacDon- ald was the only member who supported Coun. Wood's origin- al motion to have the sign put back up on the north side.

Controversy resulted from the‘

reading of a letter by Coun. Ross from the secretary of the fire department which stated the

planation as to why the sign had been taken down and on whose authority.

‘Coun. George Key. Jr.. criti- cized a story in a Summerside paper which he said claimed to a certain amount of lobbying was done among the candidates by a couple of residents living in the vicinity of the fire hall in an effort to have the signs kept from being erected. said be presumed the story re- ferrd to him. as he was a cen- tre ward candidate, and stated the information in the article was incorrect.

Mayor Morrison said he. “ne- ver knew the signs were even going up at election time."

His worship further explain- ed that Coun. Ross brought the matter to council and each member was asked his opinion individually. “As I recall it was unanimous not to erect the sign.

Coun. MacDonald. in support- ing Coun. Wood's original mo- tion to have the sign put back up on the north side of the building stated. "lt is a building the residents should be proud of and if the firemen want it ,back, I believe it should be put
