The result has been that the Durham Central Fair has grown in importance, and residents (Bowmanville Statesman) Is the day of apprenticeship past? Modern trends are toward speâ€" cialization in industry with machâ€" imes doing what was once the basis of apprentice instruction, and his final "trade" mastery. Few of the trades toâ€"day offer scope for the general application of apprentice effort. But it is a noteworthy fact, as recently pointed out by The Simâ€" coe Reformer, that there is an actual shortage of tradesmen in tines of industry in which modernâ€" tation will never replace human skill and effort. The Reformer cites such trades as painting, brickâ€" taying, machine work, automobile repairs, and the broad field of radio. These and others are still open to young men as providing an indeâ€" of the district have a better fair than either the old Bowmanville or Orono fairs provided. The time is coming, we believe, when each County will have one fair, and that fair worthy of the larger territory it will serve. If the Port Hope Society can still be said to exist, there is also the Cartâ€" wright, and Milbrook societies in addition to the Durham Central. We are of the opinion that if the resources of al these groups were combined in one large county seâ€" ciety, a better and more representâ€" ative fair would resv!t.
