Centre To House Agricultural Events Waterloo took another Sher to- wards procuring an agricu tural community centre this week when thry arranged a conference be- tween Council, Federation of Agriculture representatives and legging rura)_ citizens. A - _ Waterloo first started this plan of bringing the Fair to Waterloo some months ago when it was hint- ed that Guelph might not be in- terested in retaining the popular event, However, subsequent action hom Guelph quarters aimed at holding the winter fair there somewhat dampened enthusiasm towards hav- ing it located in the Twin City. Although hopes of obtaining the fair have not been entirely aban- doned, local sources are inclined to look upon the idea m only a remote pogsibil_ily._ .. _ _ _ But this has not sidetracked plans to erect a community centre. Both county and urban representatives feel the need of such a place to establish outstanding agricultural events. County fairs and wider seed shows are among the items seen for the future. Another angle was cited tor the building's use last night when W. J. Schneller. president of Waterloo County Federation of Agriculture, told Council that farmers strong'ly ‘advocated procuring a place where the? coytd hold liv_e§19ck sa_les._ _ Mr. Schneller lold how the idea was submitted and found favor among the farmers. "I'm sure if the town and surrounding centres assist. a satisfactory community centre can be erected." Mr. McLaughry. agricultural re- presentative or Waterloo County, assured Council his department was willing to co-operate. He pointed to events now being held in Water- loo annually. including the seed fair which he termed "one of the few strictly agriculture programs linjhg county-.5 __ _ _---- Referring to the Black and White Show which takes place in Water- loo Park during the Bummer, Mr. Melarughry believes this summer's event will "at"' any of its pre- deccuors. . ls show attracts people. from across the province." £31323 7th Brldgehead Won London. - Soviet troops, with seven l"Itr.""igt over the Oder River a li more than 30 miles ens! and northeast of Berlin, have begun the main battle for the en- emy casual.
