Mr. MacDonald said he was not sure firms which rented booth space were getting their money's worth. ‘There are few people in the stadium when there is no entertainment, and while
entertainment is on ‘there is no |,|
business at the booths.’’ Of the livestock show, he said, “so far the carnival has merely
-played lip service to this as-{|°
pect. I feel that a committee should study the value of the
to get fully behind the farmers. T also feel that it is up-to-the

In the Miss P.E.I. contest re- port, Chairman Margaret Ann | Craig recommended that the age bracket for contestants be set at 18-23 imstead of. 16-20, be- cause, “a girl of 16 years does not generally have the poise of a girl-18 years."’ Chairman also recommended that contestants ‘be required to wear white dress- es only, short white dresses for informal occasions and floor jength for more formal occa- sions.
SURPLUS
The financial report showed a net surplus for the carnival of $8,200, with net income for 1966 being $2,068. ae
Each of the town's five ser- vice clubs, the Legion, Lions, Y's--Men;~ Kinsmen, and the Board of Trade had representa- tives receive a cheque of $1,000 from the outgoing president.
