PLEASANT POINT

AGRICULTURAL CLUBS SUCCESSFUL SHOW This week, pupils of the Pleasant Point District High School, held their first show in connection with the agricultural clubs. The various clubs were formed during the year, and that their influence has been helpful was reflected in the knowledge of the exhibitors and the quality of their produce. Entries in the open classes were good. As a result of the success achieved, it is hoped to make the show an annual fixture. A number of parents and friends inspected the exhibition.
