'Then there is my- self, Russell Beilhartz, of Bruce Station, Ont. While I'm not a competing plowman, I've been close to the plow nearly all my working life and at one time was *silica of the Ontario Plowmen's Association, the organization that sponsors the big International matches. I was appointed Manag- er of the team and one of the con- ditions of 'my .appointment was that I act as a sort of historian. Accompanying us on the trip is my good wife.' For three of us, Mickey, my wife and myself, this is the first over- seas trip. For Bob Timbers, it le his third. In 1953 he was runner- up to Jim Eccles of Brampton at the first world match held at Co- hourg, Ont., and the following year travelled to the Republic of Ire- land for the world match there. In 1949 he toured the United Kingdom as. a result of winning the .Esso Trans-Atlantic class the year pre. violist,.

Saturday, September 29, We wanted to be in Toronto for Sun-, day when Mickey would arrive from. the West' and Bob would be on hand for the Monday send-off breakfast, you might have known it, After feverishly rushing around at the farm' to be at the station on time we made it, but only to learn, that the `train was running' two hours late! However, we used two hours to good purpose, for many, friends .,,were on hand to. see us off and-we were able to greet them all without the usual' mad rush. • There was also lots of help in getting our luggage aboard the train, including three big white Stetson hats that were donated to members, of the' team, 4I was wear- ing my "tea gallon" headgear when I held the coach door open fora Woman passenger she smiled and remarked: "real Western court- esy", ,Little die she know that she was mistaking an Ontario far- mer for a Western rancher, but far be it for me to change a -lady's mind. Sunday we spent quietly in To- ronto, We attended 'church and generally rested up for what might lie ahead. 'If Sunday was a quiet day then Monday was just the opposite. Im- perial had arranged a send-off breakfast in a private dining room of the hotel., It was attended by Ontario's new minister of agricul- ture, Hon. W. A, Goodfellow, our old friend Jack Carroll, former as- sistant deputy minister of agricul- ture and first, president of the World Plowing Organization, the United. Kingdom Trade Commis- sionee:in Toronto, representatives of the Ontario Plowmen's Associa- tion, the government, and many other organizations. Charlie Rob- inson, an Imperial '011)marketing executive, was chairman. The var- ious speakers wished us„ well and +brought home to us the great hon- or that is 'ours, of represeating Canada at the "Plowmen's Olymp- ies", as the world match is some- times called, - During the breakfast I received two silk Carkadian flags, to fly at the match and a block of polished Laurentian marble with the name Canada engraved on ita It was to be placed in a cairn at the site of the match. The cairn is sur- mountedby a three foot replica of the "Golden Plqugh", the Esso Trdially for world supremacy in plowing. Each of the 14 compet- ing countries has contributed a block of native stone for the monument, which is called a "peace cairn" because on the tablet is, the inscription, "Let. Peace Cultivate the Fields". TWo cairns 11-4e al- ready been erected, one at Cobourg and the other at tlpsala, Sweden, where last year's world match took place.' We had been told that the Duke of Gloucester, uncle of Queen Elizabeth, would unveil: this year's cairn. After the breakfast the news re- porters and photographers had a go at us and before we knew it we were out of the hotel and. into cars that whisked us out to Melton airport where other godd friends were waiting to see us. off. These included Bob's wife and' two child- ren, Mr. and Mrs. James Eccles, (Jlma, who comes from Brampton, Ont., was the first world champion plovvthan), Ivan, McLaughlin of Stotiffville (Bob's neighbour and one of last year's world contest- ants) and Mrs. McLaughlin. io But' it wasn't long before we had to climb aboard a TCA Vis- count for Dorval, P.Q.

The. sky was slightly overcast When we took off from Dorval and headed eastward to the Atlantic. We flaw for a time at 19,000 feet and then rose to 21,000 feet at a speed of 300 miles an hour. It was aawonderful experience far all of us and especially Mickey, for the journey from Portage la Prairie to Toronto • was his first train trip. Thrilled as he was with the train, Mickey said he enjoyed flying even more so. , a About 5:30 'P.m we were served supper and what a meal. AY a- greed none coaild be better,*, even if we' were eating high above the clouds. Shortly after they "bed- ded us down" far the night by re% cliniag the/seats. It was 'probably a gobd idea as we were not able to move around anyway. By one a.m. the sun was coming up. The "early" sunrise was due to the time difference, for London was still on daylight saving time making 'a six hour difference be- tween Montreal and London times. Shortly after one a.m. Canadian time we were having breakfast and it compared eqtrally with, the sup- per. Then we were told we were approaching London, our destina- tion. It had been a lovely cros- sing, not a: quiver, or a bump. We put down at London airport at a.m. London, time and 2 a.m. Eastern Canadian Standard Time. Vie two United States plowmen were there, having arrived earlier. We were told that the ploks for the boys had arrived by boat from Canada and were on their way to Shillingford. While we waited around the air- port planes landed every little while and then another group of plowmen would be added to the party. By 3 ,p.m. the party had grown quite large. We were then told thlt; the countries not then present 'Would come hi late that 'night or early the next day so there was no need to wait. While having lunch at the air- port along with the two United States contestants the head wait- er asked es, "Who will win the world title?" The answer he got came from Eugene Holmes of Waldorf, Minnesota. "The four at this table will be tops", he said, and then after a pause added, "We hope!" We left for Oxford and the site of the world match. Thieves BreakPiro At Drugstore, othing Taken Clinton police were advised early Monday morning of a break-in at F.
