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-

1949 he toured the United Kingdom

ie, on. 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

remarked: "real Western court-

she was mistaking an Ontario far-

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

had to climb aboard a TCA Vis-

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

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%

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.
