It's got
what the
h 43
experts call
"road' sense"
The '57 Chevrolet can give
lessons on taking curves
'and holding the road to
just about any car going
no matter hoWThinuch more
it costs: Few cars at any
price are so beautifully
• balanced and so smooth,
sure and solid in action.
The '57 Chevy's road savvy
-- isn't surprising once you learn
what's underneath it—new de7
velopthents in steering, springs
and suspension. Chevy plants
itself *wide and low to the road,
and with its pounds in the
right! places. That's why it
sticks so surely and solidly
around corners and curves.
That's why it seems to follow,
the road /as though on invisi-
ble - rails.
ClieVy's new V8 power (up
to 245. h.p.*) springs from
what people who know have
called the best performing pas-
senger car engine ever
And that makes the going even
better! Snappier performance
with more preeise_contrall
Come in.and try it.

OXFORD, England—We've been
over here more than a 'week now
and the day of the world Plovving
match is close at hand. Robert
Timbers' of Stouffville, Ont., the
Canadian champion plowman and
his team mate Edwin. Deniman of
Portage la Prairie, Men„ have now
put in' many hours of . practice
plowing,-
At this stage I'd like to pay
tribute to our boys, for •they cer-
tainly take this match seriously.
`If'trine, effort and doncentration
count for anything, the Canadians
should win the Esso Golden Plough
trophy, which is the award for the
world champion plowman. Yester-
day the boys were so intent on
practice plowing that they didn't
even stop for lunch. They were
having the- same trouble as the
other -plowmen—the earth clinging
to the mould board, However, be-
fore they knocked off for the day
they were in 'better humour as
the furrOws began taking on bat-
ter shape.
When we got back to the hotel
we found J. D. Thomas, of Toron-
to, president. of the World Plow-
ing 'Organization, arid Mrs. Thom-
as • had arrived. They came over
by boat. "J.D.", as we call him,
started kidding me about shaving
off the ,beard -I had grown for the
centennial celebrations .at Sault
Ste. Marie. That. was some time
ago but I must say it was a real
black beard and heavy enough to
hide behind. J.D. announced to
everyone that I Would have to
grow it again if neither „of the
boys won the trophy. Not only
that, ID, declared I would have
to wear • the "facial foliage until
the world championship returned
to Canada. Any comments by my
wife will have to, come from her
personally.
Speaking of adornment, I had
to do some shopping for Mickey
Demman yesterday. He wanted an
English cap because he didn't
want to get his white stetson dirty,
I found his head had shrunk one
size since he left home, or so I
told him, but he didn't bat an eye
over the- kidding. Be probably fig-
ured English hat sizes are a little
'different. ,
On Sunday the boys from the
13 competing nations did not plow
and 'some visited nearby farmers.
My wife and .1 went to church
and the welcome we received was,
warm and sincere. A lady , and a
gentleman member of the congrez
gation were at the door to welcome
strangers.
In contrast 'to the Toronto
church we visited which was an
immense building with a very
small Congregation, in Oxford it
was a small and very old building
with a large attendance. Everyone

The farm is rod ern a wonder-
ful crop of sugar beet, kale, po-
tatoes, hay and grain. I have
never seen such a thick mat of
grass and walking in the pasture
was like walking on a very thick
carpet.
The next day Bab, Mickey and
Jim Brooker, the New Zealand
champion, quietly sneaked away
from the large practice field to a
small field about three miles
away so they could practice by
themselves. The plawbottoms
cleaned 'very nicely in the soil at
the new site and the boys' felt
good.
During the. day I had, an inter-
esting talk with Mr. Benwell of
Esso• Petroleum in London and
learned he has a daughter living
at Agincourt, Ont„ the wife of
Dr. D. C. Hood.' Also met' and
talked with many people who had
attended ,the first world match at
Cabourg in 1953. They all seemed
to tell the same story of 'how
Well they were treated in Can,
ada, what a beautiftil country we
have, and how well organized is
the International Plowing Match.
Just by way of contrast I would
say that the British seem to take
more pride than we in Ontario in
their plowing matches: "Here
everything seems to 'be in penfect
order. All fence posts are cemdrit
and wire and rope enclosures are
tightened well. Entrances to the
demonstration park are •nicely
levelled and turnstiles are used.
Mobile telephone and cable offices
have been set up and the public
address system extends well out
'into the fields where the classes
will 'be held.
The machinery rows are laid
out differently to ours at the Int-
ernational. Here the headquarters
is in the centre. of the• park. The
tractor enclosure and the press
building .are close to" the head-
quarters. Also, close by, are two,
licensed bars offering a variety
of beverages from the softest to
the hardest, and, all served by
barmaids.
Bob Timbers' father, one of the
best plowmen in Canada,-was here
and I took him over to the prac-
tice field where the boys were
plowing. 4. I was unable to. stay
but they now had much better
Coach with them than I would
ever make. When they returned
that night they .reported that
they were ready for the big
match.
The-reason I couldn't stay with
the boys was that the World
Plowing Organization had arrang-
ed for a demonstration of plowing
by Bill de Lint of Holland. • All
the judges, picked from the com-
peting countries; were on hand 'to
watch and an interesting. discus-,
-sion on• rules and methods of
scoring took plate. The result
was that I telt that some prog-
ress had been made in reaching
uniformity in scoring. This is all-
important in world • ploWing
matches for each country seems
to have its own ideas of how it
should be done.
TomorroW the BritiSh National
match stts and it looks as
though it will be quite .an event.
The Worlds Plowing- Match starts
the following day and it hardly
seems possible ' that we' have
reached that point. The way time
flies the big match will, be over
and the world chainpion acclaim-
ed beftire I write the next letter.
The results will 0-have been pub-
lished - long before you see my
letter, but perhaps you will be
interested in a first hand account
of how the Canadian team fared.
