The champion and runner-up will travel to Sweden in 1955 to compete for the world plowing championship. Competition in this class will be the high point of the forty- first annual International PIqw- ig Match, to he held for four Garages Sunday and Evening Service Open this Sunday, Wednes­ day afternoon, and during the evenings throughout the week: Sunoco Service Station ■ ....... ... .......... .. ...............—1 11 Hollow Tree Gift Shop Artificial Flowers = that look real will brighten = = your home and give you “a = | lift”. | = We have dahlias, zinnias, = 1 asters, daisies, roses, mock | | orange, fern, sumach, be- j | gonia, and grape leaves. = 1 PRICED FROM | I 15p A SPRAY UP I ■ i ■ ■ i ■ i r ■ >i 1111«11111 > i > ■ ■ i > ■ i ii ■ < ■ i> < i > ■ i ■ 11 r 11111 ■ ■ 11 ■ i <i ■ ■ I ■ t'7 days beginning October 12 at Breslau, near Kitchener, Ont. This year's match is expected to attract even more plowmen than the 700 who competed jn various events last year, and arrange­ ments are underway to accomo­ date more than 150,000 spectat­ ors. Sponsored By O.P.A. The Ontario Plowmen's As­ sociation, sponsors of the match, have already received entries from British Columbia and Man­ itoba; and they expect competi­ tion for the Esso Silver Plow, which is provided by Imperial Oil Ltd., to come also from teams representing Ontario, Prince Ed­ ward Island, Nova Scotia and Quebec. Each province is allowed to enter a two-man team. This year’s Canadian champ­ ionship will automatically mean the crowning of a new champion, Since 1953 Canadian champion Robert Timbers, 27', of Stouff- yille, Ont., will be in Killarney, Eire, competing in the 1954 world championship as a team­ mate of James Eccles, 34, of Brampton, Ont., who won the world championship last year at Cobourg, Ont. Youngest To Compete The youngest plowman ever to compete in the Canadian champ­ ionship will be a Manitoba repre­ sentative at the Kitchener match. He is 14-year-old Gerald Lyttle of High Bluff, Man., who became western Canada plowing champ­ ion at Portage la Prairie, Man., last June. His teammate will be A.. Webiski. British Columbia challengers will be Henry Thom­ son aud Don Hickman of Chilli­ wack. Interest is also mounting in the Esso class competition, in which gold medals go to champ­ ions in both tractor and horse plowing, and silver medals go to reserve champions. As part of their prize, the two gold medal­ ists and team manager will make a trip, as guests of Imperial Oil, to another part of Canada, at a time to be decided by plowing authorities. Last year’s Esso class winners, Joe Tran of Claremont, Ont,, and Harold Nixon of Hagersville, Ont., tractor and horse plowmen respectively, travelled to Portage la Prairie, Man., last June, and took part in plowing competition there. In the dark, many a man built like a rock tries to be a little boulder.* * * * Aboard ship when he ordered his meals he had the waiter throw them overboard. He was tired of always being middleman.

CREDITON P.O. Of PHONE 13-3 BUSY HENSALL INDUSTRY — General Coach Works of Canada Ltd., at Hensall, has increased production by about 30 percent this summer to supply a growing demand for mo­ bile homes. The average production during the summer was 30 units a month. The firm now employs some 40 men to manufacture a line of homes ranging from 28 feet to 42 feet. Four of the men are shown working on a model here. They are Donald McKaig, Gordon Harkness., George Parker and Ernie Chipchase, general foreman. ■—-T-A Photo Trailer Industry At Hensall —Continued from Page 1 comes the installation of plumb­ ing, finishing of the cabinet work, applying the aluminum sheeting and preparation for the finishing. Both inside and out­ side surfaces receive three coats of paint before the unit moves to the finishing room where light fixtures, furniture, appli­ ances, drapes, curtains and all the appointments are made. Then comes the final inspection be­ fore the home is released to the dealer. Along the assembly line, which extends 200 feet, over 1,000 dif­ ferent items ranging from finish­ ing -nails to heaters are installed into one of the mobile homes. The extent of the material is shown by this list of ingredients: 3 6 sheets of plywood; 528 feet of uprights; 100 feet of formed steel (2”x 5” boxed channel iron); 177 feet of 2x4 flooring; “Sorry, we just ain't got anything open as yet’’” S sheets of underlay sheeting for floor; 235 squares of linoleum; 300 feet of wiring; etc, etc. Weigh Three Tons The average weight of the unit is 6,000 pounds but it is so engineered that only 600 pounds is placed on the car or whatever tows it. Each coach has electric brakes operated from the car and carries directional signals for safety on the road. Sales for the General Coaches are made by dealers spotted throughout the nation, The ter­ ritories of the individual dealers vary from one entire province to a radius of 50 miles. Largest market is in Ontario and the west. Customers are ser­ vice personnel, hydro or construc­ tion workers, young married stu­ dents and all types of construd- tion workers who must move, from job to job. Seaway Provides Market The Hensall manager believes the St. Lawrence Seaway will provide a large market for the homes. Construction workers find the units ideal for such operations where they are re­ quired in one spot for a certain time and then are moved to an­ other. The expansion in the mobile home industry is due to the growth in popularity of the homes and the acceptance of them by the public. No longer is the mobile home dweller considered a wandering gypsy. Statistics show that owners have a larger income than average and that they are interested in the com­ munity and willing to pay their share of the community’s taxes. Construction of parks for mo­ bile trailer homes in Canada and the development of new legislation which allows commun­ ities to tax the homes has helped to overcome municipal resistance. The Hensall firm, started two- and-one-hal£ years ago by Nor­ man St. Cyr, of Ilderton, was purchased one year ago this month by General Coach Works Incorporated of Marlette, Mich. Two additions to the plant have been made. Assisting Manager Smith with the operation of the plant is Superintendent Carlysle William­ son, Accountant Charles Fiford, Inspector Jim Taylor and Gene­ ral Foreman Ernie Chipchase. Mrs. Betty Flear is the secretary. Employees include: Murray Venner, Hensall; Anthony Shar- rette, Exeter; Julias Kovacs, Ro­ bert Mennell, Tunus Berends, Murray Baker, Alex Zarembiv, Donald McCaig, Jan Juetter, Peter Reisma, Bruce Moir, Arthur Parker, E.
