A better living in any language International CREDIT UNION DAY Thursday, October 20 Charles E. White, President Huron District Credit Union Chapter Congratulations to the Huron District Credit Union Chapter of Credit Unions on this 19th annual celebration of International Credit Union Day all over the World. In these days of strife and hardship in many parts of the world it should give Credit Union members a feeling of pride to know we are part of a movement that is helping to heal the pangs of poverty and economic distress through the development of the Credit linibn philosophy of self help and co-operation in many emerging nations. The theme of this year's celebration "better living in any language" tells the Credit Union story simply and accurately. This year the whole month of October has been designated world extension month, in recognition of the work carried on by the world extension department CUNA International, the worldwide association of Credit Unions,. Through the world extension department, individual Credit Unions and leagues have brought the benefit of the wise use of credit to many people throughout the world. Our own league is contributing to this work through the promotion of the Kenya project. In Canada we have many things we can be grateful for. We have the highest percentage of Credit Union members in the world (21 percent) and in our own province of Ontario last year we added 100,000 new members, the greatest increase in our history, for a total of 803,000. As we reflect on the blessingS we enjoy we are constantly reminded of the tragic economic inequality and mares inhumanity to man, at home and abroad. Therefore it is a grave responsibility for us who believe in the brotherhood of man to make sure we do everything in our power to make the 1966 international Credit Union day "a better living in any langtage" become a reality and not a dream, Donald Bell, President Ontario Credit Union League LOGE X PO L your business ready for expansion?

In fact, it resulted in a boom for a couple of enterprising outfits who went into the merchandising of rubber boots.

T-A photo The 1966 International Plowing Match concluded Saturday on the same note on which it had com- menced and that was sour, It rained Saturday, just as it had opening day on Tuesday, and every day after with the excep- tion of Friday, In fact, Satur- day had only been added after rain cancelled many of the events listed for the opening day. Oddly enough, despite the fact most patrons had to wade through ankle-deep mud, the 1966 event at Seaforth may not be listed as a disaster as far as gate re- ceipts go. Officials report that about 47,- 000 persons attended the five- day event and this compares favorably with most years. In fact, one man said he thought it was better than last year's at- tendance when good weather pre- vailed. This proves beyond any doubt that the event would have been the best on record with a break from the weather. As it is, it may go down as a record setter — for the most miserable con- ditions yet. That's saying quite a bit, considering that the Inter- national was touched by some of Hurricane Hazel's wrath a few years ago. Officials reported last week that an attendance of 50,000 was required to break even, but Ag- ricultural Representative Doug Miles explained early this week that the financial picture would not be clear for at least another week, Unfortunately, the poor con- ditions cut attendance, but added to some of the expenses of the lo- cal committee. More lands had to be rented when some became impossible to park on, and ad- ditional tractors had to be sup- plied to pull spectators' cars out of the mud. “I've never seen a match like Exeter Farm Equipment Exeter, Ontario. they noted that spectators didn't stay as long. Concession operators—mostly church and service groups from Huron weren't too disappoint- ed. With close to 50,000 people and all the exhibitors and local committee members, they man- aged to do well at their booths. People still had to eat and per- haps appetites were even bigger due to the energy people expend- ed plowing through the mud, The corn land day attracted between 1,500 and 2,000 people on Friday. Generally, the exhibitors were happy with the enthusiasm of the — Please turn to page 20 Coffee break After serving many visitors to the Kongskilde exhibit at the Inter- national with a warming cup of coffee, Orval Roland is getting one for himself from co-worker, Mrs. Ken Bridges.

While officials were naturally disappointed over the weather conditions, comments indicate the event certainly wasn't a flop. Some exhibitors were very happy with the number of people they had in their tents, adding that most were happy to stay and chat.
