V olun teers from the Belgrave area made quick work last week of taking off the steel on the Belgrave arena. By Wednesday afternoon all that was left for John Gaunt [left] and Glen Coultes was to load the steel on a wagon. Work began Monday on installing a new roof which is to be in place in time for the annual Belgrave fowl supper Oct. 8. 'Women at work' conference Plowing Match to try again this weekend A county-wide day-long confer­ ence called “Womenat Work” has been planned to meet the specific needs of women in Huron County, whether they are already working or actively seeking employment, according to Shelley Hartman, co-ordinator of the project. * ‘We are trying to identify the specific needs of women in this area, regarding employment is­ sues. Once priorities are identi­ fied , we will be in a situation where specific solutions may be possi­ ble,” said the Port Albert woman. She added that the information gathered at this conference will be included in a booklet to be published later this fall. On October 18, Women at Work will offer participants the oppor­ tunity to take part in two seminars of their choice, from a selection of ten workshops. Each session will be conducted in a manner which will allow all participants to take part by asking questions; in effect, the women themselves will deter­ mine the exact direction which the session will take, says Mrs. Hartman. Workshop leaders will come from several areas of expertise within Huron County, as well as from women’s organizations from farther afield, and from education­ al and restraining facilities across southwestern Ontario. Debbie Selkirk, a Dungannon- area child-care activist, will dis­ cuss current child-care issues of growing concern, while Susan White, formerly of Seaforth and now with Loyalist Community College in Belleville, will conduct a session on ‘‘Super Woman - Juggling a Home and Career.” John Gillespie, manager of the Canada Employment Centre in Goderich, will offer some insight into the future labour market in Huron County, while Sheila Chick will lead the seminar on non-tradi- tional employment for women. Seaforth lawyer Heather Ross will conduct a workshop on ‘‘Women - Discrimination and the Law,” where the Employment Standards Act will be an issue of discussion. Kim Coulter, co-ordinator for ‘‘Womanpower” in London will involve women who are interested in getting a job, or changing their present position, with her seminar “Job Search Skills,” and Cathy Joyce, from London's Women’s Community Enterprises, will lead the workshop on how to start and manage a small business. As well, representatives from the University of Western Ontario, Conestoga and Centralia Colleges, the Huron Board of Education, Adult Basic Education and Canada Employment Centre will be avail­ able to offer advice on educational and retraining opportunities for women within the county. The conference will be held at the Goderich High School. Work­ shops will run from 9:15 a.m. until 3:30p.m., witha break at which lunch is provided. The fee for the day is $10, and Mrs. Hartman urges anyone interested to register early, as space at each seminar will be limited.

Originally scheduled for the weekend of September 12-13, the event had to be cancelled because of bad weather, and was postponed until October 3-4. And if it doesn’t get under way this weekend, Mr. Hallahan says Huron County may be stuck for junior plowmen to send to the International Plowing Match in Grey County next year. Under the Plowmen’s Associa­ tion rules, two competitors from the youth classes at each county plowing match will be chosen to represent their county at the IPM, usually held later than the county matches. Since the IPM has already been held for 1986, Huron competitors were allowed to go on using the points gained at the 1985 county event; but this will leave Huron short of contestants at the 1987 IPM, since no contestant may compete for the same scholarship awards more than once. At the IPM held at Stirling September 16-20, William Fother- ingham, 17, and Murray Town­ send, 15, both of RR 4, Seaforth, won scholarships each worth $2,500, offered to IPM contestants who accumulate the most points in their division. Both boys qualified for the class with points won at the local match in 1985. If all goes well, the Huron Plowing Match will be held at Murray Cardiff’s farm, two roads north of Brussels and one mile east. The schedule will be the same as originally planned, with coach­ ing classes for young plowmen on Friday, and regular classes, com­ petitions and the Queen of the Furrow contest held Saturday. Mr. Hallahan said that the conservation tillage classes, sche­ duled for Saturday, may have to be cancelled if the ground is too wet for the plows, even if the rest of the show goes ahead. If the show is cancelled, the Association executive will have to decide whether to go ahead with the banquet and queen contest later this fall, in order to allow the chosen queen a year of local reign before having to compete at the international level in 1987.
