Calvin Robinson dies A farmer on the eighth conces­ sion of East Wawanosh Township for many years, William Calvin Robinson of RR 1, Belgrave, passed away at his home on Sunday, Sept. 28. Hewas in his 76th year. Anativeof East Wawanosh, Mr. Robinson was born there on March 2, 1911, son of the late Thomas Robinson and Maude Beadle. He was a member of Calvin Brick United Church. In 1940 Mr. Robinson married the form er Jean Pur don of West Wawanosh in Whitechurch. She survives to mourn his passing, as do two sons, Garry and his wife, Myrna, of London and Ray, RR 1, Belgrave. There are two grand- children, Sandee and Chantell of London; four brothers, George, Kitchener; Ross, Auburn; Mason, Wingham and Roy, RR 1, Belgrave and two sisters, Mrs. Lawrence (Margaret) Taylor, Belgrave and Ruth Coyne, Windsor. Funeral service for Calvin Ro­ binson was heldTuesday, Sept. 30, at two o’clock at The McBurney Funeral Home, Wingham, conduc- tedbyRev.JohnG. Roberts. He was carried to his final resting place in Wingham Cemetery by Leonard Robinson, Perrie Holmes, Bob Gordon, David Phillion, Cam­ eron Robinson and Bob Sinclair. Memorial floral arrangements were carried by Tom Robinson, Brian Jamieson, Phil Thompson and Steven Robinson. After being postponed for the second time because of pouring rain and soggy fields, the Huron County Plowing Match may yet happen this fall, with a little co-operation from Mother Nature. Peter Hallahan, of RR 3, Blyth, first vice-president of the Huron Plowmen’s Association, said last week that the Match could possibly be held by the end of October, if the weather clears up now and stays good until then. ‘ ‘There’s no sense in reschedul­ ing it any sooner, because if the weather does turn decent now, the farmers are going to be so busy nobody would have time to come, anyway”, he said. The event was originally plann- edatMurray Cardiff’s Brussels farm for the weekend of September 12-13, and postponed because of rain to last weekend, until the committee decided Thursday the fields were still too wet for the tractors. The plowmen’s associa­ tion would like to see the match take place for several reasons. No Queen of the Furrow has yet beenchosen, and if theplowing match does not take place this fall, the queen competition committee may decide to hold an evening dance and contest to select a winner, in the same manner as the county dairy princess is selected. Ideally, the queen should have as long a reign within her county as possible, before having to face the tough competition at the Interna­ tional Plowing Match next fall. As well, if no county match is held this fall, the local association will lose the $700 grant it gets from the Ontario Plowmen’s Associa­ tion to assist with the event. * ‘ But if we don’t hold a match, we won’t need the money,” Mr. Hallahan points out. Usually the two young competi­ tors with the highest accumulated points at the county match are chosen to go on to the IPM to vie for agricultural scholarships. But again, since the county match was not held, youths chosen at the 1985 county match went on to compete this year. The same people cannot compete a second time, but there areotherwaysinwhichthe 1987 competitors can be chosen, accord­ ing to Mr. Hallahan. ‘ ‘ One thing we are sure not short of, is ideas!” he said.
