Every time there's an
International Plowing Match
in an area, there's a home
improvement contest to coin-
cide with the match.
Betty Stafford, secretary of
the Huron County Federation
of Agricul ure's farm add
home improvement commit-
tee said the idea is to adorn
the area for the thousands of
plowing match visitors.
This year, the contest to
spruce up. farm and urban
homes in Huron County has
drawn 139 entries, including
four from McKillop Township
and one from Tuckersmith
Township.
Grey Township has the
most entries in Huron — 17.
Unfortuately, the response
from urban home owners has
been poor, and Mrs. Stafford
said there is likely only one
contest entrant who could be
classed as an urban dweller.
The reason for the poor
response from people in
towns in the county maybe
that federation officials
found the best way to get
people to enter the contest
was to phone them personal-
ly. ,
