Threshers Reunion,
is success
Rev. Ken Innes of Brussels
and. Doug McIntosh of
Embro were the winning
team in the belt setting
competition for gas tractors
held at the Blyth Thresher-
' men's Reunion on Saturday.
Their time, which involved
setting the threshing
machine from transport
position to threshing position
and having it turn at full
RPM, was two minutes and
fifteen seconds.
There' is something special
about a steam engine. Stoke
them up and people will
come for miles to see them
sputter, chug and blow great
clouds of steam out as they
creep along the track at
Blyth.
This weekend large.crowds
of 3,000 people per • day
enjoyed the 16th annual meet
of the Huron Pioneer Thresh-
ers and Hobby Association.
The crowds viewed the
steam engines on display and
watched the many demon-
strations put on by engines
that have been kept in
perfect condition. The
demonstrations ranged from
shingle mills, circular saws
to corn blowers.
"The good weather ,,was
definitely an asset" reported
Ken Innes of Brussels,one of
the organizers for the event..
"I heard people saying it was
the best reunion yet that they
had been to."
More than 400 antique
machinery owners were on
hand to show ' off their
machines. This,is an increase
$11 ;000
for IPM-

Additional projects ap-
proved under the Canada
Work program have been
announced by McKinley
