THE Pt-OWING MATCH SUPPLEMENT
Housing the visitors at the IPM
By Debbie Ranney
There are obviously not
enough hotels or. motels in.
Huron County within a 30
mile radius of the Inter-
national Plowing Match to
acconiodate the overflow of
visitors expected. That's why
billeting committee for
the Match is doing its best to,
find priv,ate homes for the
out-of-towners,
On the committee are
Don and Vi McKay and Don
and Yvonne Carter from
VVingham, Walter and Jean
Willits from Turnberry, Mur-
ray and Joyce Vincent from
East Wawanosh and Bert
and Isabelle Garniss from
Morris. Geroge Underwood
is the committee chairman.
Most of the hotels and
motels within a 30 mile
radius were booked by about
Christmas time and major
companies have chosen to
find accommodations as far
away as Stratford,
Kitchener, London, Port
Elgin and Southampton.
Meanwhile the billeting
committee has tried to get
representatives from the
smaller companies set up in
private home, Mr. Under-
wood said. These companies
are given a list of which
homes will offer room and
board or just a room and then
it's up to them to call and
arrange the accommodations
themselves.
10 Mile Radius
Mr. Underwood says the
committee is trying to keep
the private homes within a
ten mile radius of the
plowing match site. As those
run out, he said there is a
possibility they will go out-
side that radius. He added
that they have had offers
ftnm as far away as. Exeter.
If accommodation ' is
needed for four or five people
who need to be close to-
gether, Mr. Underwood said
they will try to get two homes
within close proximity of
each other.
Contestants
The Queen of The Furrow
contestants are also going to
be installed in priVate homes
en one street in Wingham
twill be within about one
blocil, of each other.
It is impossible at this
point to tell how many people
have made arrangements for
accommodation, But the pro-
spective visitors to the Match
do come from all over, The
committee has had callers
from Owen. Sound, Quebec,
Michigan, Florida and King-
skin,
At the moment the com-
mittee has a list of about 100
priv atehomes in which they
can put visitors,
