PARKING FEE ONLY
SOURCE OF REVENUE
AT INTERNATIONAL
Two Seaforth Men Will Look After
This Big Job
The money received in parking fees
at the International Plowing Match,
will be an important item, in fact it
will be the only source of revenue for
the local directors of the Match. It's
not a surprise,• therefore, to find that
two canny bankers from the Town of
Seaforth have been selected to keep
their eyes. on the parking fees.
E, C. "Ned" Boswell and J.M. "Joe"
McMillan are to superintend the task
of seeing that the money collected at
the parking lots gets desposited safely
in the vaults of their respective banks.
The only trouble shish might arise
will be deciding which bank gets the
cash. Ned and Jim are both managers
of local banks and at latest reports it
seems that they will divide the money
evenly at the end of each day.
Both Boswell and McMillan have
the interests of farming at heart. Be-
tween them they know the ins and
outs of the hardships sustained by
fartnets during the past number of
years and' they both have strong feel-
ings in the matter of farming being
placed on a sounder basis. They both
feel that the educational aspects of
the International Plowing Match will
do much to help- farming in general.
Financially the Huron County Plow-
ing Match CoMmittee is on a very
sound basis. In addition to seeing
that the parking fees are collected and
banked, the two "Watch Dogs of the
Treasurery" are keeping their, eyes
peeled in all financial matters affect-
ing the Matach. Ned Boswell and Joe
McMillan are doing their share to
assure the success of the 1942 Inter-
national Plowing Match when it is
held in Huron County on October 13,
14, 15, and 16.
