All seven members of the team and horse show com- mittee either show horses at competitions, or have shown them, Mr. Aitchison said. Glenn Johnston, Fordwich; Sam Pletch, Belgrave; Bob Aitchison, Lucknow; Tommy Leiper, Londesboro; Tom Penhale, Bayfield; and Arn- old Young, Goderich, are all members of the committee, under Mr. Aitchison's lead- ership. He shows his Belg- ians at competitions. The committee has secur- ed space for horses in several barns near the match site, and Mr. Aitchison said area farmers, especially Murray Jenkins, have been quite co-operative in providing room for the show and plow horses. The committee prov- ides hay and straw for plow horses, he noted, and makes hay and straw available to owners of horses 'at' the match only for promotion or the parade. Some horses will be stay- ing in' the tented city and won't need accommodation at a neighbouring barn. A number of feed and seed companies use horses in their displays in the tented city, Mr. Aitchison said. Though committee work takes quite a bit of his time and even money, Mr. Aitch- ison is proud to be part of this year's match, which is expected to attract 250,000 people September 26 to 30. "It's really an honour to participate in a thing like this, in our part of the country," he said. This year's plowing match is the first time IPM has come to this end of the county in his lifetime "and I don't expect I'll ever see it again, in this area," he said. Spinners and Weavers....

PORSCHE Hans Gramlich built his 1973 Porsche in his garage by combining styles from different cars and designing the car himself. There is no other car in the world like his. It has a Porsche frame, chassis and suspension, but, the doors, body, built in roll cage, and aluminum bucket seats of a uniform design so they won't collapse on impact, are his own design. Gramlich who is a welder and a sheet metal mechanic worked on the car for two years and finished it in 1976. The car has a flat six dual overhead cam, six carburetors, a 2 point 2-9-11 F engine, 1971 model, and a five speed transmission.
