UPROOTS TREE
A tree was uprooted at the home of Gary Austin, Lucknow,
and fell across a garage which was being constructed next to
the Austin home.
The wind also blew over a chimney on the roof of Loree's
Lades - Wear.
Adrian Keet of R. R. 3 Wingham, narrowly escaped injury
when an empty 10 ton grain bin, blown by the, wind, walked
along the ground and fell over onto the tractor he was sitting '
on
POWER FAILURE
Ontario Hydro, Walkerton, said the power failure was
caused when the severe wind storm broke off trees and put
them through the lines at Walkerton and between Teeswater
and Wingham.
Hydro crews replaced broken cross arms and spliced lines
to restore the power about 11.30 p.m.
The hydro power was turned off at noon on Sunday, July
30, for relocation of lines north of Kinlough, because of the
construction on Bruce County Road 1. Hydro also did
maintenance work at the rural feeders at the sub -station south
of Lucknow, and maintenance between Holyrood and
Kinlough and at the station at Holyrood.
The hydro crew work went smoothly and they were able to
turn the power on ahead of schedule at 4.30 p.m. Hydro had
expected the work to take until 6 p.m.
The power went out for a third time this week on Sunday
evening between 11.00 p.m. and midnight, when a car hit a
pole, west of Riversdale.
First man on moon to
open Ploughing Match
The man who took "one
small step" in 1969 will
officially open the 1978 Inter-
national Plowing Match in
Huron County.
Neil Armstrong, space-
craft commander for Appollo
II, the first man to land and
walk on the moon, will open
this year's match at 2 p.m.
on Tuesday, September 26.
The site is the Jim Arm-
strong Farm, one mile east of
Wiingham on Highway 86.
Organizers are very please
ed that Armstrong, - now
professor of engineering at
the University of Cincinnati,
has accepted the invitation to
participate in this .year's
show. The achievement of
Appollo II was indeed "a
giant step for mankind" and
the world has benefitted
immeasurably from the tech-
nology developed to put a
man on the moon',
Agriculture has been a
great benefactor. The tech-
nology of the space age can
be found hi almost every
aspect of farming. Sophistic-
ated electronics monitor
seeding and harvest from the
tractor seat while satellites
map weather systems and
chart crop progress. Food
processing and packaging
techniques inspired by the
demands of space explora-
tion, have opened new mark-
ets and marketing ideas for
agricultural production.
There are few exhibitions
where the progress in agri-
culture which evolved from
the space program is more
obvious than the Internation.
al Plowing Match and Farm
Machinery Show. Over 500
exhibitors will be on hand to
show the latest new and
imaginative developments in
agriculture. Alongside them
will be displays from the past
showing where we have been
and glimpses of the future,
predicting where we will be.
It is most fitting that Prof.
Armstrong will open the 1978
International.
Remember the dates,
September 26 to 30 near
Wingham in Huron Cou?ty.
