Trailer parks were filled for IPM of the staff makes up for that inconvenience. "The only big downfall was that you couldn't get the trailers beside the IPM," said Fiank. Frank said it still isn't a deterrent because people will come to camp regardless of the distance between the site and the trailers. The group said the IPM this year is comparable in size as other years. Claudette said she spent half of a day looking through the women's tents. Other things they enjoyed were.... "Those dogs running up the sheep...I love those dogs," said Leona. Byers said the committee is really pleased with the results of the trailer park but said she would :change just one thing. "We'd make the Tots • bigger. Some of these trailers are humongous!" The trailers camped on the 55 acres owned by Gerald Wilhelm. by Tracey Doerr BRANT TOWNSHIP—The International Plowing Match started drawing its camping crowd five days before the match even.began. Over 930 trailers could be seen at the trailer park until Wednesday when the mud came and, some of the trailers went. "Mud is the only thing we don't like," said Nellie Byers, secretary of the trailer park committee. Some campers came from as far as Alberta, Charolettetown and Indiana. Byers said 325 preregistered for the full five days while daily campers had to wait in line for their sites. • People lined up at 7:15 a.m. waiting for trailers to leave a site so they could get serviced Tots." The trailer park, located about a half kilometre north of tented city, had 516 serviced sites and unlimited space for unserviced camping. Byers said although most campers came in tent trailers, buses and motor homes, one couple arrived Thursday with a .tent. The 16 committee members kept busy checking in campers and checking locations of sites for visitors. Campers were entertained nightly by local musicians in a large tent at the front of the trailer park. Byers said people used their lawnchairs to stake out a spot in the early morning so they'd have a good place to sit that night. "People are really happy with the trailer park. Some were disappointed it wasn't adjacent to the site as it was last year." Byers said a tractor and trailer was at the trailer park constantly to take campers to the IPM site. Four campers from Staffa, located near Mitchell, have been following the IPM around for more than eight years. The group do not farm but they ,do love to camp. Camping with the IPM is a "wind up" of camping they do each fall. Frank, Claudette, Leona and Reg Elliott said this year's trailer park was a little far from the 1PM site, but Claudette said the friendliness Lucknow ;. \TiHagviarkct. . %NECMEI LUCKNOW ' 528-3001 We Reserve The Right To Limit OUantltles To Normal Family Raoul:entente J Congratulations and Good Luck to Wendy Van Osch in the Super Summer Car Draw this .Sunday October 3, 1993 ' REDPATH 2 Kg White Sugar ,9 • ...GROCERY STOKELY e Assorted Varieties 12 oz /14 oz Tin ■ 59 Vegetables KNECHTEL • Chilled 2 Litre Jug Orange Juice. . 9 MAJESTIC 2 Ply 16 Roll Pkg.

Nearly 8,000 years old, the remains of the forest 'were dis- covered beneath the waters of Geor- gian Bay along the shore of the Bruce. Peninsula. Comprised of eastem white cedar, the afea has been "the playground for a choice few scuba divers for more than a decade," according to a report in the Toronto Star. Mr. Ritchie heard a radio news report of a search by University of Guelph scientists for ancient sub- merged forests last spring. Guelph botanist Doug Larson was "stunned" when he heard that Mr. Ritchie new of such a forest. Mr. Larson was quoted as saying, "They'd been bumping into these things for years. It was a curiosity. They used to take their friends out and show them." Mr. Ritchie and Alan Givens, the owner of a Wiarton dive shop, collected small samples from the forest in June. Radiocarbon testing at the Univer- sity of Toronto determined the samples were 7,660 years old with a margin of error of 50 years either way. According to the report, it is belived the drowned forest grew at a time when glaciers were retreating and blocked the flow of water to the Great Lakes. Water levels dropped more than 30 metres (100 feet) below the current level. Similar discoveries of underwater forests have been made in Lake Michigan near Chicago and at the top of Lake Huron on the U.S. side. Mr. Larson said the discovery•will contribute to scientists ability to reconstruct the history of Great Lakes water level fluctuations.
