By match time, the clover was about eight inches high and competition took place on a sod -like field. For the first time in history horses were missing from the Perth Match. Treasurer Ed Doerr, R.R. 5, Stratford, said that "due to the very high cost of liability in- surance, the horse classes had to be dropped." On Friday, classes for Perth 4-H were held. Sixteen young people gave judge Norm Perriman a tough time due to the close placing of these lands. The winner of the John Stephens Trophy was Gor- don Aitcheson, St. Pauls. The six 4-H prize winners were: Gordon Aitcheson, St. Pauls; Robert Levy, St. Marys; Jeff Sykes, Mitchell; John Poel, St. Marys; Don Hamilton, St. Marys; and Scott Frances, Mitchell.
