SOLOIST PERFORMS - Susan V.onDerSpeck Woodham performs her rendition of Second Hand Wednesday night's juvenile contest at the Kirkton party. - Photo by For first time Demonstration group for IPM By DAVE DINEEN • Though chairmen of the . other -22 International Plowing Match local com- mittees have- experienced Ontario Plowmen's Associa- tion (OPA) representatives and committee chairmen from past years to help them. Don Martin is almost aloqe in planning his com- mittee's work. Mr. Martin, of the Ethel area. is chairman of the IPM demonstrations com- mittee, and the annual plow- ing match, which is ex- pected to attract about 250,- 000. to the Wingham area. has never had a demonstrations committee before. The committee has about" 205 acres of land in the prox- imity of the tented city. for farm equipment companies and dealers to demonstrate how their machinery -works. There will be about 90 acres of grain corn which may or may not be ready for com- bining during the match. which will be held Sept. 26 to 30. and there will be grain stubble to till. and there may be some corn silage to harvest. Huron County IPM com- mittee members have met with the 1976 IPM com- mittees from Bruce County and with the . 1977 IPM Frontenac County com- mittees. to get advice on planning thi's year's match, but when the counties met, Mr. Martin couldn't get much advice. "There just doesn't seem to be anyone to talk to at the meetings between the coun- ties." he said. To date. Ed Starr. secretary -manager of the OPA, has been contacting Farm implement -companies to get them interested in the demonstrations at the march, ,and the- local con-- mittee •Meas been setting aside five to 11Pacres of lafi!')' for'each.• - Mr. Marlin said machinery companies have been less than eager to par • - ticipate in the demonstrations. - "I guess they are afraid it may turn into a com- petition." he said. The demonstrations. he noted. are simply to give plowing match visitors a chance to see the various types of machinery in action. Even the OPA was a little wary about trying the demonstrations. Mr. Martin said. because much of the revenue brouglIt in by the five-day plowing match is the rental of space in the 87 - acre tented city. OPA of- ficials didn't want the demonstrations to let ex- hibitors thinks they could be a part of the match free of charge. . -Because some machinery companies are still hesitant to be a part of the demonstrations. though the demonstration lots are given to exhibitors free. the -local committee still isn't sure what the companies- will be displaying. or even which companies are par- ticipating. Some large com- panies like John Deere. White. McKee Bros.. George White -and Same will be represented. Mr. Martin said. Because of the limited space. it is unlikely the demonstrations will be con- tinuous. he said, and will probably be only at set times. The demonstrations will likely be held late in the morning or in early after- noon. Mr. Martin said. so some tractors , and wagons which are used to take peo- ple between the tented city and their cars. can be spared to give rides .to and from demonstrations. The demonstrations com- mittee was formed after the Huron County Soil and Crop Improvement -Association was approached to help out with the new feature of the plowing match, Mr. Martin said. He was vice-president of the association at the time and headed a com- lnfttee to investigate how the group could help wiih the match. ' The soil and crop com- mittee was then named one of the 23 IPM local cdm- miltees. Members are Lawrence Taylor. RR 1 Londesboro: Doug Cameron. RR 7 Lucknow: Jim Armstrong. RR 4 ---Wingham: and Mike Miller of Clinton. who.acts as com- mittee secrefarv. Mr. Martin admitted that committee members , RR Rose at Gorden Bedford didn't have much background- on plowing match affairs" but said that each one is enthusiastic about IPM '78. which is about the only prerequisite for helping with the match. - DOG PERFORMS — OPP Constable Glenn O'Rourke and his trained dog Baron put on a special demonstration at the re- cent Boom's Camp at Pine lake.

SkiIIedtrades to start'in grade nine "'Training for skilled trades should begin in Grade 9 and should be planned with direct input from industry:" says the llonourable harry C. Parrott, DDS. Minister of Colleges and Universities. Closer co-operation bet- ween schools and industry is one of the Minister's goals following his attendance at a Paris meeting about vocational education and training held by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)... Dr. Parrott, as vice- chairman of the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada;- headed the - Canadian delegation to the meeting from July 4-6. "Industry must define precisely the skills it needs and educators must ensure these skills are included in secondary and post- secondary training programs. - I)r. Parrott said. - At the Paris meeting, 26 member countries of OECD tabled papers describing. their vocational training practices. "These papers are an invaluable record of in- dustrial training experience in other countries," Dr. Parrott said. " We will.pay particular attention to the German and Austrian systems where the linkage between industry and the secondary schools ii much tighter." The papers -will be tabled by Dr.. Parrott at the next meeting of the Council . of Ministers - of --EducaHon; • Canada. "They reveal striking similarities between the social, economic and jurisdictional difficulties faced by Canada and those faced by other OECD member countries," Dr. Parrott said.
