Horseshoeing and Horse Show
Other features of this year's Inter-
national that will further pV0'i•e^ that
the horse is not on its way „out are
the demonstrations of horseshoeing, an
art that many people feel is fast be-
coming , one of the lost arts of the
world, and the horse show.: At this
show will be seen the 'various types
of horses that have proved .themselves
Oiliest- indispensable to the farmer who
1
silos found that the viewpoint )
t lie d l y
Prof. Me -Ewan is true; that there are
many aspects of the farm work "trial
can be, and are, done more cheaply by
horses than 'by' power machinery.
No matter whether you (tire a farmer
or not, you'll find there"444 plenty to
interest everyone at a plowing match.
'There will be many 're -unions at this
year's "Victory Match," which is being'
held at the Port Albert airfield 'on the
Blue Water Highway in Huron county:
Many who pioneered the county and
many who first saw the light of day
here will be taking advantage of the
International to -rhea'- their home
eonnty 'and renew acquaintances that
piny have been overlooked ^during the
more recent years. There will be
plenty of space for the parking of ears,
so, you are asked to accept this as an
invitationfrom the committee of the
19-46 Iwtter la tihr'11 Plowing Mateh to
come ott1 to the:Poi't Albert airfield on
