Messers Jack and Al Corbett enjoyed a fishing CLINTON NEWS-REC Plowing Match plagued by rain, mud Howard Uatars of Dash- wood hope the rain lets up by next September, but he's not too sure it will. Standing ankle-deep in mud Friday at the 1977 Inter- national Plowing Match near Kingston, he just shook his head and prayed -that next year's match nQar W ingham in Huron County gets a better break from the weather. As chairman of the Huron County organizing com- mittee, he's already worrying about' potential mud problems in 1978 at the tented city wlj)ich will he located on the farm of Jim Armstrong. "This mud just has to be a supreme disappointment for the organizers of this year's ,match," he said. "T -here's at least five years' preparation goes into each one of these (plowing matches)." The last Match held in Huron, near Seaforth in 1966, was also plagued by rain, sleet and snow, which turned the grounds into a sea of mud. Various county plowmen's groups have to apply five years in advance to give them lead time to pick a site and arrange for such services as hydro, telephones and ac- commodation. c- commodation. And for the next five years, four Southwestern Ontario counties will play host to the match, which has been running for 64 years. They are, in 1978, Huron; 1979, Kent; 1980, Oxford; 1981, Simcoe: and 1982, Middlesex. About the only entrepreneurs doing a thriving business at this year's match were the rubber hoot salesmen, many of them teen:agers, who set up shop on opening day Tuesday at the entrance to holiday at Kincardine this , week., Rev. Fox of Huron College London conducted Com- munion Service in Carmel Presbyterian Church,on Sunday. Miss Brenda Peper presided at the organ..Rev.

"The kids have been having a riot," said Lee Allison of the Ontario agriculture ministry. "But I don't envy the teachers....Kids are jumping off wagons into the mess and having mud fights." Because of the desperate condition of the tented city, officials ha ve found mora people attending the plowing matches compared with past years. The reason given is that the fields have not -bean as churned up as the ground at the tented city. Roy Pattison 9f RR;3, W ingha m, vice-chairman of the Huron plowing group, thinks, he knows how to prevent some of the mud problems next year, if there Stanley rec. news continued from page 6 chairman Don Brodie in charge. Now that the 1977 summer ball season is over, the committee would like to express their thanks to all the coaches, assistant coaches, umpires, those who kept the diamond in such excellent shape, and all those who volunteered their evenings to drive to out-of-town games. Of course, a special thank you goes to Ross and Nancy Whittaker who co-ordinated the whole season's ball ac- tivities. Without these people, who devoted so much of their time, the ball season would not have been the success that i"t was. , are similar downpours then. He contends that much of this year's problems 'resulted from_ exhibitors using main tented'' city thoroughfares in setting up their booths, thus making a ' bog before the match even began. ."We'll have them use the service arteries behind the exhibits, rather than the streets out front where people v,alk," he said. ' Although . some exhibitors at the far reaches of the 100 - acre tented city this year are complaining about lack of pedestrian traffic, they aren't all fed up. "The farmers that are interested are plodding through to our booths," said' one exhibitor at the most southerly boundary of the tented city. The peewee boys won the Inter -Township cham- pionship trophy under the coaching of Dan Taylor - Congratulations!
