Mr. Martin, of the Ethel area, is chairman of the IPM demon- strations committee, and the annual plowing match, which is expected to attract about 250,000 to the Wingham area, has never had a domon- strations committee before. The committee has about 205 acres of land in the proximity of the tented city, .for farm equipment companies and dealers to demon- strate how their machinery works. There will be about 90 acres of grain corn which may or may not ,be ready for combining during the match, which will be held September 26 to 30 and there will be grain stubble to till, and there may be some corn silage to harvest. Huron County IPM committee members have met with the 1976 IPM committees from Bruce County and with the 1977 IPM Frontenac Committees, to get ad- vice on planning this 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 bet- ween the counties," he said: To date, Ed Starr, secretary -manager of the OPA, has been con- tacting farm implement companies to get them interested in the demonstrations at the match, and the local committee has been action. Even the OPA was a little wary about frying the demonstrations, Mr. Martin said, because much of the revenue brought in by the five-day plowing match is the rental of space in the 87 - acre tented city. OPA officials didn't want the demonstrations to let exhibitors think they could --be a part of the match free of charge. Because some machinery companies are still hesitant to be a part of the demon- strations, 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 companies like John Deere, White, McKee Bros., George White and Same will be represen- ted, Mr. Martin said. Because of the limited space, it is unlikely the demonstrations will be continuous, he said, and will probably be only at set times. The demon- strations will likely be held late in the morning or in early afternoon, Mr. Martin said, so some tractors and wagons which are used to take people between the tented city and their cars, can be spared to give rides to and from demon- strations. The demonstrations committee was formed after the Huron County Soil and Crop Improvement Association was ap- proached to help out with the new feature of the plowing match, Mr.. Martin said. He was vice- president of the associationn at the time and headed a committee to investigate how the group could help with the match. The soil and crop committee was then named one of the 23 IPM local committees. Members are Lawrence Taylor, of RR 1, Lon- desboro; Doug Cameron, RR 7, Lucknow; Jim Armstrong, RR , 4, Wingham; and,Mike Miller of Clinton wo acts as committee secretary. Mr. Martin admitted that committee members "didn't have much background on plowing match affairs" but said that each one is en- thusiastic about IPM '78, which is about the only prerequisite for helping with the match. Ted Johns is shown portraying Miss Heartwright, one of the half dozen characters in his one man play, "The School Scandal", also known as the "The School Show." The play opens at the Blyth Summer Festival on August 1. The play about the recent teachers' strike in Huron County is written and performed by Ted Johns from a scenario developed by Paul Thompson of Theatre Passe Muraille. The play is staged by Clarke Rogers. There are only eight performances of the school show through the month of August, from the 1st to the 22nd of the month. ly f r ft. CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, JULY 27, 1978—PAGE 15 New line fences act proposed W. Darcy McKeough, Treasurer of Ontario, wants to hear from all residents of Ontario in- terested in the proposed 1978 Line Fences Act. The Act was introduced by Mr. , McKeough, Minister of In.te 'governmental Affairs, in June. "The Government looks forward to receiving and discussing comments and recom- mendations for changes to this Bill over the summer months, and to consideration by the Legislature in the fall," said Mr. McKeough. The major reason for the new act is the need to provide a simpler and quicker method for settling fencing disputes in both rural and urban - areas. A line fence is a legal term which applies to a fence built on a boundary line between two properties. The proposed act, if passed, will replace the current Line Fences Act which has been in existence since 1913. However, the whole issue of line fences and the Neil Armstrong to open Plowing Match The man whb took "one small step" in 1969 will officially open the 1978 International Plowing Match in Huron County. Neil Armstrong, spacecraft commander for Apollo 11, the first man to land and walk on the moon, will open this year's match at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, September 26. The site is the Jim Armstrong Farm,' one mile east of Wingham on Highway 86. Organizers are very pleased that Armstrong, now professor of engineering at the University of Cincinnati, has accepted the in- vitation to participate in this year's show. The achievement of Appollo 11 was indeed "a giant step for mankind" and the world has benefitted immeasurably from the technology developed to put a man on the moon. Agriculture has been a great benefactor. The technology of the space age can be found in almost every aspect of farming.

Acts were sub- sequesntly passed in 1834, 1845, 1859, 1868, and 1874 respecting the line fences with the 1913 act really reenacting the 1874 legislation. Since then, there have been only minor amendments. Under the proposed act, the distinction bet- ween occupied and unoccupied lands is being removed. Moreover a line fence will only be man- datory where one ad- joining owner wants a fence. If the two owners cannot reach an agreement, one owner may simply notify the clerk of the local municipality that . he wants the fence -viewers to arbitrate the dispute. If, however, the municipal council has passed a by-law providing that the clerk is not to be involved, the owner will have to arrange the arbitration himself as with the present act. It is also proposed that the options of the fence - viewers in making the award be clarified and broadened, • and that an appeal from the fence - viewers' award by either owner be heard in small claims court, rather than county or district court. Another proposal is for a revision of the en- forcement ; and cost recovery procedures. If one owner fails to obey small claims court: Also, in addition to the methods in the current act, it is proposed that if the municipal council passes a by-law, one owner may collect the funds owed, by the defaulting owner, from the municipal treasurer. The municipality will then collect the amount from the defaulting owner as taxes with in- terest.
