Ladies important to plowing match
BY DAVE DINEEN
If anyone thinks the
International Plowing
Match is just for farm
men who like to look over
new machinery, see
demonstrations and
spend a day away from
the farm, there is a lot
more to it than that.
A ' lot of activities,
displays and com-
petitions have been
organized to keep,
women busy, ladies'
program committee
chairperson Carol
Armstrong of RR 4,
Wingham, said recently.
In fact, the committee
will probably have the
largest covered area in
the entire 87 -acre tented
city.
The ladies' program
which will include
numerous activities and
displays of interest to
men, will be held in two 50
by 100 foot tents and a
building of the same size.
The building will house
40 to 50 crafts people who
will display their wares,
and will feature quilts
made by Huron County
residents competing in
the plowing match
quilting contest.
'The, ladies' committee
organized the com-
petition, which is for the
best quilt depicting the
nature of IPM '78.
Judging of the quilts
takes place at the
Ministry of Agriculture
and Food office in
Clinton, September 18, so
the winning quilts will
already have been
selected by the time they
are on display at the
match, Mrs. Armstrong
said.
One of the big tents will
be set aside for fashion
shows, with a seating
capacity of 500 to 600 Mrs.
Armstrong Said.
Men's, women's and
children's fashions from
clothing stores
throughout Huron County
and even outside the
county will be featured.
The tent will house
cooking demonstrations
by marketing boards, and
hairstyling workshops
and an afternoon exercise
class.
The other tent contains
horticultural exhibits and
seminars on care of cacti,
tropical plants, showing
dried flowers and live
flowers and mahy other
topics of interest to all
gardeners.
It will be the first time
the IPM ladies' program
committee has had a
horticultural tent, Mrs.
Armstrong says. Hor-
ticultural displays were
incorporated with other
displays in years gone by,
she said.
District 8 of the Ontario
Horticultural Society will
have about a quarter of
the large tent for its
displays, while the
remaining space will be
for shows by groups
which participate in the
seminars.
Programs will be
running continuously in
the horticultural area,
and the proposals are
already getting so well
accepted that committee
Terry Ruston
members are getting
"quite...excited about
this," Mrs. Armstrong
said.
The committee started
planning the ladies'
program just after IPM
'76 in Bruce County at
Walkerton, Mrs. Arm-
strong said. She was
approached to chair the
c'ommittee before the
1976 .match and watched
that area of the Bruce
match with great in-
terest.
In October 1976, the
committee, - made up of
Joan Campbell, Seaforth;
Dorothy C,oultes,
Belgrave; Shirley
McAllister, Zurich; Betty
Cardiff, Brussels; and
Susan Wheatly, Seaforth,
met.
Thirty thousand
programs for ladies'
program activities will be
printed, Mrs. Armstrong
said, but this may not
take care of all the
visitors to the exhibits.
The committee expects
"half of the people who
come to the"'-phowing
match to come through
our area", Mrs. Arm-
strong said. About 250,000
are expected at the
September 26 to 30
match.
Anyone who has gone
through t'he ladies'
exhibits in past plowing
matches and thinks this
one will be the same, is in
for a surprise, Mrs.
Armstrong said, because
"each year the whole
thing is different."
One of the things that
fall under the com-
mittee's jurisdiction is
the ordering and sales of
IPM '78 souvenirs. The
committee has plowing
match charms, pens,
'mugs, trays, frisbees and
T-shirts.
It won't just be com-
mittee members staffing
the ,three main areas of
ladies' grogram ac-
tivities, Mrs. Armstrong
said. Women's Institute
groups will provide about
12 helpers each day and
there will be scores of
volunteers helping to
provide information and
enjoyment for the 125,000
expected at the ladies'
exhibits.
Antique car winner
BY
JOANNE WALTERS
Terry Ruston, owner of
Auburn Auto Sales, has
long been interested in
the business of fixing and
selling used cars " and
trucks. His hobby is
collecting and fixing
antique cars and two
weeks ago he really made
his hobby count when his
1948 Pontiac Silver
Streak received a third
place trophy in the post
war class at a meet of the
Oakland Pontiac
Enthusiast Organization
in Utica, Michigan.

two children of RR5
Goderich drove their
prize winning car all the
way from their home to
the Michigan meet held
on Sunday, July 16. They
camped out along the
way and had no
mechanical problems
whatsoever. They sure
got a lot of stares from
people when they drove
by though. The car has
also been admired by
those watching the Blyth
Centennial parade last
year in which it ap-
peared.
There were about 200
antique cars at the meet
of the Pontiac Club and
Ruston says he was about
the only Canadian par-
ticipant there. He didn't
expect to do nearly so
well, he says. There were
eight judges and four
different inspections to go
through including a check
of the outside physical
appearance of the car,
the interior of the car, the
operational aspects of the
car (such as windshield
wipers working, etc.) and
the mechanical aspects of
the car (or how it runs).
He also had to drive the
car around a test track.
A minimum of 70 points
were needed for a third
place win. First place
went to .the owner of a
1951 Pontiac car who has
won for the past three
years in a row now and
second place went to the
owner of a 1947 Pontiac
car.
Ruston says he was at
the meet once two years
ago but had never tried to
have the car judged. He
saved the car from a
crusher when he first
noticed it sitting at a'
service station in
Mechanicsburg, Penn,
sylvania while on
holidays a while back. It
MVCA hires 22
student workers
To kelp relieve the
unemployment problem
among the young people
in the province, the
Provin'dilal Government
granted 16.1 million
dollars to the Youth
Secretariat for
"Experience '78". One of
the many programs
under Experience '78 is
Program 1601, Under this
program, the 38 Con-
servation Authorities
throughout the province
receive a portion of the
2.2 million dollars
allotted to Program 1601.
This summer, Maitland
Valley Conservation
Authority (MVCA)
received a budget of
$38,700 to hire 22 students.
Eighty-five percent of
this money goes towards
wages and benefits for
the young people. The
remaining 15 percent is
allotted to cover any
support costs, of building
materials, supplies,
rental fees, etc. incurred
during the summer.
A vital part of the
Experience '78 program
is the assistance the
Authorities receive from
Ford Motor Company.
Each summer they
'provide courtesy vehicles
to the Authorities for use
by the Experience '78
staff. Without this help
from Ford, much of the
work planned could not
'be carried out.
Over 100 applications
were received for the 22
positions at M.V.C.A.
Where possible, students
from the local area, are
to be. hired. Although this
is not always possible,
due to qualifications
required the majority of
the Experience '78 staff
at M.V.C.A. are residents
of the Authority's
watershed area,
Alice Beecroft of
Belgrave is the senior
supervisor for the
program at M.V.C.A. Her
responsibilities include
co-ordinating the ac-
tivities which the
Experience '78 staff will
be undertaking.
Debbie Gohl.. from
Kitchener, the assistant
water resources
technician, has been
completing the field work
on the Belgrave Creek
Study.
Carol Adams of
Wroxeter, assisted
Debbie on her survey.
She has also been busy on
infra -red photography
interpretation as well as
mapping for the master
pians of the area.
Carol, Ken Karges, the
audio-visual technician,
and Marilyn Grainger,
the assistant information -
education technician,
have been working on
designing and writing the
information for the
general brochure.
Marilyn is also respon-
sible for information
releases to the
didn't take too much
work to fix it up he says.
Ruston is presently
working on a couple of
other antique cars when
he finds the time. These
include a 1947 Chev
convertible and a 1946
Dodge pickup. He also
had a 1931 Pontiac Coupe
but sold it.
Sometimes he doesn't
feel much like working on
his antique cars when he
has worked on other cars
in his business all day but
for the most part, when
he gets the chance he
really enjoys this hobby,
one which he is good at,
as his newly won trophy
'indicates.

an education tool.,
The previous summer's
work in the
municipalities will not be
carried out this year. The
amount and type of work
which ' the authority
requires on its own areas
and special projects will
need the full assistance of
the Experience '78 staff. .
There are four crews,
one working primarily at
the F.R.C.A. while the
remaining three will be
rotating between the
three main projects.
Plantation management,
woodlot management and
a variety of erosion and
water control work at the
International Ploughing
Match site are taking
priority as field projects.
Work is proceeding well
in all three areas, and if
time permits, projects
have been planned for
Wawanosh Valley, Falls
Reserve and Gorrie
Conservation areas.
Brenda Osborne of
Monkton, Joy Rutherford
of Wingham, Susan
Kaufman of Listowel and
Robert Youngblut of
Goderich are the foremen
of the crews. Other
members of the
Experience '78 staff are
Chris Dubelaar and
Valerie Peel of Bluevale,
Debbie Hanula of
Wingham, and Kim
Watson and Kathy Wubs
from the Clinton area.
Susan Hart and Barb
Hamilton of Wroxeter,
Elizabeth McCaughan,
Brent Johnston and Tom
Walker of Gorrie, Chris
Moore of Lucknow and
Todd Hilliard of Ben -
miller complete the field
crew roster. The
remaining member of
the staff is Marcia Gibson
who is a valuable help in
relieving the overload of
work in the office.
An important part of
the Experience '78
program is the time set
aside for education days.
This time is provided to
allow the crews to get
together, other than in a
work atmosphere, but
where they have a chance
to learn more about the
particular Authority they
are working in, or the
Conservation program in
general.
To this point, the
Experience '78 staff has
had a tour of the
watershed and in-
struction in emergency
first aid. Other activities
are being planned at this
time.
1 he program com-
pletion date is August 25
and there will be no
shortage of work for all
involved in the
program.
