(News -Record photo) 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. Ruston, his wife and Owners of smaller businesses... we provide: • Financial assistance • Management counselling (CASE • Management training • Information on government programs for business Can we help you?

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. +++ Wilderness canoeing requires organization , to '' get to your destination and back safely.

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.
