Wroxeter girl queen at
Huron Plowing Match
The 48th Annual Huron County
Plowing Match and Farm- Ma-
chinery Demonstration was held
Saturday on the farm of John
Clark in Colborne Township.
Sponsored by the Huron Plow-
men's Association, the event in-
cluded the queen of the furrow
competition and 10 classes of
tractor draws. Linda Newton of
Wroxeter was chosen Queen of
the Furrow.
The results of the tractor draws
are as follows (first five places) :
class 2, Currie Simpson, Tees

Gorcie cadet relates journey
to Arctic Circle, 24-hour sun
Out of 22,000 cadets across
Canada, Rick Nay of Gorrie was
one of 63 to be accepted for the
International Air Cadet Ex-
change (IACE).
The program was started in
1947 with an exchange of 46
cadets between Canada and the
United Kingdom. Since that time
the program has grown steadily
and now includes countries in all
parts of the free world.
From Canada, Rick and a ca-
det from Newfoundlapd were
sent to Norway, and' a return
party of two Norwegian cadets
from the Norge Aero Club came
here.
On July 11, the 40 cadets going
overseas to England and Europe
of briefings. That Sunday they
flew across the North Atlantic to
Gatwic, England on a Reg. Force
hoeing 707 jet.
Upon arrival at Gatwic the
cadets staying in the UK
departed on their own way. The
cadets going on to Europe had a
short tour of London and the sur-
rounding area. They were billited
at RAF Brize Norton overnight,
and the following morning
travelled to Frankfurt, Germany.
This was the assembly point for
all the IACE cadets.
The next morning the cadets
met the others going to Norway.
There were two Canadian, two
British, two French, two
Israelies, and eight Americans,
along with one escort from
America, and one escort from
Norway. They boarded a DC3 and
departed for Norway, landing in
Oslo after four and a half hours of
flying. After a night in a military
hotel the party flew north.
The group landed at Bardufoss
"Flystasjon" which is three
degrees of latitude above the
Arctic Circle. It was cold and
raining when they arrived. But
the officers' quarters they stayed
in were comfortable.
'After two days they went even
further north by bus to Tromso
At this time of year the sun never
goes down in northern Norway
There is just 24 hours of sunlight
After a two day tour of Tromso
they headed south again to Bar-
dufoss.
"We stayed for three days
there this time, and saw a
demonstration of "Leopard
Tanks" and had a chance to go up
in a glider. After this we headed
south to Narvik," Rick said.
"There we stayed with our "host
families" for the weekend. They
were very interested in our coun-
try and. the air cadet organiza-
tion. After the two days we again
travelled to Bardufoss where we
had an hour ride in a Bell Huey'
Helicopter, saw a plane do
aerobatics and had a farewell
party."
The next day they flew south to
Bergan, where a four day stop
over was planned.
"We spent the four days with
our second host family. We
toured the museums and visited
the air field in this city. We
departed from Bergan by boat
which travelled south to
Stavanger. There we were the
guests of the Solo Flying Club.
They took us flying, on a fishing
trip, let us fly RC model aircraft,
let us watch F-5 jet aircraft
target shooting and took us on a
sight seeing tour of the area."
They departed from Solo
aboard a shyvan which took them
to Oslo for the last part of the
journey.
"In Oslo we toured the city and
surrounding area. We stayed in
an old WW2 prison that had been
converted to officers' quarters.
On the last night there we had a
farewell banquet."
The next morning they
departed for Frankfurt, Ger-
many where the Canadian Cadets
rejoined for the trip back home.
