Barrie of Galt, Ont., a past president of the Ontario Plowmen's Association and manager of the Canadian plowing team at the third an- nual World Plowing Match in Sweden, has sent home on -the - spot reports of his trip with team members Joe Tran of Claremont, Ont., and Ivan,. Mc- Laughlin of Stouffville, Ont. Here is the first of his re- ports. Many Friends LIVERPOOL—We never knew we had so many friends in 'eastern Canada until shortly before we set out on the first leg of. ottr journey, from Toronto to Montreal. Perhaps I should explain that by "we" I mean our party of five: Joe Tran, who won the 1954 Can- adian plowing championship at Ballantrae, Ont.; Ivan McLaughlin, •who also qualified for the trip by finishing second; Mrs. McLaughlin, Mrs. Barrie, aid myself, who was .lucky enough to be appointed team manager. The first indication was a most enjoyable luncheon given for us by Imperial Oil, which was sponsoring 'the team's trip to the'World Plow- ing Match. The luncheon was held in Toronto, and we met many friends there, new and old. Next, at Union Station, we met a party of York County Couin.cil Recently several men were discussing the development of artificial- breeding_ over -,the _past. decade , .and ,the-- .fa''' ° ffe. brought out that years age not every farmer owned his own bull but took his cows to one in the nelehborhood and that the use of a community bull exposed all the herds involved to all of the community diseases. Often these diseases were spread and it became impossible, in some cases, to find a farmer owning a bull that would breed his neighbors' cows'. This forced each farmer to have his own bull. W. C. Barrie . - Many Relatives But the most surprising encoun- ters we had came after we were l�fl+I I'm— Actors in the play "Macbeth' being staged by the Canadian Play- ers of Stratford at Goderich Dis- trict Collegiate Institute, Novem- ber 25, will double and triple their roles, as was done in last year's performance of "Saint Joan," keep- ing the numbeif in the cast, down to a bare minimum. Therole Of Macbeth is played by William Hutt, and Lady 'Mac- beth by Frances Hyland, both play- ers of international,.. acclaim. Douglas Campbell, a star of Eng- land's "Old Vic" and Canada's Stratford, Shakespearean Festival, directs the play. on our way to Montreal. We thought it would be an uneventful trip, but Joe Tran seemed to have at least one relative—and usually several= -waiting at every stop on the way. We kidded Joe a lot about having so many relatives all over the country, but the boxes of chocolates, cakes and other things they brought as gifts were most acceptable to the rest of us, as well as Joe. At Belleville, Mrs. Barrie and I got a special surprise, for we were greeted by, our daughter and son and six of our grandchildren. We arrived in Montreal and were half way to the deck to catch the Empress of Scotland, when J. D. Thomas, who was mak- ing the trip as president of the World Plowing' Organization, mis- sed his carie and declared he had left it in the station. We 'had one of our taxis turn back, and after I had searched all over the rail- way station for the cane, Mr. Thomas found he had been sitting on It all the time! Tour Ship Aboard ship, Ivan, 'Joe and I left the ladies to handle the un- packing in the *cabins and we be- gan a tour of the vessel. Suddenly we saw a . number of the crew members pointing ex- citedly to a man who was swim- ming in the water beside a, boat anchored near by, We were told he had jumped out a window more than forty feet -above the water. After swimming around for a while he climbed a rope ladder thrown him by some sailors on the boat. But no sooner was he, on the boat than he dived in again. tt• Frguied.there ,-est.7o,gvn••���: some easier,way for him to sober up! On returning to our cabin I was pleased to receive a telegram from one of our popular OPA directors,' Robert Campbell, wishing our team every success in Sweden. The first day on the Empress was quite an event for the whole party because, with the exception of J. D. Thomas, none of us had been on an ocean liner before. Narrow Squeak - The weather was pleasantly_ warm, and the coloring qi the maples on the river banks was marvellous. As the ship steamed under the bridge at Quebec, the. crowd on the top deck held its breath because it looked as if the mast and funnels would be swept off. But we sailed through all right, with what looked. to be only a foot or two clearance to spare. On the second day we awoke to find the waves splashing high over the decks and the passengers walk- ing around like drunken sailors. The water in the ship's swimming pool splashed over the sides and sometimes even spattered the ceil- ing. We decided to postpone our early morning dip,,- although one bathing beauty seemed to be en- Every possible precaution is taken with artificial breeding` Iservice and the possibility of disease spread is practically nil. This is due to the fact that NEW PLASTIC BREEDING TUBES are used for each cow: BOOTS ARE WASHED AND DISINFECTED BETWEEN BARNS: 'bulls are used under the STRICTEST GOVERNMENT HEALTH REGULATIONS, Do as nearly 6000 other farmers have done during 'a955, call the Waterloo Cattle Breeding Association when you have cows to breed—all breeds,. grades and purebreds.

That .was the morning I discovered I could still 'run a 'hun- dred yards :in 11 seconds flat. The third and fourth days out were even worse, and we figured hurricane Ione must be ,following us across the ocean. Special Treat It was not until the fifth day that we were back to normal and able to take our meals. By this time most of the officers and first class passengers knew the purpose of our trip, and at dinner that evening, we were served Baked Alaska, a special • ice eream treat not shared by the other passen- gers. Later that evening the captain gave a party which, I'm 'sorry to say, ended with a minor disaster. Just when the party -got into full swing, the ship lurched violently to the port side, and the 25 couples who were dancing at the time lost their balance and slid to one side of the room, When order was restored, a lady from New Zealand was found to be unconscious and several other couples were badly shaken up and bruised. The following day, a Sunday, we attended shipboard church services and saw a movie that night. Sleeping Warrior The trip up the Clyde the next day was by far the mos4, pleasant part of the ocean journey. Such places as Ailsa Craig or Paddy's peak—that mountain of solid gran- ite which is the source of curling -' ^� - and 'i ed .throughput . he world—came to view on the soutn bank of the Clyde. The Sleeping Warrior, a row of hills resembling an-earmo•ured warrior lying on, the ground, ` made a splendid back- grou;nd for some ,pictures we took on deck. At Greenock we saw a number of foreign freighters anchored in midstream and Mrs. Barrie and I remembered that it was from south of there—at Ayrshire—that our ancestors -had came to Canada 125 years before. Our .ancestors, of course, made the trip in a Sailing, vessel, and I'm told- it took them six weeks, during which' ethey suffered all sorts of privations and discomforts. And. there we were, after making the same journey --but in the op- pQsite direction—in oneweek, with all the comforts of a modern hotel —even if the `hotel" did heave and rock ,considerably ,at times. Soon we were preparing to dis- embark at Liverpool, ,tto begin the third leg of the journey, to London. Needless to say, both Joe and Ivan were pleased at the prospect of getting their feet onto solid ground again. NEXT WEEK: Our flight to Swed n. - Goderich Graduate Nurses met' recently, when 'Mrs. M. B. Harp- er demonstrated. anti showed- a film on the Holger-Dileilsen method of artificial respiration. Later, those present practised the newer method under Mrs. Harper's •supervision. Symspatlly was- extended to the family of the late Dr, J. M,. Gra- ham; also to Miss £unhinghaan in the logs of her father ,anti to Mrs. N. Lanaway, in the loss of her 'husband. It was decided to support the hospital in its campaign for an additional wing. Same new members were . wel- comed. A nominating committee was appointed and plans were made for a special Christmas meeting on the first Friday in December. • Tfie meeting closed with a de- licious lunch served by Mrs. Eva Lassaline and her committee.

Several times during the evening, power was disrupted but automatic switches which oven when inter- ference occurs an lines and equip- ment, closed again when the lines .were clear, and kept the interrup- tions down to a duration or only a few seconds.
