By County Councillors
Extolled By Br.. Hall
Described as "one of the social
highlights of Huron County," the
annual. warden's banquet was at-
tended ,by 250 persons in. Knox
Presbyterian Church here on Wed-
neaday of lastweek. In the gath-
ering were five county wiirdens,
four members ,of. the federal and
provincial iparliarents and repre-
sentatives from all 24 municipal-
ities in Huron County.
. Nearing completion of his term,
Warden John V. Fischer, Reeve of
Turnberry Township, was 4present-
ed with a handsome lounge chair
from the members of the. 1956
Huron County Council. The toast
.to the warden was proposed by
Reeve Harvey Oolen an, of Stanley
Township, and the presentation
made by Deputy -Reeve Arthur Gib-
son, of Hawick Township.
The special speaker, Dr. G. E.
Hall, president of University of
Western Ontario, commended the
County Councillors for their sense
of responsibility and for their un-
selfishness in giving much time and
effort to 'municipal affairs.
"We are living. in very stirring
times, the world full of strife," he
said, yet Canada is enjoying tre-
mendous expansion and this coun-
ty's standard of living is climbing
constantly.
In making reference to less for-
tunate countries, lir. flall said,
"We must evolve a sense of respon-
sibility and understanding of other
people. 1wonder if the next great
stride that Canada makes will not
be a critical self-analysis, an in-
creased awareness of opportunity
given to do good for others."
In County Council, he said, one
found "real grass-roots responsibil-
ity" of the type that theworld
needs today.
After grace was said by Rev. R.
G. MacMillan, the guests were wel-
comed by the chairman, Earl
Campbell, last year's warden, who
was Reeve of Hay Township.
On behalf of the Town of Gode-
rich, Mayor J. E. Hockin,s extended
a welcome to all. He comanetbde4
the County Councillors for -their.,
efforts in constructing the new
court 1,llouse.
Proud of Court House
The mayor stated, "In all prob-
ability, this is the finest county
building in the Province of On-
tario. We want the County Coun-
cil to know we are very proud of
the court house. The Town of
Groderich, in years to come, will
deem it a pleasure to keep the sur-
rounding park in a ,condition that
is in keeping with the new build-
ing."
Reeve Orval Taylor, of East
Wawanosh Township, moved a vote
of thanks to Knox Church Ladies'
Aid Society, the group which cater-
ed to the 'banquet. Mrs' A. Strai-

CANADIAN PLOWING TEAM
OXFORD, England: --We've been
over here more than a week' now,
and the day of the world plowing
match is diose at hand. Robert
Timbers of Stouffville, Ont., the
Canadian eham+pion plowman and
his team mate Edwin Dem uan , off
Portage la Prairie, Man., .have now
put in many hours of Practice
plowing.
At this stage I'd like to pay
tribute to our boys, for they cer-
tainly take this match seriously.
If time, effort and concentration
count far anything, the Canadians
should twin the Esso Golden Plough
trophy,which •is the award for the
world champion plowman. Yester-
day the boys were so intent on
practice plowing that they didn't
even stop for lunch. They were

to get his white stetson dirty. I

work, Mr. Hanna paid special trib-
ute to A. H. Erskine, county clerk
treasurer. He said that Mr. 'Ers-
kine had done a magnificent job
in connection with the building
and financing of the new court
house.
Reeve John Morrissey, of
Stephen Township, proposed the
toast to the ladies. This was re
sponded to by Mrs. Jrseph Kerr,
wife of the deputy -reeve of Wing -
ham. Said. Mrs. Kerr: "We look
forward to the annual warden's
banquet; it is one of the highlights
of Huron County's social life."
Spokesman for the Councillors
was Reeve William McKenzie, of
Exeter. Fallowing his remarks,

four visiting wardens. The other

champion, quietly sneaked away
from the large practice field to a
small field about three miles away'
so they could 'practice by them-
selves. The plawbottoins cleaned
very nicely In 'the soil at the new
site and the boys felt ,good.
During the day I had an inter-
esting talk with Mr. l3,enwell of
Esso Petroleum ,in London and
learned he has a daughter living
at Agincourt, Ont., the wife of
Dr. D. C. Hood. Also met and
talked withmany people who had
attended the first world inatc'h at
Cobourg in 1953. They all seemed
to tell the same story of how well
they were treated in Canada, what
a beautiful- country we have, and
how well organized is the Inter-
national Plowing Match.
Just by way of contrast I woultl
say that the British seem to take.
more pride than we in Ontario in
their plowing matches. Here every-
thing -seems to be in penfect order.
Ml fence posts are cement and
wire and rope enclosures are
tightened well. Entrances to the
demonstration park are nicely;
levelled and turnstiles are used.
Mobile telephone and cable offices
have been set up and the public
address system extends well out
into the fields where the classes
will be held. w
The machinery rows are lajd out
differently to ours at the Inter-
national. Here the headquarters
building is in the centre of the
park. The tractor enclosure and
the press building are close to the
headquarters. Also, 'close by, are
two licensed bars offering a vari-
ety of beverages from the softest
to the hardest and all served by
barmaids
Outstanding Plowmen
Bob Timbers' father, one of the
best plowmen in Canada, was here
and I took 'him over to the prac-
tice field where the bays were
plowing. I was unable to -stay
but knew they now had a much
better coach with them than I
would ever make. When they re-
turned that night they reported
they were ready fat the big match.
The reason I couldn't' stay with
the boys was that the World Plow-
ing Organization had arranged for
a demonstration of plowing by
13111 de Lint of Holland. All the
judges, .picked 'from the competing
countries, were on ,hand to watch
and an interesting discussion on
rules and methods of scoring took

announced that Dr. WI had
agreed to take the judge's place
on the 'program.
Following Dr. Hall's • address,
John W. Armstrong, of Londes-
boro, spoke for the ex -wardens of
the 'county, He congratulated
County Councillors for the new
court house and praised Goderieh
for keeping the surrounding park
in such good 'condition.
"We are sad and heartbroken
at the strife in certain countries
today," said Mr. Armstrong. "It
Ls a pity they cannot settle differ -
