The Bricoldoc took a severe pounding in a storm that Capt. Charles E. Robinson, of Goderich, described as one of the worst he had ever sailed 'through. It was a miracle, agreed •captain and crew 'members, that the vessel made port at all. The Paterson Line 'freighter carried a cargo of 230,000 bushels of wheat from Fort William. As the ship was tossed about in the storm, the cargo shifted, causing the boat to list. During the battering, the Bricol.• doe's compass broke and the steer- ing -gear jammed. Only some fev- erish work, cpnsbined with the roll- ing motion of the ship, got it"back into operation. Capt. Robinson said that -40 -foot waves rolled over the wheelhouse, He estimated the wind velocity at times reached 100 miles an hour. Wind -whipped waves tore away the ship's life raft, tore life belts off the .walls and sent water pour- ing into seamen's quarters and other reams. The Bricoldoc left Fort William November 19 ' and was due to -arrive at- Port MeNieoll -on Nov-.einber _ 21. 'That"day, -gale-force. -'care:- ~vessel a 'Ytd"`'retturnte Duck 'Island, about 50 miles -out in Lake Huron. Capt. Robinson headed the ship for shelter at Thunder Bay Lsland on the Michigan side. Eventually, the Bricoldoc endured the p,?und- ing and . made the lee side of Middle I$1and, one of the Thunder Bay group. Evening temperatures • Nov. 23 formed ice on the decks. When the ship limped into Port Mc - Nicoll -and docked, ice had• to be chopped away to get the hatch covers open. Carpenters went .aboard the freighter to repair some of the damage suffered in the fierce pounding. O O 0 B OF M HAS INCREASE IN LOANS, PERSONAL SAVINGS Reflecting substantial increases in loans and personal savings, the Bank of Montreal's annual state- ment, for the year ended October 31, just issued, provides graphic evidence of the large °part which this 139 -year-old institution plays in the finaf'Lcial life of the country, according to, Bruce Armstrong, the B of M's Goderich manager. At the .same time, he said that the B of VI's shareholders' funds had been substantially enlarged by the addition of $6,500,000 to the gest account or reserve fund. Earnings, likewise, increased mod- erately. Total resources, however, are at a slightly bower figure - $2,783 million compared with $2,796 million in 1955. Quickly available resources, ,at $1,427 mil - ion, represent 54 per cent of all public liabilities. To meet • the heavy demand for loam, the bank made a substantial reduction in its investment port- folio. Government and other pub- lic securities not exceeding market value, stand at $916 inillion--a contraction of $298 million -from the 1955 level. 0 0- o How To Buy Your ChriAtmas Tree What sort of Christmas tree should you buy this year? Pine trees retain their moisture for a long time and are the least flam- mable of trees; the sylm`inetrical pyramid of spruce/ is ideal for decorating, but the tree dries out quickly, as does the cedar. It's best not to keep them in the house tad long. ,Hemlock has very pli- able branehes• which won't support heavy decorations 'Lt, too, is a fire hazard when' it quickly dries out. The first thing to keep in mind when buying a tree, says Bob Mc- ICay in December Canadian Homes and Gardens, is to make sure it is fresh: rub your hands, over the needles -•--if they come altoo easily, don't buy. 'Keep the tree in water, to prevent its needles:. dropp- ping for as long as possible. Al- ways spray with fireproofing ma- terial.

OXFORD, (gland. -This is an account of two great plowing matches ---the British National and the World. I can 'imagine yoel want to hear right away a descrip- tion of the Canadian team 44 Bon Timbers of Stouffville, Ont., and Mickey Denman iof Portage la Prairie, Man., in action in the world contest,. but., I feel I should describe the snatches in chronolog- ical order. The Britt,* National was the fist. When we arrived at headquart- ers about 9 a.m. there was activity everywhere and excitement was in the air. Groups of people front this side and from our side od the Atlantic had already gathered. These included a large .delegation from Canada but perhaps the most colorful group of all was the Un- ited States 4:relegation. All of them wore tlarge western hats with bands advertising the 1957 World Plowing Match to be held at Peebles, Ohio. In conversation with one of the women members of this group I asked her if she knew the U.S.A. judge for the World Match, whom I had met the previous day. She laughed and said, "Well I should - he's my husband!" Well, the British National was a real show. Maybe not as large as our International Plowing Match but it seemed to me to be turned out better. There were flowers and shrubs everywhere and theofficials had not spared paint, nor elbow grease for that matter, in making everything spick and span. It•was a beautiful sight. Before the match got underway there was a parade of contestants and the horse plowmen, stole the show. There were 14 teams and some ,of the horses were handsome- ly decked out; perhaps too much in the Spay of decorations for plow horses but they did look splendid. However, the plows were a differ- ent matter for some were rather crude -looking and some were ancient. During the match I notice hat all the high cut work was done with horses •pulling old plows with very long mould boards on wheeler There were tail pieces on the boards and so many ,gadget's that I I couldn't;. •figure out what they were used for. Most of the teams walked on the land ,instead of in the furrows. Arca there - were some long,;%eavy tiouhl- ytrees and .; ngIe,..trg,e.5a,aw d : about eight feet was. ;e.uei.►-n.:..i, cacda�..iac x�sw Iarrif�KrLrr team. It seemed to me trey would be very hard to handle as well as draw. It wasn't Long- before the horses (weighing between 1,600 and 1,800 pounds) and the men were in a lather. However, there was some excellent work 'done. 132 Plows • In the mechanized section there were 132 tractor plows. These included acme high -cut,, crude - looking ones and there were some of the semi -digger type, such as our boys have been using. Souse of the tractor plowmen turned out work that was comparable to the best at ,ur International and I must say the stewards were very strict. No one was allowed to break any of the rules. So much for the British National. It was the next day that was really exciting for us. It was the open- ing of the two-day'World Plowing Match that would decide this year's widner of the Esso Golden Plough trophy, symbol of world plowing supremacy. For the, last two years Hugh Barr of Northern Ireland has been the winner although the first year it was put up it was won by Jim Eccles of Brampton, Ont., with our Bob Timbers a close third. That was in 1953, at Co- bourg, Ont., where the first World Match was held under the sponsor- ship of Imperial 'Oil; Naturally our boys wanted to bring that Golden Plough trophy back Ito Can- ada, even in the face of teams from 13 other countries. The day of the big match we were up at 6 a.m. Bob and Mickey appeared well rested and in good spirits. The fog, or mist as they call it here, was quite dense. On arrival at the match headquarters we found a larger crowd than the SHEPPARDTON SHEPPARDTON, Nov. 27. -Mrs. Fred McCabe visited. in Toronto last week 'with her brother, Ell- wood, and Mrs. Murray. Ellwood is a- patient in a Toronto hospital. 'Mr. and Mrs. Don Stonehouse and family, of Guelph, visited dur- ing the week -end with Mrs. StAhe- house's parents, Mr. -and Mrs Percy Graham.

Officer,} elected for the coining year will be installed. The Sunday School teachers and pupils are busy preparing for a Christmas concert. The Comniunity Club was held at the ,horn of :Mrs. Reid Torrance with 11 ladies present. The presi- den't, Mrs. P. Harrison, took charge of the meeting. During the after- noon a crib quilt vas quilted. It wain decided to dispense "with the December meeting. Hoa«te s serv- ed p lovely lunch, R. Beilhertg day previous had already „gathered. They wanted to see the boys from the competing canaries as they disembarkedfrom a tooter coach that brought them from the hotel, Our boys went immediately to their equipment to mate last- minute adjustments and to warm wp the , tractors. At 11 o'clock all the contestants had lunch together in a big tent on the grounds. Half an hour later they were lining up their tractors in parade formation. Each tractor bore a card with the name of the competitor's country.
