Many people never seem to get a good

on 'nerves'—when it may be their kidneys.
Healthy kidneys filter poisons and excess
acids from the blood. If they Fail and
impurities stay in the system—disturbed

the Canadian team,.didn't fare so
well because of soil sticking to
this mould board, although he fin-
ished antongothe top ten of the
25 contestants from the 13 compet-
ing - nations. The second day was
grassland plowing.
As far as the weather was con-
cerned, it was .mneh like the pre-
vious day with low-lying log that
cleared as the day progressed. But
there was an even larger crowd on
hand, in fact much -larger than was
empected. There were 10,000 paid
'admissions.
The day started with the custom-
arY parade of judges, coaches and
contestants through the demonstra-
tion grounds and out to the fields.
This was begun an hour earlier
than the previous day and the
contestants were all in place by
11 o'clock waiting for the firing of
the red rocket that would open the
contest. The plats were all in a
row and numbered from one to 25.
Mickey Denman had number 16
and Bob Tirtibers had number 25
and had to open his own cast-off.

a bit of excitement as people here

my best to 'describe what took
place but feel I won't do justice
to this great event.
The cairn was located nearthe
scene of today's plowing, and in-
cidentally this land is owned and
operated by one of the oldest col-
leges in Oxford. Thirteeen flag-
poles, -eaon bearing the flag of a
competing country, formed a
square in front of the cairn.
Royal Party
13ef-ore the arrival of the royal
party tne 13 plowing teams took
up Ipositions in front of the flag
poles.. A guard of honor in. full
dress uniform was drawn up and
there were also royal trumpeters in
their colorful trappings, an of-
ficial in robes of office 'who acted.
•as master of .ceremonies, and an
archbishop accompanied by his
chaplain. Standing by the corners
of the cairn were girds in period
' costumes of the British Isles.
Into this square drove the Duke
and Duchess of Gloucester, accom-
panied by a party including J. D.
Thomas of Toronto, ,president of
the World PleOing Match. After
alighting from the , car, J. D.
Thomas presented the members of
the teams to their Royal High-
nesses. Following the presentation
the Duke proceeded to' a dais
where he delivered a short ad-
dress. At this point the costumed
girls pulled the cords that unveiled
the' peace cairn. Then the arch-
bishop offered up a prayer and
at its conclusion the band, amen-
panied by the royal trumpeters,
played "God Save The Queen!:
During the playing o the national
anthem, plowmenfrom eachof
the teams slowly lowered their
couneries' flags. When the flags
came to rest, the ceremony was
over, and so was the fourth annual
World Plowing Match.
The Relsults
As soon as the royal piney drove
off there was a rush t� the head-
quarters to find out the results,
but the officials were still 'busy
tallying the scores. When finally
it was announced that Hugh Barr
of Northern Irelend was again the
world champion there was a cheer.
There were also some disappoint-
ed people . . . including myself.
Of course, 'by now you all know
the results,- but just to refresh
your memory here is hove our boys
made out. Robert Timbers, fourth
place with a total of 152.40, Edwin
Demman, tenth with 147.50. Hugh
Barr, the winner received 165.75
points.
