Wingham farmer elected to Plowmen's Assoc. Jim Armstrong of RR 4, Wing - ham, was elected .to the second vice presidency of the Ontario Plowmen's Association at the OPA annual meeting in Toronto last week. Since Jim is also the host farmer and a member of the Huron County local committee which is responsible for the 1978 International Plowing Match, as well as an active farmer, he is likely to be a busy fellow for the next three years. Add to all that the fact that his wife, Carol, heads the ladies' activities com- mittee of the plowing match and it makes for a busy household. The OPA annual was held at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto on Monday and Tuesday of last week, and, as usual, presented a colorful spectacle which could be compared with a full-scale politi- cal convention. Each of the county groups either seeking or already slated for an Internation- al Plowing Match brought in its - own delegation, most of them headed by pipers or full bands. Each was allowed time to present highlights from their county's at- tractions for an upcoming match. The Huron delegation, 80 DHNGNNON OOINGS strong: was headed by the Sea - forth High School Girls' Band as the group entered the huge convention room on Tuesday morning. The ''same band was also selected to lead.jn the head table guests for the noon lunch- eon. Speaking for Huron County were the general chairman, Howard Datars; his two lieu- tenants -in -chief, Allan Campbell and Roy Pattison, as well as Jim Armstrong and Huron's warden Douglas McNeil. The delegation was joined by Jack Riddell, MPP for Huron and Murray Gaunt, MPP Huron -Bruce. During the noon luncheon on -Tuesday former minister of agri- culture, Bill Stewart, was pre- sented with a lifetime pass to all future international matches in recognition of his long years of service to the farming com- munity of the province.
