BY JEFF SEDDON
The Huron County edition of the International
Plowing Match set attendance records for the
65 year history of the match despite downpours
Wednesday and Saturday that turned much of
the Wingham site into a quagmire_
A spokesman for the Ontario Plowman's
Association .(OPA) said between 215,000 and
220.000 people attended the match during its
five day , span,- No final figures had been
compiled by the OPA and exact attendance will
not be known until a full report on the match is
prepared for the OPA convention this winter.
Opening day ceremonies featuring Professor
Neil Armstrong was one of the biggest drawing
cards at the match and was one reason at-
tendance was up over past years. An estimated
30,000 people went to see the first manon the
moon setting an opening day attendance
record. The OPA reported that attendance
figures were up for four of the five days .com-
pared to last year's match. The figures were
very close to last year's on the third day of the
match and on the closing day they were down
slightly compared to Walkerton's effort to host
the event two years ago_
Rain . dampened..erithusiasm of _spectators
twice during the five days causing traffic
problems on access roads. Sudden cloudbursts
Wednesday afternoon and Saturday afternoon
sent thousands scurrying to their cars only to
find access roads jammed with vehicles or
parking lots scattered with vehicles stuck in the
mud_ Match workers spent hours on tractors
pulling mired vehicles to solid ground.
Only one special event was cancelledbecause
of the rain. The Wednesday version of the daily
parade through the match site was cancelled
because organizers wanted to give the roads
through,..tentec city a chance to dry up. Closing
ceremonies were shortened by the rain
Saturday.
No plowing competition was affected by the
rain. All classes were completed with over 200
plowmen , going after over $35,000 in prize
money.
Match organizers said there was no way of
ance records over 200,Q00
determining Cuts early the financial impact the
match would have on Huron County. Hotel and
motel rooms within a 100 mile radius of the
Wingham site were booked by participants and
competitors in the match. One spokesman said
every business in the Wingham area would
have had some success because of the match.
This is the third time since World War Two
that Huron County has sponsored the Inter-
national and Huron will probably not host the
event for another ten years, Each county bids
an the match annually and an OPA spokesman
said the match generally never returns to the
same place twice in a decade_
-- In - the 1940,7s _the -match was held in Port
Albert and in 1966 Seaforth sponsored a match
that has affectionateiy become known as the
"Mud Bowl".
The OPA has considered making the match
anent by picking a site . suitable to the
eve and holding it there every year. But the,
plowmen feel that much of the success of the
match is due to the tented city and to the
mobility of the massive show and don't want to
Former employee's luck costs bank X125
BY JEFF SEDDON
The luck of the draw cost the Goderich
branch of the Bank of Montreal $250 instead of
the $125 it planned to give away.
The bank is celebrating its 125th anniversary
ian Goderich and as part of that celebration
offered new customers a chance at winning $125
in "Nickel Dollars". The draw was limited to
customers opening an account at the Goderich

features on opening day

number of entries ever in
the 441 Queen's Guineas
Steer Competition_ A

Ontario have been
registered, 24 more than.
the previous record
number.
As was the case last
year, Lambton, Grey and
South Simcoe counties
lead all counties with 76,
52 and 40 entries
respectively, followed
closely by Middlesex with
39.
The ' judge for this
year's event again is
Andy Brown of Leth-
bridge, Alberta.
The number of steer
classes continues to grow
with the addition this
year of two more, a
Limousin -Cross and a
Marine -Anjou Cross. The
eight -class competition
now al`§o includes
Aberdeen Angus,
Herefords, Shorthorns,
Charolais-Cross, Sim -
mental -Cross and
Crossbreds and . Other
Breeds.
The competition in the
Main Coliseum will
commence at 8 a.m..
while the auction will
take place at 2 p.m. in the
Small Livestock Ring.
Both exciting activities
are open to the general
public.
to order for a breed to
qualify for a class of its
own, there must be a
minimum of 15 head of
the breed exhibited at the
show- If 14 head or less
are exhibited, then these
steers will be shown in
the Crossbred class_ The
only other change this
year has the Group of
Three classification
eliminated from each
steer class, leaving two
classifications within
each class, the single
steer and the champion
and reserve steers.
In keeping with the
desire to keep - the barn
area neat and tidy, the
Herdsmen's Competition
will be held for the second
time- Each county exhibit
is properly identified,
manned by 4-H Club
members and then
judged for general ap-
pearance, neatness,
grooming of entries,
courtesy of attendants
and general knowledge of
4H and the Royal.

branch between July 19 and September 29. As is
the custom with this type of contest the bank
made its employees and their immediate
family inegeote for the contest.
• But it didn't rule out ex-employees. Mayor
Deb Shewfelt made the draw for the winner at a
reception held at the branch Friday evening.
He pulled Lynn Chisholm's name from the
entries making her the winner of the Nickel
Dollars. But Lynn's eligibility was questioned
and the bank hesitated in giving her the money.
She left the Bank of Montreal August 10 to work
at the Bank of Nova Scotia and on August 11 she
opened an account at her former place of
emelotment.
Goderich branch administrator Mariette
Chisholm said the bank was not upset about
Lynn Chisholm's winning the $125 but was

Next year's plowing match will be held in
Kent County and organizers there have already
announced plans to make their version 0! the
match,,the best yet. In 1980 Oxford County
sponsors the match and in 1981 it goes to
Middlesex County.
concerned that the other 300 people eligible for
the draw would smell a rat. Rather than take
that chance the bank decided to pay Lynn $125
and draw again to give away the "Nickel
Dollars" worth $125. Mayor Deb Shewfelt
returned to the bank Wednesday Morning and
drew Donald Stringer's name from the hat.
Stringer was not 'available to answer a skill -
testing question and so is not 'a confirmed
winner.
