(News -Record photo) Landowners paid after IPM moved out Landowners whose land was used for the big International Plowing Match Sept. 26-30 have all been paid for the use of the property, IPM land committee chairman Barry Mulvey said last week. But despite wild rumors circulating, the 15 or so farmers involved received "very little compensation for the risk involved," he added... He had heard rumors that host farmer Jim Armstrong and other host farmers profited from IPM '78 to the tune of thousands of dollars each. , - In fact, the various host farmers were paid a total of $23,445 for the use of their property. That was in payment for the use of about 1,250 acres of farmland. The land committee recently sent cheques to host farmers, paying for use of the land at the rate of $22 an acre for parking areas, $25 an acre for land used for plowing competitions and $70 an acre for the tented city site. The farmers could have made more money if they had rented the property' to another farmer for normal farm use, Mr. Mulvey said. There was also some risk involved in allowing the land to be used for plowing match purposes. If the weather had been as wet as it was for the 1966 plowing match in Seaforth or the. 1977 IPM in Frontenac County, the rains and heavy traffic could have compacted the fields and made them hard to till. The land committee's job was made easier by the co-operation it had from landowners and the Huron County develop- ment committee. Mr. Mulvey said. The development committee provided labor to prepare the IPM site by trimming brush and cleaning up after the five-day match. Farmers who wanted to do their part for IPM '78 also helped. "Even a couple of days before the match, we needed more land," he said. "We got it, no questions asked." - Many people from out of the area were sur- prised by the co- operation shown by local people in presenting IPM '78, Mr. Mulvey said. Final profit figures. from IPM '78 haven't been tabulated' yet, Mr. Mulvey said, because there are still some bills t� come in. What is known is that the match was a financial success and that area .....people....w.ork.ed. together well on -the huge project. One of the most telling things Mr. Mulvey said he could say about the plowing match was that a lot of people would do it all over again. UP TO 1O'/4% GUARANTEED INVESTMENT CERTIFICATES J.J.

IDEAL SU PLY COMPANY LIMITED 145 HURON ROAD, GODER.ICH 5.24©8389 1 Canadians have three choices (and two won't work) 1 2 3 To become two separate countries, as advocated by Premier Levesque and Quebec Separatists. To become a bilingual country (divided by.. two equal national languages) as advocated by Prime Minister Trudeau and the Liberal Government. To become - again - One Country and One People, as advocated by the Fathers of Confederation and by all Who believe in a truly united Canada. Canadians for One Canada WE ARE A NEW POLITICAL FORCE, NOT A POLITICAL PARTY. We welcome members from all political parties who are willing to work for a truly united Canada. We agree,with the common sense.approach to national unity expressed by the Independent Member of Parliarrldlt,.theHon.•James Richardson. t We believe: 1. Canada is a partnership of all Cana- dians... not a partnership of two founding races. 2. It should be possible for all Canadians to be united by a common national language and, at the same time, to welcome and respect the French language as an important regional language. 3. All Canadians are equal, and to preserve this equality throughout Canada there should not be special linguistic status for any group beyond the language rights now in the B.N.A. Act. 4. Legislating language and culture leads to . division, and therefore Canadians for One Canada oppose such legislation. 5: The serious problem -of language differ- ences does not exist throughout most of Canada but is essentially a regional problem than can best be solved region- ally, by English speaking as well as French, speaking Quebecers becoming increasingly bilingual. 6. The attempt •to entrench nation-wide " French -English. "language equality"- in the Constitution of Canada only extends the problem of language difference - it does not solve it. 7. It will permanently divide Canada to entrench additional language rights in the Constitution of Canada under a Quebec veto. 8. A bilingual Quebec in a common lan- guage Canada is the only common sense answer that can provide Quebec with the "best of both worlds" and also achieve a truly united Canada. 9. Amendments to the Constitution . of Canada must not be controlled by 'the veto of ,y- single province, but must always be a reflection of the national will. 10.
