C. Barrie W. C Barrie of Galt, Ont, a past president of the Ontario Plowmen's'Association and manager of the Canadianowing team at the third annual World Plowing Match in Sweden, has sent home on -the -spot reports of his trip with team members Joe Tran of Claremont, Ont., and Ivan McLaughlin of Stouffville, Ont. Here is the first of hos reports: LIVERPOOL, Eng. — We never knew we had so many friends in eastern Canada until shortly be- fore we set out on the first leg of our journey, from Toronto to Montreal. Perhaps I should explain that by "we" I mean our party of five: Joe Tran, who won the 1954 Can- adian plowing championship at Ballantrae, Ont.; Ivan McLaugh- lin, who also qualified for the trip by finishing second; Mrs. Mc- Laughlin, Mrs. Barrie, and myself, who was lucky enough to be ap- pointed team manager. The first indica- tion was a most enjoyable lunch- eon given for us by Imperial Oil, which was spon- soring the team's trip to the World Plowing Match. The luncheon was held in 'Toronto, and we met many friends Ivan McLaughlin there new and old. Next, at Union Station, we met a party of York County Council members and their wives, who were just returning from a Can- adian Good Roads Association convention at Banff.' One of my plowmen, Ivan McLaughlin, who is reeve of Whitehurch and a member of the county council, of course knew them, all. Many Relatives But the most surprising encounters w e had came after we were on OUr way to Montreal. We thought it would be an un- eventful trip, but Joe Tran seemed to have at least one relative — and usually sev- eral—waiting at Joe Ttan every stop on the a new exciting Tip Top Suit Colour for Fall TIP TOP CLOTHES ... $ Sal 50 Tailored -to -Measure in your choice of 2' the new neater, trimmer, natural styles CANADA'S GREATEST CLOTHING VALUE Tip Top tailors CLUB CLOTHES *4950 TIP TOP CLOTHES *5950 PLEET STREET CLOTHES *6950 Pickett and Campbell Clinton — Ontario way. We kidded Joe a lot about having so many relatives all over the country, but the boxes of chocolates, cakes and other things they brought as gifts were most acceptable to the rest of us, as well as Joe. At Belleville, Mrs. Barrie and I got a special surprise, for we were greeted by our daughter and son and six of our grandchildren. We arrived in Montreal and were half way to the dock to catch the Empress of Scotland, when J. D. Thomas, who was making the trip as president of the World Plowing Organization, missed his cane and declared he had left it in the station. We had one of our taxis turn back, and after I had searched all over the railway station for the cane, Mr. Thomas found he had been sitting on it all the time!

'. packing in the' cabins and we be - gait a tour of the vessel. Suddenly we' saw a number of the crew pointing excitedly to a man who was swimming in the water beside a boat anchored near by. We were told he had jumped out of a window more than 40 feet above the water. After swim- ming around for a while he climb- ed a rope ladder thrown him by some sailors on the boat. But no sooner was he on the boat than he dived in again. We figured there must have been some easier way for him to sober up! On returning to our cabin I was pleased to receive a telegram from one of our popular OPA direotors, Robert Campbell, wishing our team every success in Sweden. The first day on the Empress was quite an event for the whole party because, with the exception of J. 'D, Thomas, none of us had been on an ocean liner before. Narrow Squeak The weather was pleasantly warm, and the coloring of the maples on the river banks was marvellous. As the ship steamed under the bridge at Quebec, the crowd on the top deck held its breath because it looked as if the mast and funnels would be swept off. But we sailed through all right, with what looked to be only a foot or two clearance to spare. On the second day we awoke to find the waves splashing high over, the decks and the passengers walking around like drunken sail- ors. The water in the ship's swim- ming pool splashed over the sides and sometimes even spattered the ceiling. We decided to postpone our early morning dip, although one bathing beauty seemed to be enjoying herself in rough water. Many passengers turned up for breakfast but left in a hurry for the rail. That was the morning I discovered I could still run a hundred yards in 11 seconds flat! The third and fourth days out were even worse, and we figured hurricane Ione must be following us across the ocean. Special Treat It was not until the fifth day that we were back to normal and able to take our meals. • By this time most of the officers and first class passengers knew the purpose of our trip, and at dinner that evening, we were served Baked Alaska, a special ice cream treat not shared by the other passeng- ers. Later that evening the captain gave a party which, I'm sorry to say, ended with a minor disaster. Just when the party got into full swing, the ship lurched violently to the port side, and the 25 couples who were dancing at the time lost their balance and slid to one side of the room, When order was restored, a lady from New Zealand was found to be un- conscious, and several other peo- ple were badly shaken up and bruised. The following day, a Sunday, i PAGE we attended shipboard ;chureitt service and saw a movie that night. Sleeping Warrior The tpe Cde the next day w smby up by most l?Ieasant' part of the ocean journey. Such places as Ailsa Craig or Paddy's Peak --. that mountain of solid granite ,which- is the source of curling stones used througholut the world -came', to view on the south bank of the Clyde. The Sleeping Warrior, a row of hilist resembling an armoured warrior' lying on the ground, made 'a'splens did background for some pictures' we took on deck. ,At Greenock we saw a number of foreign freighters anchored in midstream and Mrs. Barrie and I remembered that it was from south of 'there—at Ayrshire—that our ancestors had come to Canada 125 years before, Our ancestors, of course, made the trip in a sailing vessel, and I'm told it took them six weeks, during which they suffered all sorts of privationsand discom- forts. And there we were, after making, the same journey—,but in the opposite direction -- in one week, with all the comforts of a modern hotel—even if the "hotel" did heave and, rock considerably at times. Soon we were preparing to dis- embark at Liverpool, to begin the third leg of the journey, to Lon- don. Needless to say, both Joe and Ivan were pleased at the prospect of getting their feet onto solid ground again. NEXT WEEK: Our flight to Sweden.

Those first few weeks, then, are the time to go after GROWTH and build a big strong framework on which to "Luang ineat" later.
