The -Perth delegation felt it migth make for better classes if two or three visiting counties went together on their classes in ordet' to have a fairly large entry in all the classes. The chairman of the Bruce delega- tion said that Bruce plowmen were willing to hold their ploughing match on the site on Local Day on the terms put forth by the Huron County Local Day Committee, "that Huron County Local Day committee will supply teams, tractors, etc., if required and will pay 25 per cent of all prize money paid out in the different classes." A motion by L. B. Cardiff, Brussels, seconded by 3. M. Eckert, Seaforth, "that any plowmen bring his own team to the match on Local Day would be allowed to use them without having to draw for them, and anyone re- quiring a team must draw for them the morning of the match,' was adopted. "Any boy using a team Local Day desiring to retain the same team for competition the following day or days, has the privilege to retain them for his use, the motion also stated. George Gear, Walkerton, Agricul- tural Representative for Brace County, and. R. E. White, Stratford, Agricultural Representative for Perth County, both spoke about conditions in their respective counties, and the feeling was that many boys; who formerly ploughed with teams, would now be. competing in the tractor classes. L. E Cardiff suggested that pri^? money paid out for classes on Local Day be fairly uniform and felt that there should be a class or classes for veterans for each county. It was agreed that Huron County should carry on Local Day as decided, and adjoining counties should list their classes for Local Day at an early date. The delegates from Perth and Bruce Counties adjourned to the general office to draft their classes for the local day prize list and the meeting proper (Huron County men) passed on to disucss classes for Local Day. Hugh Hill read the set of rules and regulations as laid down . in 1942 for the match which was plain -tea at that time, and it was agreed that these classes, with a few alterations (vet- earn's classes added, and : change in plow widths) should be accepted for the Local Day match, 1946. The prizes for the olasses are to be $10, $9, $8, and seven $7 prizes, making a total of $'76 ner class. In elssses where ages are specified, October 15, 1946, is the day on which any plowboy's age is to be determined. • Clinton, whb h .5 i"etieed as iire8ldent Of }lineal Prasbyteti"yyr Paling People's Union) United Chareh of Canada, after four years' service.

Hobbs Taylor, Dashwood, MLA for Huron riding, announced in an inter- view with CLINTON NEWS- ltiECORD. This large bridge, which has been mooted for a number of years, forms a very considerable portion of an expenditure of 5480,000 to be made this year on the King's Highways in this riding by Ontario Department of Highways, At High Level Dr. Taylor stated that the new bridge at Bayfield on King's Highway 21 (Bluewater Highway), would be of concrete construction with steel rein- forcing, and would be erected on a different location than the old bridge and at a higher level.. It would be similar in construction, he said, to the bridge over the Hum- ber River, Queen Elizabeth Way, at the westerly limits of Toronto. Engineers of the Department of Highways have been working on the plans for at least three months, but shortage of steel prevented an earlier announcement being made.
