V f News From International I Gordon McGavin of Walton who is now president of the Ontario Plow- men's Association, is a soft-spoken, practical Duron county farmer. }Ie obtained his knowledge in the school of hard knocks, "Experience." He will blush furiously when he rends this but his neighbors will tell you that he is a man of good common-sense and practical values. Gordon started out plowing at the International with a battered tractor when he was in his early teens. have Murray of Winghaen was his, compan- ion, and he was about the same age. It was a. new and rather terrifying exiierience for the lads to be so far away' from home, and other plowmen kept ribbing them about the condition of the tractor and their' youthfulness. Gordan won in that particular class the first year at Brockville; and the next year at Niagara Falls he canis )some with the honors. Servingfor a number of years as a coach for various' plowmen at the International after he, retired from active competition, he was elected to the directorate •of the Ontario Plow- men's Association in 1938. Since that time he has been active in all matters in connection with the match., In 1941 be served as vice-president and this year he is president. A farmer in McKillop township, he are works with his father, John Mc- Gavin ne a drover. He is thoroughly conversant with the problems which face the farmers of Ontario at the present time and lias been one of the main forces in having: the Ontario Plowmen's Associationgive every as- sistance to the display of all types of labor-saving machinery which will in any way help the war effort. Gordon is strongly in favor of a special display of machinery which will help the farmers of Olitarie to carry on in spite of the fact that the farm Tabor situation is becoming Moro serious all the time. H. W. Kitching of the department •of agricultuegl en- gineering of the Ontario,Agrioultur- al College has been in consultation with him about the matter and un- doubtedly they will co-operate on the display. Last year Mr. MeGavin conducted! a tour of the gold and silver medalists of the International and he visited prominent farm • colleges and farmers in the Canadian West, British Colum- bia and the' •Middle-Westeip • United States. 'During'the Course of that trip he gained` a great deal of valuable experience ..11. ninth of which` he' is .lie present,.

Huron county is extremely :fortun ate this year in having one of its most practical farmers as the head of the, sponsoring organization of the Inter- national Plowing Match, the Ontario Plowmen's( Association. The Plebiscite Last week I wrote a short article' on the proposed plebiscite, advocating that the Prime Minister submit his appeal for relief from his, election promise of "No conscription of roan power, for service outside of Canada", not to the people, but to their respon- sible 'representatives espon-sible'representatives', who, if given a reasonable time to consult their 1i - ecutives, and other leaders at hone, would be in a sufficiently good posi- tion to, grant or refuse his request. It was also pointed out that in a general vote, a great many people would, quite naturally and quite in- nocently be voting for or against im- mediate mmediate' conscription, instead of the privilege to introduce conscription when and if the Govt. thought it nec- essary or advisable. It was argued that this way out would not :only be satisfactory to;all eoncerned, but would •avoid! the great waste of time and money and the tur- moil and ill: feeling of general plebis- cite. The question was also raised as to whether any of us, other than biose liable ifor conscription and those al- ready in the overseas forces, should be allowed to vote. Up to the timeef writing, I had not read or heard these ideas, but when finished, the article was too late for last week's local papers.• Since then, at least two members of the Cora- mons onimons have expressed the main idea of my article in their speeches in the House. More recent thought has convinced me that no matter how the ballot may be worded, no Govt. would dare such a vete unless it was seriously considering conscription as a neces- sity, in view of the steadily increas- ing deterioration of the war situation for the allies or United Nations, coupled with the unsatisfactory re- sults of the voluntary system, some- thing that the Govt. has not as yet publically admitted. 43 Whatever hapepns, let us at least still hope that all who are fit and not engaged in most vital war industries, will be given plenty of time to volun- teer before the conscription date, be- cause no. Canadian wants to shirk his duty to himself, his home and relat- ives, his country or his Empire and her allies; and every volunteer feels, him- self a real man, and is therefore a much better soldier than he wouldbe. as a conscript,. In the meantime, how would it be for all of us who possibly can do so, to volunteer in the army now fighting to win the Victory Loan Campaign? A $50 bond for each C'anadian will al- most do the trick, and this' bond would be a fine nest egg for the rainy day, just around 'the corner, after the war is over, providing, of course, that we win, which we roust and shall after we get together in a united effort. Of course, there are very many of us who are too young or too old or have too hard a time keeping their home fires burning, to be able to buy even a 850 bond. So, the average for each who can buy, will not be less than $100, but surely none of us will shirk doing what is possible, great op small. Clinton, Feb. 16, 1942. THOS. G. ALLEN.

It is interesting to note from the report that Bell tele- phones, plus those of other systems connected with Bell lines in Ontario and Quebes, now total •more than a million.
