Good Layout For International Match. Ample Accommodation Arranged; De- monstration of Crops and Farm Machinery Are Listed A general inspection of the site chosen for tire International Plowing Match to be held ire Huron county October 13 to 16 inclusive was made last Thursday by the Plowing Match officials. J .A. Oaraall; Toronto, gen- eral secretary, said the site and gen- eral layout are about the best he has seen. The field's in which the plowing demonstrations will take place are quite level and there will be ample parking spaces laid out. The tented city, including the headquarters tent and other offices, will :occupy- a field on the north side of the main road- way, on the W. L. Whyte farm. Parking and exhibit areas will be on the south side. Many acres on the Whyte farm have been planted to demonstration crops, such as hybrid corn, soya beans, and export turnips. Pasture demonstration lots will also be laid out The inspection party included Mr. Carroll, Clarlu Young, Milliken, treas- urer; J. D. Thomas, Goderich, chair- man of the local committee of roan, agement; J .0. Shearer, Clinton, com- mittee secretary, Gordon McGavin, Walton, and W. L. Clark, Gormley, president, and vice-president respect- ively of the Ontario Plowmen's Asset - dation; George Waldie, Straford, Alex McKinney, Brampton, International. committeemen; W L. Whyte, local committee c'o-ordinator; and N. E. McPherson, Toronto, Hydro Electric Power commission engineer, whowill supervise the installation of lighting and power facilities for the snatch. The township, road, which will be the International match highway, has been greatly improved' by the town- ship councils. The ditches on either side have been tiled, land levelled over and there is ample width for heavy traffic. After the inspection the party drove to Seaforth for lunch, and later drove to Clinton where they attended a meeting of the local committee in the agricultural board room, at Which J. D. Thomas presided. In addition to the oh'airman's re- marks, an address was given by. Mr. Carroll, who, while lamenting the re- strictions in the matter of new farm machinery exhibits owing to wartime conditions,' assured' the committee that there would be machinery. demonstrations. There are many used machines that :can be used, also, there will be demonstrations of re- pairing and refitting of olds machin- es. Sub -committee chairmen who re- ported progress in their departments included Gordon McGavin, county warden George Armstrong, W. L. Whyte, J. E. Eckert, W. J. Gamble, Archie Morgan, Percy Passmore, George Waldie., Wilmot Haacice, Ross McGregor, A. J. MgMurray and W. L; Clark. Mr. McPherson of the H.E. P.C. also outlined his plans for hydro service. A meeting of county representa- tives from Bruce, Grey, Lanhbton, Middlesex and Perth wee held in the board room Thursday' night at which the• question of intercounty co-oper: Mien was taken up. �.rV Huron -Perth Agriculture Meeting Well Attended A meeting of the northern section (Heron -Perth) Interceenty Agricul tore Societies of, Huron, Perth, Midi' dlesex, and Lambton.was held in the town , hall here on T i crsdjay evening„ and was said, th'e, secretary, of the organization to be the most largely attended meeting in the history of the organization, There were up- ward of 100 delegates present, 20 of whom were women. The meeting was in charge of W. H. Mitchell, Moore - town, the president, who, after ex- pressing gratification at the progress of the organization ,gave a brief re- port of the condition of the associa- tion including an encouraging finan- cial report. Mayor A. 3. McMurray :extended -a civic welcome to the delegates, and told about the growth of the Clinton Spring Stock Show. Gordon Young, a school inspector of Middlesex county ,the next speak- er, dealt mainly with the rural school fairs. He urged that these be contin- ued) as ontin-ued_as• being of great educational val- ue, and also urged that pupils should exhibit only their own work whether in art or handicraft. The poorest specimen on exhibition is of more value and interest if original than a much more perfect gone• if teacher, parent, big brother or 'sister assisted or did it :all. He advocated consolida- tion of rural school sections' with a view to better educatainal results, better school accommodation and housing ,and also from the viewpoint of reducted expenditure in salaries and maintenance. Dr. A. R. Campbell, V.S., Hensall, spoke en "Health Standard's in Live Stock." The importance of health in cattle, hogs and poultry, said the speaker, may be assumed from the fact that the greater number: of dis- eases, by which humans are afflicted originated in the lower animals-. He particularly stressed the importance of sterilizing all milking utensils, and disinfection of, pens, stables, feeding troughs ,and so on. Advantage was taken of the pres- ence • in Clinton, on International Plowing Match business, of J. A. Carroll, Toronto, general secretary of. the International, to invite him to ad- dress the group. He urged the .pro- duction of the maximum in quantity and highest in quality of all farm products, particularly in this crucial year of the war. Because of the cut- ting off of manufacture of farm machinery he urged that the best pos- sible care be taken of all machinery now on the farms' pointing out that they must last for the duration and no one knows how long afterward. Societies represented in the atten- dance were: Clinton, Bayfield, Blyrfih, Exeter, Hensall, Goderich, Howick, Lucknow, Zurich, Stratford, Seeforth, Mitchell, Listowel, Kirkton, St. Marys. After the addresses, , the women delegates repaired to the board' room of the agricultural office where they were addressed by Mrs:. Matthews, Mooretown and Miss Flora Durnin, Dungannon. v OBITUARY WILLIAM WAITE William Waite, who farmed for many years in his native Hullett Township, but who had lived for 35 years in Goderich, died Thursday morning.

Mr. Waite was a lifelong Pres- byterian, elder of the Auburn church, and for 24 years a member of the session of Knox church, Goderich. He had been a school trustee, a Sunday school teacher, a Forester and a Lib- eral. He is survived by two daugh- ters, Mss. J. F. Robinson and Miss Bessie Waite, and a grandson, all of Goderich; also a twin sister, Mrs. John Vodden, of Clinton.

The Air Training Conference Aviation Experts of Fourteen Nations Discuss Air Training Plans at Ottawa Perhaps the most important and dramatic conference ever held in Canada was the- United. Nations Air Training Conference which opened in Ottawa May 19. Fourteen nations were represented: Canada, The United Kingdom, The United States, Austra- lia, New Zealand, South 'Africa, Bel- gium, Poland, Gzeehoslovakia, Nor- way, The Netherlande, Yugoslavia, Greece and China. Prominent political representatives as well as noted • airmen headed the delegation. `Among them were Capt. Harold Balfour, the. British Under- Secretary for Air, and Robert A. Lov- ett, U.S: Assistant Secretary; of Tat, for Air, ,while, the Canadian . delega- ;tion was; headed ,by Air Minister 0. 4. hang -the co14.1.41 4iemen v►ere Air; Marshall, ,Philip Babington, and WAR... CANADA'S GREATEST INDUSTRY Starting from scratch—without factor- ies, without trained personnel, without blue -prints — Canada's scant twelve million people have built a tremendous armament -industry.. Guns, tanks, motorized vehicles, planes, ships, small arms, explosives—equip- ment. of every kind•—•are today in mass proditetioh. We have created a navy of. 400 ships. We have equipped fighting forces of 450,000 men. We have played the major role in the British Common- wealth Air Training Plan, one of the greatest schools for fighting airmen the world has ever seen. • Such in broad outline is Canada's proud record. Much more remains to be done. Still greater, effort, still greater self- denial must be the solemn pledge of all till victory is. won. This advertisement is published as a contri.. bution to the general knowledge of our country's war effort and as an inspiration through the days ahead. For reasons of security complete figures are not available The facts presented however, are impres- sive evidence of the growing might of Canada's war machine. / THE ROYAL BANK OF CANADA CLINTON BRANCH - . E. E. PATERSON, Manager Air Marshal Gamed from Britain both noted fliers of the last war: Major - Gen. Barton K. Yount, Chief of the Flying Training Command, U.S. Arany Air Forces; Major -Gen, T. H. Shen, Comamnder of the Chinese Air For- ces training in the U.S:; Major -Gen. L. H. Van Oyen, Comniander of the Netherlands East Indies Air Force before the fall of Java; Group Cap- tain ' Sznuk of the Polish Air Force, now with the R.A.F., who received the loudest applause at the opening ceremonies when apologizing for his English, by adding: "The best Eng- lish a Polish airman speaks is with the machine guns of his English fighter plane"; and Col. Alexander Hess of the Czechoslovak Air Force, later with the R.A.F., where he com- manded a fighter squadron and won the D.F.C. during the Battle of Britain. Every night during the conference, the CBC presented special broadcasts by Willson. Woodside. Mr. Woodside had as his guests many of the visiting Airmen and interviewed them on the air. Canada's Air Marshall Johnson and also Air Vice -Marshal Harold, Ed- wards, just back from England, were inembers of the Canadian delegation; both spoke far CBC listeners. The BBC asked Mr. Woodside also to make a special broadcast for Eng- land. Below is the text of the broad- cast which was sent to New York by land' lines, and then beamed by wire- less telephone to London. (Hugh Whitney Morrison, Supervisor of CBC Talks, who covered the confer- ence for the CBG, furnished the fore- going oregoing summary.) By Willson Woodside I spent the whole week observing the United Nations Air Training Con- ference at Ottawa, and had close con- tacts with all of the leading delegates, most of whom I had the opportunity of interviewing over the air. It was my decided impression that the con- ference grew more cordial with each passing day, and was achieving more than many of the delegations had ex- pected. Particularly- did this seem true of the Americans, There can be no doubt but that the conference gave them a new idea of the extent of our training programme in Canada. In fact, General Yount, chief of the American Training .Command admit- ted as Tnuoh during a visit to the Up- lands Service Flying School near Ot- tawa ,and declared that he had seen no finer training activities anywhere. At Ail Minister Power's final press conference, General Yount, who im- pressed the correspondents with his friendly .and :straightforward manner, had this to say: "It has been a very successful conference. We didn't come her for pleasantries, but got right down to brass' tacks: and accomplished a great deal. The committees worked hard, and were generally unanimous. We are taking back a great deal of information. In addition to this, there were the intangible gains, of the eon - femme, the friendships formed, the meeting between opposite numbers, and. the cementing of closer relations. From now on we will know the man at the other end of the line, and can pick up the telephone and ask him what's what. "So far as i know,' General Yount continued, "there is, not one, thing which anyone has in his mrind, as he leaves this < conference . which •ig' not pleasant. There have been arguments,. taut nothing we couldn't iron. out; We are all going.: away.':tfeeling that Tee Men;; Women ,Over4O Feel Weak,Worn, Old? Want Normal Pep, Vim, Vitality 7!

"Plain English" In private conversation later, Group -Captain Sznuk, the quiet little Pole, who made the now -famous re- mark during the opening session, that "We Poles speak English best with 12 maohine guns of our Hurri- canes", assured ire that very import- ant work had been done. His com- panion, Colonel Ilinski capped this by saying that if all of the international conferences of the past 20 years brad achieved as much, most of the nations participating at Ottawa this week would. have been saved their terrible ordeal. Group -Captain Hess and Wing -Commander Ambrus, both of whom led Czech fighter squadrons in the Battle of Britain, were just as positive. The main purpose of the conference was to diseuse the co-ordination of training methods and standards among the Allied nations. But General Yount and Captain Balfour reproved several misconceptions about this during the final meeting with press and radio correspondents. It was not their idea General Yount, said ,ta form a single pool of Allied airmen. None of the delegations felt that an indiscrimin- ate mixing up of air crew would make for efficiency. The central aim, Captain Balfour interjected, was to get a positive, quick flow of informa- tion frgm the various fighting theatres to the partners in training, to get an organization which would reflect that experience and translate it into a rapid: modification of train- ing. They had also to relate their training to the strategical plan, so that, presumably, they wouldn't be training a great many men for desert flying if they planned to attack in the Arctic, or vice versa. U.S. Methods Make Hit The attitude of the American par- ticularly impressed the other mem- bers of the conference. A Canadian delegate tdld me that the way they went at things., and after listening carefully and discussing a few points, were able to reach an immediate de- cision ,was a great tonic to the others. One of the most important figures in the Canadian war effort ,a man noted himself for getting things: done, re- marked the same to me about a re- cent visit to Washington. Instead of writing memoranda and'paesing these about for month, he said, if an Ane- eriean official was satisfied that a certain proposal would help get on faster with the war, he would simply take up the telephone and order it to' be done. There can be nothing but satisfaction that the permanent training committee set up by this oonference.is to have its headquarters in Washington. All in all, the oonferenee, repre- senting as it didl the great training programmes of Britain, the United States, Canada and the Conrnion- wealth,' the very substantial pro- gramme '011 the Norwegian • ;and. the developing paoga'amenes of the Poles, Czechs,, Cbinetse'anid Dutch on this. centime*, gave one a strong feeling of power;'intelligenke end unity.
