The draw will he held in Toronto on PLOWING MATCH On October ' 13, 14, 15 and 16, Huron county will play host to thousands of people as the Interna Menai Plowing Match is staged on a site in Huilett township. The question may be asked, "Why should there be a plowing match during war -time?" It is a fair ques- tion deserving a fair answer: The International Plowing Match this year has a mammoth job to `,do. Not only will it be -encouraging young men to plow, but it will also be the means of demonstrating to the farm public the ways and means being adopted by all those interested in agriculture to cope with present conditions, Indications are that the farm machinery 'demonstration in 1942 will be the largest in the his- tory of the match„ Not only will the farm machinery companies be patronizing the Inter- national but the various govern- mental agencies will be making the. best of the opportunity to show On- tario what they are doing for the farmer.. There are also indications that the various breed associations in the county, including the Hol- stein and Ayrshire clubs, will spon- sor educational exhibits, The York- shire swine breeders have given ind- ications that they are also planning an exhibit. Some 4500 acres of land have been selected and approved by the executive of the Ontario Plowmen's Association. Incidentally, the Ontar- io Plowmen's Association regard the site as one of the finest they have ever had. Situated in hlullett town- ship, with headquarters on the W. L. Whyte farm, the land is fertile and very' adaptable to the purposes of the plowing match. It has all been generously donated for the duration of the plowing match without charge by the owners. Staging a plowing match in Hur- on this year represents a great deal of work by men who for the most part are farmers and who have plenty of ordinary farm problems to worry them. At a time when labor is scarce they are undertaking the staging of the snatch, and each one of them is determined that he will do his share towards • making the International this year one of the greatest in the history of the fostering organization, the Ontario Plowmen's Association, It is our purpose each week to acquaint you with various phases of the work in connection with the match, introducing to you the vari- ous committee chairmen and tell you of their duties. They need help and they will welcome suggestions. If there is any information you de- sire in connection with the plowing match, kindly write direct to J. C. Shearer, Clintbn. Mr. Shearer, the agricultural' rep- resentative for Huron county, who is working at the present time on I the wartime program as laid down by the Ontario Minister of Agricul- ture, will act as secretary for the Huron plowing match committee. This committee incorporates the North and 'South Huron plowing match committee as well as others who are helping with the great of Seaforth h' h 11 2• 00 direct 1' project. to send ci arettes each month to the 7th at one p.m.—Thos.

Have. you re- solved to do what you can to aid in this world struggle? If not will you dp it today. There is only one organ- isation in Seaforth apart from the Red Shield calling for you as a worker; that is the, local Red Cross Society, This local Seoiety regularly, receives its quotas from headquar- ters, Do you know that very often these quotas have to be done only in part, not because the material is not available but because there are not the workers to do the work. There are plenty of women in Seatorth to do the work, but they have not volunteered their services, Many have worked hard but think what could be accomplished if every `woman who could, would work as conscientiously as the few. More sewers, more knitters and More quilters are urgently needed. Won't you call at the work room on Friday afternoon and enlist as a worker. His Majesty, ICing George VI, said "We aro all in the front line.” Are you with him? INAUGURAL MEETINGS The inaugural meeting of Sea - forth council on Monday was' opened, with prayer by Rev. Fr.
