Bill Dale, married, with a young- ster to divide his attention, served his period of time as a "white collar man" as well as that of hard work on the farm as a young man. He was a bank clerk stationed in one of those busy, teeming centres of commerce downtown in Toronto. He survived for quite some time and had he re- mained with the firm would no doubt be manager of some busy branch now. He was sick and tired of figures and perspiring patrons worrying over debts and taxes. He wanted to get back on the farm. Bill likes.to smoke a pipe and good, strong tobacco. In fact it doesn't seem right when you `meet him if he hasn't got the pipe in his mouth. Drop in at the farm on a slack day and he'll be currying a horse or talk- ing abort horses with a neighbor or a stranger. He is certainly the man for the job -Chairman of the Teams Committee.

He knows , that teams are vital to the success of the match and he wants and will see that from the team, angle the International Plowing Match in Huron county will be an unqualified success, "Here's a chance for the people of Huron county to really show the country what they can do," Bill says. "Let's put this plowing match over in a really big way', Wo can do 1t , . . we will do it' with the full co- operation of everybody in 'the best county in Canada, -Enron county."
