Discussion followed men- tion in the report of the agri- culture committee, presented by Reeve 3. Roy Adair, of Wing - ham, .chairman, It said: "Your local site committee met with representatives from the Ontario Plowmen's Associa- tion regarding the possible lo- cation of the 1966 match. The committee from the Ontario Plowmen's Association has se- lected a site at Seaforth as their choice. We hope that an over- all committee will be formed soon to commence planning for the 1966 Plowing Match in Huron." "There has been a lot of en- quiries from all over Canada, especially Ea stern Canada," said Mr. Adair. "We should have 150,000 people in 1966. You have all some local news- papers with articles—I do not know where they got their in- formation, but there is no truth in them. The site committee went over the county and pick- ed out locations suitable to ac- commodate the match, and that required 50 acres, with 50 or 60 of high, dry land for the tented city. Then we reported to the O.P.A. what we had done. After the Caledon snatch they came up and we met in Clinton, and had four possible sites throughout the county, right from north to south. "We toured the sites and they did the choosing, and were influenced in no way by the committee. They chose the one they considered met the require- ments. There is a tremendous amount of detail about this; you have to have good plowing land, not too many fences, and access is a main feature. We had with us representatives from the On- tario Police, and they do not like sites on a highway. Cars come 40,000 a day, starting about nine a.m., and after 1:30 or 2, we were told, it drops.

Reeve Stewart Procter, Mor- ris: "We exercised no influence whatever, or put any pressure on the Ontario Plowmen's Asso- ciation. All we did was show them the four different sites and let them decide, They had representatives f r o m police, Hydro, telephone companies, and these also advised the O.P.A, in regard to facilities, and on parking and available water supplies." Reeve Adair: "The committee of 20 should be picked before spring. The land is under cul- tivation, but will be seeded in spring, and we should have about two-year-old grass for the tented city." Reevve Tom Leiper, Hullett: "It is the feeling that Huron County Plowmen's Association should carry this through, work- ing along with the agriculture committee." •Warden Forbes: "I am pleased they picked the isite they did; because if there is any money to be made Huron should be able to get it, not the people of some other county. If a loss, it would be on the part of Huron." Reeve Glenn Webb, Stephen: "A lot of stuff in the papers has been quite bitter, and developed into a sort of family fight which won't do us any good with po- tential customers. We, in Stephen, of course, were disap- pointed when our site was not chosen. I was privileged to be a member of the group at the Caledon match, and probably the most important thing we found out 'is that holding a plowing match is a whale of a big job and needs the whole- hearted co-operation of every- body concerned. Last Thursday the agriculture committee•were in the area where the match will be held and I can assure you all it is a good site. "We have two facts: the match is coming to Huron in 1966; the site has been chosen, and what- ever disappointment or dis- agreement there is nothing to be gained by further accusations and denials. I call upon every- one who worked so hard to get the match her in '66 and those who have w o r k ed for their own particular sites to use their energies now, that are probably being wasted in other forms, to snake this a success." (Applause) A published report from To- ronto regarding provincial assis- tance to low -assessment muni- cipalities for road maintenance, including snowplowing, was not coQuErEt, CERISE..

(Dig ffi S vISINOA eD,ANirt¢S ST. JOSEPH and DRYSDALE .At,,, FRED OUCHARMiE,, Correspondent Mr. and Mrs. Morris Durand of the 14th concession and Mr, and Mrs, Harry Deitrich and family of Zurich were Sunday visitors' with Mr. and Mrs. Dolph Sopha, Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Bedard and Mr. and Mrs. P. Dueharme, of Windsor, spent the weekend with their parents on this high- way. Mr. and Mrs. Garfield De- nomme and Mrs. Adel in e Denomy motored to London on entirely clear to •council mem- bers. Reeve Donald McKenzie, Ashfield, asked deputy clerk - treasurer B. G. Hanly, who at- tended the conference of mayors and reeves in Toronto, if he could elaborate. "It was my understa i ling," Mr. Hanly said, "that the prov- ince was coming out with a new formula on subsidies, to be based on assessment and road mileage. If you had a high road mileage and low assess- ment the subsidy would be in- creased accordingly, from 50% to a maximum of 80. Munici- palities with high enough assess- ment to give them a $600 -per - mile ratio would still receive 50%. "They have not named the municipalities it will affect in Huron, but there are five that will benefit, and they will be receiving word in the next few days: Grey, Turnberry, Morris, McKillop and East Wawanosh." Replying to an enquiry from Reeve Adair about urban muni- cipalities, Mr. Hanly said: "Hon. Mr. McNaughton explained that towns on connecting links and they had increased subsidies to storm sewers and could not af- ford to go any further at present." Saturday last, Mrs. Denomy will remain in London for some- time with her daughter and son-in-law, Mr, and Mrs. Norman Overholt. Children of school age were happy last week for a few days of holidays, which they always enjoy, it being the teachers' convention. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Denomme and family, of Windsor, were visitors at the home of the former's another and other mem- bers of the family, but regret - ably Mrs, Denomme, at time of writing, is in South Huron Hos- pital undergoing treatment. Mr. and Mrs, Paul Dueharme of the 15th concession motored to Windsor over the weekend and while there visited with several relatives and friends. Mr. William (Boy) Dueharme was a Sunday visitor in London with his daughter and son-in- law, Mr, and Mrs. Harvey Haw- kins. Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Masse, of London, called with relatives in this neighbourhood on Sun- day last. The nice weather of the past weekend meant much to those who have cottages along the lake, to take advantage of the mild weather to put all in order for another summer. Of course there were others who had no cottages but went down the bank perhaps to take a last view of the lake for the present year. Unusual Weather On Sunday night last and on to dawn on Monday morning• much rain fell, mixed with chunks of hail large in size and if the hailstones would have continued to fall there could have been much damage from it. The rain was still needed due to the land being dry for so long. It was accompanied by a severe electrical storm which is unusual for this time of year. Old timers predict mild weather followed such storms for six weeks. Well, should this be true it would shorten the winter and then with Easter coming in March, when all are looking for spring, Immediately after, the whole thing could turn out to be an open winter, or if not it would shorten it very much. Open winters were not always ap- proved by oldtimers who claim they are unhealthy due to changeable and mild weather. Well, to me there is little dif- ference suffered from changes or suffered from bitter cold. 7 points to insist on when buying a furnace romeftw Heavy Gauge Steel Combustion Chamber with full 20 -year Guarantee V Compact, Modem Styling Wide acceptance for over 100 years Cyclonic Flue Design Fiberglas Insulation Quiet, Vibration -free Operation Efficient, Economical Performance' CLARE WINTER AIR CONDITIONERS HAVE All 7 QUALITY FEATURES When buying a furnace — consider quality first. -The investment is a substantial one and the comfort and well-being of your family is at stake.
