As chairman of the
International Plowing Match
team and horse show
committee this year, Jim
Aitchison of RR 2, Lucknow,
sees hiscomrnittee's job as
finding accommodation near
the IPM site for horses,
providing hay and straw for
them, and supplying horses
to people who want to
compete in the horse plowing
competition, but don't have
horses.
Ultimately, the job of any
of the 23 committees
organizing IPM '78, Mr.
Aitchison said, is "to make
things as pleasant as we can
for anybody who comes to
the plowing match".
There really won't be a
horse show at the match in
the traditional sense, as
most of the 34 to 40 horses
expected at IPM '78 will be

there for plowing. Some
'show type' trophies will be
awarded to plow horses.
The remaining horses will
be at the match for the huge
parade, which will be held
daily at 1 p.m., or will be in
the tented city promoting
products and services, Mr.
Aitchison said.
Plowing, and plowing with
horses in particular, has
become a much smaller part
of the International Plowing
Match. since its inception in
1913. The match was
designed to be a test of
plowing skills, but even-
tually expanded to include a
farm machinery show.
Plowing is just a small
part of the IPM today, Mr.
Aitchison said.
Plowing with horses is just
as popular with spectators as
plowing using tractors, he
said. On a nice day, he noted,
there is a whole field full of
retired farmers who used to
do farm work with horses
and want to .rekindle some
memories.
All seven members of the
team and horse show
committee either show
horses at competitions, or
have shown them, Mr.
Aitchison said. Glenn
Johnston, Fordwich; Sam
Pletch, Belgrave; Bob
Aitchison, Lucknow;
Tommy -Leiper, Londesboro;
Tom Penhale, Bayfield; and
Arnold Young, Goderich, are
all members of the com-
mittee, under Mr. Ait-
chison's leadership. He

shows his Belgians at
competitions.
The committee has
secured space for horses in
several barns near the
match site, and Mr. Ait-
chison said area farmers,
especially Murray Jenkins,
have been quite co-operative
in providing room for the
show and plow horses. The
committee provides hay and
straw for plow horses, he
noted, and makes hay and
straw available to owners of
horses at the match only for
promotion or the parade.
Some horses will be
staying in the tented city and
won't need accommodation
at a neighboring barn. A
number of feed and seed
companies use horses in
their displays in the tented
city, Mr. Aitchison said.
Though committee work
takes quite a bit of his time
and even money, Mr. Ait-
chison is proud to be part of
this year's match, which is
expected to attract 250,000
people September 26 to 30.
• "It's really an honor to
participate in a thing like
this, in our part of the
county," he said. This year's
plowing match is the first
time IPM has come to this
end of the county in his
lifetime "and I don't expect
I'll ever see it again" in this
area, he said.
A tremendous amount of
work is involved in
producing a plowing match,
Mr. Aitchison said, and
everyone involved must
really participate and not let
others do all the work.
So when the horses are
seen in the parade or in
Plowing competitions at IPM
'78, they got there through a
team effort.

The June U.C.W. meeting
was attended by 31 members
and 6 visitors and was
opened by a poem read by

reading on building per-
sonalities. Sylvia Neeb
played two piano solos. Ina

time.
