Panthers Drop Purple Bow Debut South.- Huron District High School Panthers, crippled with injuries, gave everything they had on a snow-covered gridiron at the Purple Bowl in London Saturday but it wasn't enough to stop a smooth, experienced football ma- chine from Sarnia St. Pat's.

Barrie, of Galt, Ont., a past president of the Ontario Plowmen's Association and manager of the Canadian plowing team at the third an- nual World Plowing Match in Sweden, has sent home on -the - spot reports of his trip with= team members Joe Tran, of Claremont, Ont.. and Ivan Mc- Laughlin, of, Stouffville. Ont. Here is the fourth of his re- ports). UPPSALA, SWEDEN.—Of all the plowing teams—from 12 different countries—none were looking for- ward any more eagerly than we were, to making the last leg of the journey to the site of the 1955 World Plowing Match. We Cana- dians had travelled almost half way around the world, by train, by boat and by plane, and now we, along with the 11 other teams,' were boarding a bus to travel the last few miles to the match site, on the Royal Agricultural Farm, just outside this old city of 75.000. The college is part of the Uni- versity of Uppsala. One of the old- est universities in Europe, it was established in 1477, fifteen years before Columbus discovered Amer- ica. On the hillside at the rear of the hotel is the Uppsala Cathedral, an immense red brick building with three spires reaching -into the sky. This is Sweden's largest cathedral, and although the out- side of the building is quite plain and cold looking, inside it is one of the most beautiful we have ever seen. However, we did not have too much time for sight-seeing at this point, for we had to get ready for the match. When we arrived at the grounds. we could see that pre- parations had been underway for some time, as a large number of implements of all makes were on display. Instruct Judges The first day was spent in dem- onstrating to the judges what to look for in the competition. We in Ontario who have been connected our dual-purpose Shorthorns and are very popular in Sweden. Unveil Cairn The official opening the next day was attended by about 12,000 peo- ple. To mark the site permanent- ly, a cairn was unveiled on the Agricultural College grounds a short distance from the match field. A model of a plow sur- mounted the cairn, and a plaque noted the contribution which plows and plowmen make to tire peace of the world. A similar cairn had been unveiled a few weeks earlier at Cobourg, Ont., where the first world match was held in 1953. The Swedish minister of agricul- ture. Hon. Sam Norup, speaking in Swedish and then in English, traced the history of plowing from the early days and, with the help of two Swedish girl students dress- ed in native attire, unveiled the fifth, large clothes hamper, Mrs. Claude Noblaugh.

ONTARIO STREET CHURCH, CLINTON OPENS NEW EDUCATIONAL WING Many who attended Sunday School in Ontario Street United Church in former years were re- newing, old acquaintances on Sun-! day: Mr. and Mrs. John Gibbings. of Stratford; Mr. and Mrs. Robert Fisher, of Stratford; Mr. and Mrs. E. Livermore. of London; Miss Marian Thompson. of Hamilton; Mrs. Penfound and sons. of Lon- desboro; Rev. and Mrs. T. Ruther- ford, of St. Thomas; Mrs. Mein-' nis. 'of Stratford; ,Mr. and Mrs. Hohner, of Varna: Mr. and Mrs. Vincent, of Goderich: Mr. and Mrs. Cairns, of Owen Sound; Mrs.' (Rev.) 'Moorehouse. of London, and many others. Our sympathy is extended to the Elliott family in the death of their CRUEL AND UNUSUAL This unpleasant distinction made for offenders is "cruel and unusual." So say some about the new license legisla- tion dealing with drivers con- victed in highway accident cases. • - We wonder! "Unusual," cer- tainly. But "cruel"? Let us see. Mr. X, over -confident one evening, because "one or two for the road" had given him an exaggerated idea of his mastery over his death ma- chine, killed a boy. The boy was at fault—but he died. Tragedy crashed into a hone when that car struck. An extreme case? Yes, but only one of the many. Surely such offenders are fortunate that their red licenses don't have to be worn conspicuous- ly on their person. even as the Scarlet Letter in Colonial days. This red license will serve as a constant reminder of a dangerous weakness. It is expected that about 2.000 On- tario motorists will be affect- ed annually. C r ue 1? No! Congratula- tions to our highways minister. the Hon. James N. Allan, and our legislators—(Advt.). mother at this time. formerly Ber- tha Graham. of Goderich Town- ship, We are pleased to report an im- proved condition of the two men who were accidentally shot last week, Mr. Clarke Ball and Mr. Keith Tyndall. We hope they may soon be out again. Open New Church Wing The official opening of the new Christian Education wing of On- tario Street Church took place on Sunday, November 27, with Rev. A. G. Eagle and three former min• isters officiating. Rev. W. J. Wool- frey preached the sermon on "The Christian Church. Our Heritage and Hope." from Acts 2:29-47. Rev. G. G. Burton offered prayer. The choir rendered two anthems. "How Lovely Are Thy Dwellings" and "Great and Marvellous." After the morning service the congregation, led by Rev. Eagle and the choir singing Hymn 514, "These Things Shall Be a Loftier Race, etc."P roceeded theto new building where the service of dedi- cation was held and Mr. William Plumsteel cut the ribbon and Mr. George Levis presented the keys to the minister. Open house was held in the af- ternoon from 2:30 to 5 p.m., when guests were shown through the new building and returned to the church parlor for a cup of tea. Many old friendships were renew- ed during this period. In the evening Rev. Thomas Rutherford. from St. Thomas; Rev. H. C. Wilson, of Wesley -Willis; Very Rev. A. A. Scott. from Gen- eral Council; Rev. C. C. Washing- ton, of Auburn, representing Hur- on Presbytery. and Rev. F. G. Far - rill, of Hamilton, assisted, and the latter preached the sermon on "The Armour of God•" from Ephe- sians 6:10-20. Reception and open house fol- lowed from 9 to 10 p.m. Turner's quartette assisted the choir in the evening, singing "God Leads Us Along." A congregation turkey supper was served on Monday evening, with a concert following. • memorial. The governor of the province of Uppsala, Dr. Andres a tall distinguished looking gen- tleman, alhazed the audience by speaking in Swedish, German, French and perfect English, and finally declared the competition open. Next the plowmen had lunch in a tent and then lined up their tractors and plows for a parade to the field. They were allowed to set their stakes and line up the tractors at the scratch, and at five minutes to 12 a blue warn- ing •rocket was fired ann at 12 noon a red rocket was fired as the starting signal. Later twelve judges, one from each participat- ing country, started to score the work and although it was not an- nounced until the following eve- ning, Ivan McLaughlin, of Can - jade, received the highest score for stubble. Joe Tran, his team mate, did as well if not better than Ivan, but ran into some hard luck which lowered his score. The next day, when they plowed grassland, the teams were told to be on hand one hour earlier in order to be finished and ready for the banquet. The day was ideal for plowing and long before the starting rocket was fired, an immense crowd had gathered. The field was roped off to keep the crowd off the headlands and benches were placed outside the ropes. Loud Applause As each plowman turned out at the end after finishing his land, loud clapping could be heard from the crowd gathered beyond the headland. While the plowing was in pro- gress, a number of airplanes were giving a demonstration of crop spraying near by, and the pilots showed great skill, flying under the hydro and telephone wires and skimming along about two feet from the ground, sending out a spray that would completely cov- er any crop. It could be readily seen by this time that Hugh Barr, of Northern Ireland. last year's winner of the Esso Golden Plow, had done an outstanding job and was likely to repeat his win of last year. Ivan McLaughlin, of Canada, and Hugh Barr's team mate, Langford Gilli- land, were running neck and neck. Everyone was on pins and needles waiting for the results. The News Is Out The judges handed in their score cards shortly after the plowing ended and the auditors were soon busy tabulating the results. We returned to the hotel and had just finished cleaning up at the hotel when word came that the returns were out. The fact that Northern Ireland, Canada and Great Britain shared the first six placings was received with much rejoicing by Her Majesty's loyal subjects present. When it was learned that Ivan McLaughlin had received the high score in stubble plowing and Hugh Barr the highest in sod, with Hugh's combined score a little more than Ivan's, they were soon with the International Match for many years feel that bur score card is just about right. However. when the ideas of 12 countries have to be considered, compro- mises have to be made. On the Wednesday, the plowmen from the 12 countries were allot- ted plots of land on which to prac- tise, and these workouts created just about as much interest as a real plowing match. On Thursday. the time was again used for prac- tice. We also had time on Thursday to visit the dairy barn on this farm where a fine herd of Swedish red and white dairy cattle is kept. These cattle are very much like the centre of a cheering crowd, We proceeded at once to send a cable to Toronto for our trip spon- sor, Imperial Oil, and shortly af- ter. John Bradshaw, the Esso farm reporter, telephoned from Toronto to get the results: Be- cause of the difference in the time between Canada and Sweden, peo- ple in Canada knew the result several hours. so to speak, before the plowing took place! Colorful Banquet The banquet which was sponsor- ed by the Swedish Young Farmers. was a most colorful affair, with a setting that would be hard to sur- pass anywhere. The castle which is now the home of the governor of Uppsala was built in the 13th century on an elevation not unlike the Citadel at Quebec. With its six-foot thick walls it must have been considered almost impregnable in the early days. The stairways leading to the ban- quet hall and also to the dance hall are very wide and built on immense slabs of stone. By closing your eyes you would almost imagine you could see knights in shining armour with shields and spears, climbing the stairs. The meal was typically Swedish with many kinds of fish and cold sliced meats, and the amount and variety of drinks were unlimited. When the Golden Plow was pre sented to Hugh Barr, the glare from the TV lights and the flash bulbs was almost blinding. The second prize winner, our own Ivan McLaughlin, received a large cup and the third place winner a small- er one. The dance which followed was enhanced by the native Swedish costumes worn by the orchestra and many of the dancers. All those who attended will not soon forget the banquet in the old Swedish castle, signifying the close of the 1955 world championship plowing match. Alr s.
