(Standard Photo) Blyth kids win at school fair Students at the Blyth Public School must be academically inclined if the prizesthey mit at the Belgrave, Blyth and Brussels school fair on Wednesday are any indication. They won approximately 550 prizes for their school work and a total of 570 prizes altogether. Officials and dignitaries taking part in this year's fair program included Murray Gaunt, M.P.P. for Huron -Bruce; Bob McKinley, M.P. for Huron - Middlesex; Don Pullen, Ag. Rep. for Huron; Bill Elston, Reeve of Morris Tonwship; Fair Board president Ross Procter and the man who officially opened the fair -- Cliff Robb, CKNX farm director. Belgrave correspondent, Mrs. Lewis Stonehouse has provided some of the History of this children's fair out of a book called the East Wawanosh Township which was written by a committee of people from East Wawanosh. Chairman of the commit- tee was Walter Scott of Wingham. To explain the school fair it is necessary to go back to the first agricultural fairs which were held in Belgrave. An agricultural society was first formed in Belgrave in 1886 yfor the purposeof holding an annual fair and building a • hall in which to display the products shown. The first president was Charles Procter. The directors were Robert Scott, Finlay Anderson, James Oeveus and John Coultes. George Procter built the hall. Smaller farm products were displayed in the hall while the animals were tied up on the fairgrounds and brought into the ring to be judged. THe fair which was shared by Morris and East Wawanosh Townships stopped in 1904 and the building only remained standing for a few years after that. This fair probably led to the interest in forming the Belgrave School Fair. In 1920, school trustees from the vicinity of Belgrave met with S.B. Stothers, the first agricultural representative of Huron County and or- ganized the Belgrave School Fair. Richard Procter of Morris Townships was the first president and John Wightman of East Wawanosh Township was the secret- ary. Teachers, councillors and others con- tributed money for funds for prizes. The Forester's Hall now the Women's Institute Hall and the Prebyterian and United Church sheds were all used to display the entries. About eight schools took part in the fair. - The fair was held every year except 1937 when an outbreak of polio forced a cancellation of all fairs in the county.' In the early years of the fair each student was given a packet of vegetable or grain seeds and ten packets of flower seeds went to each section (school). The sections also received three settings of barred rock hen eggs but this was soon discontinued. The Department of Agriculture withdrew its financial assistance from the fair in 1930 and the Department of Education which financed seed expenses from 1932 to 1939 followed suit and withdrew its help in 1940. For this reason many school fairs were closed but Belgrave kept on with the fair funds being used to purchase seeds. Each student then received one packet of flower seeds and one packet of vegetable seeds. The fairboard continues to provide this service today. Concerts, recitations and public speaking were held throughout the years of the fair but this was discontinued in 1966, as a move into big central schools was planned. This was also when it became the Belgrave, Blyth and Brussels school fair. In 1945 after the East Wawanosh school area was formed all. the schools of the township entered the fair as well as Numbers 3, 5, and 7 from Morris which meant that at that time there were 14 schools (Continued on Page 1:7)) Shoppers delight Stores open The Blyth Merchants are getting ready for next week, Whatshapper:ing next week you ask?

Their tiny hands and animated faces make people wonder just how smart or intelligent they really arc. There is a gentleman in Auburn who has taken up rasing squirrel monkeys as a hobby and enjoys watching them to no end. For the past nine years Gerrit Bcimers has bred and had small families grow up right in his backyard. At present there are two mothers and their offspring in one pen and four others including the male, "Charlie" in the adjoining pen. (Continued on page 5 ) Daughterstops fire No serious damage occurred when fire broke out at the home of Mrs. Patricia Drake of Blyth on Wednesday, due to her daughter's quick action. The Blyth Fire Department answered the call but Mrs. Drake's daughter Faith had already extinguished the fire by the time they got there. The fire started when Faith ran into the bedroom after her brother Tommy and while she was there the baby turned on a burner on the stove. A plastic dish which was sitting on the stove caught fire and then the plastic started to run onto the floor which also caught on tire. A neighbour called the fire department but Faith had put the fire out with- water by the time they got there. FENCED GREEN --Putting up fence around a bowling green is no small matter. When the Blyth Lions Club decided to fence off the green Harvey McCallum, John Stewart and Jim Lawrie decided to, put up a fence that would stand for years. In the top photo Harvey hammered in the corner posts while John guided the post with a board on the ground. Next the. posts were cemented in and Jim 'was in charge of mixing. The end result of a weeks work was a sturdy fence. There are very few greens across Ontario thatare not protected by fencing. 2 THE BLYTH STANDARD, SEPTEMBER 20, 1978 United Church news "Your Healing is Within You" is the name of a book from which Rev.

Tips for filling the freezer Filling the freezer with summer produce makes it possible to enjoy delicious, fresh foods all year round, To make sure that all these foods maintain their fresh- ness, pay careful attention to packaging them properly. Food specialists at the Ontario Food Council, Ministry of Agriculture and Food, say that the purpose of packaging is to keep food from drying out and to preserve food value, flavor, color and texture. Choose bags, wrappings and containers that are moisture proof, vapor proof, odorless and tasteless for use in the feezer, Look for baggy made of special plastic, with no side seams anti labeled for freezing, Do not use clear bags used to wrap bread or produce. These bags hc,vc scams and have been de- signed simply for holding foods. Wrappings such as heavy-duty aluminum foil, plastic laminated freezer paper and plastic film, de- signed especally for freezing, are all acceptable. Schneiders WIENERS 1.15 1b. Reg.

Dennis Timbrell, Ontario Health Minister warned Kent (minty recently in a letter that if they were hoping to replace chemicals with biology in controlling mosquitos then they were indulging in wishfull thinking. Mr. Timbrell pointed out that some suggested biological controls may be more harmfuli and dangerous than the bio -control agents. He was Wwrricd that misconceptions may be developing over the potential control. Timbrell said bio -controls are being investigated throughout the world, but time and money will be needed before their safety and effectiveness is assured. We all have to understand the problem here of having a situation get out of hand and there not being any remedy for the new problem. 11 is unfortunate that the same amount of concern could not have been more expressed at the time the chemical DDT hit the market. We all know that although DDT is now binned) the chemical will remain in the environment for generations to come. Granted there is always pressure for solutions to be implemented before they are properly tested; and there are new and environmentally dangerous chemicals being created every day which will never be really thoroughly time tested before hitting the market. Long terns testing on contr oiled areas is costly and obviously time consuming. But what is more important, control of weeds and insects or safety of our future generations? Mr. Timbrell is on the right track but maybe his concern is misdirected. WHEEE! — Some Warton kids were out having fun at the slide in Walton park when the photographer snapped this picture of them.

The baby boom of the 1950's and 60's is now behind us, and for a variety of reasons, smaller families are now the order of the day. In •1976, there were 1,360,085 elementary school pupils enrolled in schools across. Ontario. This fall, that figure has dropped to 1,294,640 students and by 1986, experts predict the figure will have dropped to 1,192,366 students. In Huron County alone, the school enrolment has dropped 2.8 per cent from last year. What does declining enrolment in our schools mean? For some schools, particularly the older neighbourhood schools in urban centres, the declining enrolment means closure. The city of London has already been forced to close a number of its neighbourhood schools, despite the protests of parents and teachers and community organizations. The death of a neighbourhood school is a move which often speeds the disintegration of community feeling in a city neighbourhood but as pupil numbers decline, school boards can no longer afford to keep the smaller schools open. Although rural schools aren't as likely to be closed as those in the city, the day may come when classrooms will be boarded up or some parts of the school simply won't be used. The dwindling number of student is also having drastic effects on the job prospects of the teachers employed in our schools. Last year, there were 2,969 elementary school teachers who graduated from Ontario's colleges and universities - and 1,677 of these graduates ended up without classroom teaching jobs. Even graduates prepared to take jobs in the Far North may soon find these positions at a premium. The story is the same for secondary school teachers - last year 57 per cent of these graduates ended up without schools. Today school teachers have joined the ranks of other university - educated professionals who are collecting unemployment insurance or taking jobs out of their field. But declining enrolment isn't just affecting new teachers - it's also having an effect on teachers already in the classroom. The mobility which was once associated with the teaching profession is over. Today, if a teacher is fortunate enough to have a job, then there's far less chance that teacher can transfer to another board or another area of the province. A teacher who is frustrated teaching where he or she is now, is likely to have to remain in the same school longer or else consider leaving the teaching profession altogether Right now, the future for our schools doesn't look promising. The optimists among us still hope that as the number of students decreases, the quality of education will rise. A smaller pupil - teacher ratio should mean more time for the individual student. Unfortuantely, with. ,the provincial government reducing its payments to local school boards, and with the ordinary taxpayer footing more of the bill for our rising education costs, it seems likely that it will be some years before students reap any benefits from the declining enrollments.

Give Heart Fund Behind the Scenes by Keith R,oulston Football fiends The middlcast peace settlement may be . the big news on the front pages of the newspaper Monday morning, but the thing that slakes a good part of the population either happy or depressed on Monday morning is the score of the weekend football games, Football, of course, has become some- thing of a mania in North America in the last few years. Not only do people cheer for their teams these days, they also bet on them, Even if your team wins the game it often isn't enough for some people. Did they beat the points spread is often as important as the final score, Everybody who gambles no platter wh .at the particular game they're playing, likes to think there is some magic secret formula that will guarantee success, I have one %Olen it collies to shorts events Any one who wants to win big has only to lay a few bucks on plc, Now some people have complicated systems worked out on computer to beat the odds. My solution is simple by comparison. You don't need to be a nultltntatical genius .or study physics or the laws of probability. All'ou1 have to do is pay me 0 few bob to cheer for the other team. That guarantees that your team will win big. Now there's nothing new about this system. I can show you years of proof to show that it works. After all, i've cheered for the 'Toronto Argonauts since I was old enough to know what a football looked like. 'I'heArgor.auts, with my support, have been able to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory for more than 25 years. They're proving my theory all over again this year. I mean when a team can be 011 the other guys' one yard line and not only fumble the ball, but have . the opposition recover the fumble on the 40 y and line, that's exceptional. .lust to test my theory, l switched allegiance one night to the Montreal team. They were playing Ottawa and had a Canadian quarterback playing so I was hoping the Canadian kid could come through. It looked like he might as he marched his leant expertly down the field with a few seconds remaining and was on the 15 yard line. He went back to pass for the game -winning touch clown and . . . he fumbled. Game over, Ottawa wins. My expertise doesn't just extend to football by any means, I've cheered for Montreal Epos since the beginning. This year it looked like they were in a position t0 go for the top. They had good young fielders and hitters and strong pitching. But the hitters went cold when the pitcher's were good and the pitching was off when hitters started hitting. The Expos ‘vould put on a sprint ind they'd look like they were ready to make their stove, then they'd lose six straight and drop right back. And of course there are my other team in the other league, the good old Blue Jays. The Jays almost looked respectable there for a while this season as they won more games than ,they lost in July and August. It looked like an exciting wind-up to a poor season, Ah butthen t len Sc Irtcmbcr started and the Jay's looked like they'd headed south for the winter already. Hockey: well l'vechcered for the Leafs for years, which shouldtell you something about their chances to win the Stanley Cup this season, It's one of my personality flaws that I choose to cheer for the underdog. i dislike the New York Yankees with a vengeance (i cheered instead for Boston Red Sox to beat them and look what happened to them). I ch•cant of the day somebody will beat the Canadians. Give me a choice between a good team that's on top and 0 poor One and I'll inevitably choose the poor one, So it would seem that I get what 1 deserve except that you'd think over the years the poor by sheer luck would have to get better somewhere along the way. They don't have to though. The Argos prove that year after year. And even %hen 1 pick a frontrunner, my record is atrocious. When I started hoping the Yankees were going to get demolished it looked like they would, with Boston 14 games ahead. 'i'here are times i wish I was a betting man so 1 could stake use of this black cloud I put over teams. 'Then 1 could cheer forthc Argos and know that 1 was going to win because 1'd bet for the opposition, The problem is that it likely wouldn't work. Somehow this would be judged hat I was really cheering for both tcanls,Wc'd probably end up with a tic every time and 1 wouldn't win my bet anyway. But 1'in sure it would work if other people wanted t0 take advantage of my situation so get your money ready. Now let's see, who do I- want to lose next week?

They are kept in a building away from the house which is heated in winter. Gerrit is busy training his new German Shepard which is just one more activity to keep him outside enjoying the weather. THE BLYTH STANDARD, SEPTEMBER 20, 1978 -- 5 MONKEY FOR YOUR BACK? — These four handsome devils are sad to see winter coming but will love it out in a heated pen at the home of Gerrit Beimer's, Auburn. Mr. Beimers raises squirrel monkeys as a hobby and is now enjoying two new young additions to the "family". (Standard Photo) pulled the harder the monkey held on. When the monkey sensed he was about to loose his grip he squealed for help and another monkey came to the rescue. The monkeys are also terrors to the birds around the Beimers home. Food is sometimes Icft on top of the cage for the monkeys to pick at. The little sparrows in the trees above arc quick to land on the roof of the pen to get a share of the food. But the monkeys are not to be cheated out of a bit of fun and often grab the feet of the birds. The problem arises when the monkeys do not let go. But the monkeys do not always try grabbing things and in the long run hurting something. The first monkey Gerrit got was a house trained little' devil who would ride the dog around the house, either on its back or belly always peering out from under the dog's chin. The children in the neighbourhood are forever coming over to watch the antics of the monkeys -and never tire of watching them jump around their cages andswing from the ropes. Sit and Watch "I sit here and watch them in the summer time when it is warm," Gerrit says fondly. "I like to enjoy the sun with them while I watch them fly out their cages." "Once when I had to go into the hospital a neighbour carne and looked after the monkeys" said Gerrit. "Now this neighbour had a sense of humour and decided to play a joke on Charlie (the male). He cut open a peant shell and emptied the peanuts out and taped the shell back together." "Charlie carefully opened the shell and looked in the one half of the shell for the nut and when seeing it was empty threw it to the ground. He then carefully peered into the other half of the peanut shell and when seeing that it too was empty noticing that the neighbour was enjoying a laugh at his expense he screamed and threw the empty shell at the neighbour. Like People Monkeys are like people, they too need comfort and love and a group to feel part of, "Once 1 sold a monkey and they put it in.a cage and later grew tired of it. Well, that. little monkey died of lack of companions. Here they have each other,", their owner says. "Some people spend their time and money and go to Florida for the winter but 1 would rather spent my money here and take care of my monkeys". And so Gerrit Beimers tends his monkeys and is now turning some of his energies to raising cock heels, He presently has four fine young ones. The next project?."Who knows?" commented his wife. "We now have over thirty animals (including a German Shepard and Siamese cat) Maybe we have enough to keep us busy." Gerrit is looking for a new male to breed with his females. New blood for the group would.be good, as he foresees problems if Charlie is allowed to breed with his daughters and sisters. So anyone interested in helping out a concerned family man with the trade of a male monkey, give Mr, Beimers a call.

Strong Fences then and now "i like to see an old rail fence That zigs and zags at will Across a field without pretense And over. yonder hill." 'there is poetry to be found in the pattern of fences woven across Ontario, They scrvcd a useful and necessary purpose and remain historic relics of the past, add to the story of Canada's farming tradition and testify to the ingenuity of the men and women who first settled this great land. Memories of the spraddlc-legged 01. zig-zagged rail fences marching across the, landscape arc recalled when driving through back -country, especially in the Ottawa Valley with which the writer has grown familiar, Their memories are as inseparable from the landacapc as the woo(Ilots and bushes from which the fencing materials wcrc rough hewn. Houses and barns and sheds fashioned from the sank forests stand in ruined shapes but the countless smiles of rail fences were the most extensive usc to which the slender tree -trunks wcrc put. Fences first built by the Indian tribes seem to have been restrictedto weirs built across narrow streams to direct the fishy hordes toward traps or to hunting -fences to corral big game from which they could not escape. Here and there were left gaps where snares were concealed 'to catch any fugitive attempting to break through. Fences built by the first white settlers date from the original clearing operations. They served to mark boundaries, to keep animals, wild or domestice, in or out of certain restricted areas, to protect crops, for privacy, for seclusion and as a way of disposing of slash resulting from land clearance. . In Stages Settlers cleared the virgin forest in various stages. At first the underbrush was removed and the slash burned off but some was piled up to make a primitive brush fence. These windrows .of deadwood formed an impenetrable obstacle where branches were woven into each other or found lying on the ground might be used to form the base of the fcncc which often had to be diverted so that advantage might be taken of natural obstacles. There were obvious disadvantages in the brush fence. It was a serious fire hazard; it seldom followed a boundary accurately; it could be moved only with difficulty, Although there was no financial outlay involved, it cost considerable more in time and labour than certain other types. it did, however, occupy a large amount of arable land that might have been cultivated to good advantage. It has been stated that a brush fence should be at least forty feet %sick and damn high, In the second stage of forest clearing, the trees 1vei'c felled and drawn into windrows by oxen where they were burned off later for wood -ash, Good, straight logs were spared and used for farm buildings and those of up to len inches in diameter were restricted to the making of split rails for fence construction, This land -clearing by the family represented a vast struggle to overcome the wilderness and, at times, an impossible task but day after day they continued and persevered. The stillness of the winter forestwould often he broken by the 'thwacking' sound of the pioneer's broad axe. Stump Clearing The usual successor to the brush fence was one of stumps. This resulted as the second stage of land -clearing, perhaps ten or fifteen years later when the roots 01' the tree stumps were sufficiently rotted to snake it possible to pull them out. The farmer dug around the stump unil he found a big root that ran out sideways. He would hitch the stout logging chain to this root, lead the chain across the top of the stump, and attach it to the yoke borne by his team of oxen. Amid shouts and some mild cursing, a whip was crashed in mid-air and the beasts strained as they leaned into their task. The stump almost invariably would turn over as it came loose, It was then dragged to the border of the field to be positioned, the rosette of interlacing roots facing the outside of the property. Any gaps remaining were filled in with brush. The resulting fence might well have been a combination of these two materials, At a later date mechanical stump pullers were invented by which a screw system powered by horses drew the rotted stump from the ground with a minimums of manual effort. Oxen, however, continued to be used to draw tilt stunipe to its destination to form an inpenetrablc barrier against cattle which had a tendency to wander as far as the grass would lead them without regard to distance or direction, Without these primitive structures the control of livestock would be virtually impossible and the resultant loss devastating. Few stump fences remain today. Gread gramp loved to say that they were pig tight, bull strong and horse high. Indeed their twisted, tangled roots pointing skyward formed beautiful patterns along the edge of many a ploughed field. Depending upon the type of stump it night be up to twenty years before the settler could clear away the stunips ' and rubble. Rail fences wcrc the most common in Ontario as they zig-zagged like a wriggling snake. Indeed it was sonletinies called a snake or worme fence, At times 11 has been called the Virginia (tail fence. These were by far the most usual type in Canada and were found wherever there were the materials for their construction. Many, hundreds of miles of them still exist in Eastern Ontario. To make a good fence rail, one chose a tall, straight tree, Often one could get two or three twelve foot lengths from one tree and almost free from knots. When straight grained, one started at the narrow end of the log and, with axe and wedge oI'wood or iron, the two sections ultimately fell apart. Each half was similarly split down the n11(1(1le. A mile of snake fence six rails high, with rails eleven feet or so in length, overlapping at foot at each angle required some 4000 rails which represented much felling, trimming, splitting, hauling and erecting. Bottom rail In due time, the farmer learned that the bottoms rail resting on the ground began to rot and the fence to disintegrate. Great grandpapa learned to lay a foundation of two flat stones one on top of the other to form what he called the hub or bay. if tic used just one stone,the moisture seemed to emep up the stone and rot the wood but with two stones the moisture was held in check. He would lay two such hubs sonic twenty feet apart then a third one in the middle outside the direct line between numbers 011e and two to make an angle and add a fourth beyond the second hud at the sante angle. He would lay a trail from one to three and another from two to four. Then he would put a third rail from two back hubs and adding rails until he got the length he needed with the rails overlapping at the bays, Occasionally the top rail might be blown off in a windstorm of knocked off by tx)ssy as she scratched her neck thereon. Some effort was made to prevent this by pIaCIIIg a heavy rail on top and lashing a couple of field stones together with wire and hanging the same at the hub. Snake fences had many advantages at a time when timber was plentiful. The winding pattern allowed it to avoid natural obstacles and could 'be easily moved since no posts were required. The major disadvantage was the amount of land occupied, it has been estimated that a mile of fence took up'more than an acre of cleared land and prevented the usc of nearly as much. Rumour had it that a farmer from Holland could make a living by just using our fence -corners, [To be, continued] Teachers and Enrollment This year there are 309 pupils ,enrolled at Hullett Central Public School.

The letter, received last week, was a reply to the organization which asked about the subsidy. Both Brown and Alex Connell of Palmerston, president of the Ontario 'association, criticized the federal govcrn- ment for making payments on a quarterly basis last year, but not this year. Had the calculations been quarterly, there would have been a hefty subsidy for cattle marketed in the first halt' of the year, Perth farm news they said. The subsidy for the final quarter of 1976 was $2.98 a hundredweight and Brown noted that market prices declined by an average of $1,40 a hundredweight in the first quarter of 1977 "and were little different in the second quarter." On that basis, the subsidy most farmers anticipated was in the $4,50 per hundred- weight range, or close to $50 per market -weight steer, The federal government reckoned its 1976 subsidy, had all f'arnicrs applied, would total $45 million. The letter from Whelan to the Ontario association boiled down to the fact that there will be no subsidy for 1977 according to secretary -manager Graeme Hedley The federal government issued statistics this week as part of its weekly livestock market report which amounted IP the same news as Whelan's letter. The statistics for the first , time revealed the federal gover'nment's calculations of the five-year average price—$42.78 a hundredweight; How silo gas forms by Alan Scott, Ag. Rep.,, Pal Lynch, Soils Crops Spec. Barry Sinclair, Assoc. Rep. Silo Gas • Silo gas could he a problem in 1978. Drought conditions have likely produced a smaller corn plant with a greater con- , munition OI nitrates 111 the leaves. These nitrates produce silo gases, Gas production starts; with the ensiling process and continues for at least two \reeks. Overfertiliyatiom is another factor (hal contributes to the production oI' these gaze's. Special Gare should he taken with corn fields that have received a heavy coating ul' manure as well as 100 lbs. per aur or more (()O kgnis per hectare) of :moat nitrogen. tiffs e gasps usually have a sickly sweet odour and a colourless or yellowish brown colour. Since they are. heavier than air, th(.\ will form just above the silage surface or spill down the chute and injure humans or livestock iii contained areas al the bottom. Sonietinies there is no evidence that gas is present. The gases cause problems in a number of ways. Ladder climbers have been rendered unconscious while clinching the silo with resulting injury from falling down the chute. Last year in Eastern Ontario, two hrolllcrs and their farnl employee were killed instantly, one after the other, when they entered 0 silo that had been pairtly filled two days earlier, In other cases. there has been an in b ial dizziness and (hen real plxtblenls h to 8 hours later when the individual has experienced coughing, high temperature, shortness of breath and paralysis. Safety is only insured if' one stays away frons the silo for at least two weeks after filling, Self contained breathing units provide protection but they are difficult to obtain and cunibersonte to use in a silo. Other units provide no protection. Running the blower for 30 minutes MAY expel the gas but this action may not displace gas if the corn is below the level of the open door. Climbing and/or entering the silo is risky at the best. If someone insists on going in the silo, then he should operate with a partner who is holding a lifeline tied to his waist. Work is presently being done on a device to test for silo gas. In addition, one company has developed a self contained breathing unit with tanks that remain on the ground and are attached by a hose to a mask that can be used in the silo. This equipment sells for $800 to $1,000 and night be considered as a cooperative purchase by a group of farmers. Winter Wheat 'l'he optimum date for seeding winter wheat in Perth County is September 15th to October 1st. There are rumors that later planted wheat yields higher. These humors are based on a small number of fields that were planted later in 1977 but yielded well.

Cement Dust Over the past I'ew months, there has. been increasing interest in the use of cement kiln dust as a supplement to improv(. the rates of gain of steers fed a roughage -grain diet. The cement dust is 0 by-product of Portland cement production, containing high levels of calcium as well as a wide assortlient of trace minerals, Dr, D.N. Mowat of' the Ontario Agri- cultural College reports that the latest research still leaves a number of questions unanswered. The reasons for the improved growth rates have not yet been deter- mined. Part of the effect for the improved growth rates have not yet been deter= mined, Part of the effect may be attributed to a simple PH buffering effect in the digestive tract. The main effect may be due to the correction of a yet unrecognized trace mineral deficiency, which May be limited only to certain geo graphic regions, Composition of the dust appears to vary widely and concern exists because of the possibility of toxic levels of certain minerals, such as lead, being present. As a result, Dr. Mowat is encouraging cattle feeders not to try feeding cement kiln dust until further data becomes available on feeding levels, toxicities, residues etc, Further research and monitoring on this subject will be continuing. and the previous five-year average cost of production—$36.88 per hundredweight. It showed the 1977 weighted average national price at $40.19, The law demands that prices be supported at no less than 90 per cent of previous five-year average (in this case $38,43) adjusted to reflect increases in production costs over the previous five- year average, The 1977 production costs figure is missing from the figures released in the government report, Both Connell and Brown repeated lobbying positions taken by their associ- ationsthat the subsidy formula should be public so farmer's can slake production and marketing plans ‘yith some confidence about the government's commitments. e research Genealogy, or the study of the family tree, is becoming a pastime for a growing number of Ontarians• The provincial office of the registrar general reports that genealogy searches through that office have increased by 46 per cent in the last fiscal year, Between April, 1977 and March, 1978, more than 6,500 searches for• family histories have been made by the registrar -general's office 'I'hc interest in family ancestry is partly due to the influence of the TV movie Roots, said Norm Vetere, deputy registrar -general, "Everyone wants to know where they came from since that movie hit the "i'V screen,,, he reported.

"Although their workload has increased tremendously in the 'past fey years, the nuniher of staff has not grown." l'he 1977.78 fiscal year was also a record-hrcaker for the nunibcr of certificates issued which rose by four per cent to 500,000. Most of this is due to the increased demand for birth certificates, said Mr. Vetere. "Despite the declining birth rate, birth certificates are in demand because they are often required for school enrolment, employment, organized sports and to enter the United States. Mexico and the Bahamas," he said. The number of senior citizens applying for birth j certificates has also grown since the federal government began requiring social insur- ance numbers, for which a birth certificate is nece.sary, for cashing bonds, collecting interest and other financial transactions. "A 102 -year-old woman needed a birth certificate in order to get a social insur- ance number. We had no record of her birth so she had to apply for a delayed registration, One hundred and two year's seemed like an awfully long time to delay a hi!ith registration so we per- suaded the federal author- ities to waive the require- ment in her case," said Mr. Vetere. 'I'hc divorce rate is also continuing its upward climb, said Mr. Voter. Divorces recorded by the office reached 18,924 last year, a 1.1 per cent increase over the previous 1 2 -month period. The number of deaths rose to 63,605, a 6,3 per cent increase from the previous year. "This simply reflects the growing size of our senior population," he said. The downward trend continued for births with 122,200 registrations result- ing in a .87 per cent decline for the year. This rate has been maintained since 1971, said Mr. Vetere. 'rlie marriage rate climbed for the first time since 1974, However, the 67,917 marriages provided only a .03 per cent increase over the previous 12 -month period.

(Brussels Post Photo) Stroke victims get help Every year, thousands of Canadians suffer strokes, and while many victims survive a major storks, they often are Icft seriously handicapped. A new program is being started at Huronveiw in Clinton to help stroke victims in their recovery program. The aims of the Stroke Club, which will operate as all outreach program from Huronyiew. are to prevent the stroke victim having to return to hospital; to provide a social setting for the homebound who have similar handicaps; to provide a structured exercise class and to provide recreational activities which incorporate therapy and craft. The program organizers hope the sale of crafts made by members of the group can keep the Stroke Club self- sufficient. The program, which will be supervised by Mrs. St. Jean, will be held at Huron- veiw on Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The program organizers urgently need volunteers to assist with the stroke Club, to oversee the exercise program, or to help in the carpentry shop, or to or- ganize recreational activities. Volunteers wouldn't have to be involved in the full day's program, since the schedule will be brokcninto different segments. Drivers may also be need- ed to bring members of the club from their homes to Huronview, Lunch will be provided for the club members during the day long program. Anyone interested in either volunteering to assist with the program, or in- terested in learning more about joining the Stroke Club, is asked to call the Honie Care office at 482-3411. ■■ Too fat? Too thin? Too tired? Too often? Do something for somebody... Your body! Fitness is fun. Try some. PaRIKIPatnon o Stroke Research An American brain specialist attending 0 con- ference on brain disease repair in London, recently said quicker recovery from strokes may result from work now beim; carried out in the United Stat" Dr. Marcus Raichlc said American researchers are trying to understand how tiny neurons in the brain behave and interact. Ile said in the past, medical experts believed once 0 brain was damaged in a stroke or by other diseases, then the neurons were dead forever. However, in recent years, a great deal of interest has been developing in the idea that the nervous system can be "regenerated" following a serious stroke, Dr. Raichle said sonic children who suffer either strokes or brain damage from a variety of causes often recover remarkably. Now - researchers are studying whether recovery is also possible for adults who are stroke victims. Researchers, including Dr, 11. ,l. Barnett and S.J. Peerless at London's University Hospital, are also conducting studies on stroke prevention, The tests will hopefully forewarn people they are in a high risk group for strokes, and doctors will be able to treat them to prevent the st rake. CANFARM alternatives Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan has an- nounced his department is looking at alternatives for the continuation of Canfarm, a federally sponsored com- puterized farm records system that is named in current federal budget cuts. "Agriculture Canada is actively examining various alternatives to keep Canfarm in operation," Mr. Whelan said. "Canfarm has developed from an experimental re- cords system to a valuable farm management tool. We want to see its service continue for farmers in all provinces and that's why I've asked my departmental of- ficials to study a number of possibilities that could keep it in operation." Canfarm is a joint federal - provincial -university pro - grant that offers a com- puterized farm record keeping service, farm management and planning systems, and data banks for use by farmers, policy makers and researchers. The federal government pays $6 million a year for facilities and headquarters staff at Guelph, Ont., while the provinces and . universities contact and train farmers who use the system, "We're looking at several alternatives, including some that could lead to Canfa•m's becoming self-supporting.

"To paper a seedbed, use a rototiller or spade, and remove any thistles or weeds," says Mr. Gomme, "Then level with a rake, before sowing 2.3 kg, of pre -mixed seed and 9 kg of balanced fertilizer per 93 sq. m. After seeding, rake lightly." Centralia college gets residence A $2,592,700 contract has been awarded to Matassa Contractor's Limited of Leam- ington for the construction of a students' residence at Centralia College of Agri- ' cultural Technology, Huron Park, Matassa Contractors Limited submitted the lowest of four bids received. The students' residence, which will be a single structure approximately 57,000 square feet in total area, will provide expanded facilities for the year round use of students at the College. It will contain a series of five "pods"—each providing accommodation for forty students and one supervisor. The pods will be linked by an internal walk- way at ground level, This walkway will adjoin a stu- dents' lounge located in each pod, allowing for social interaction while maintaining a "community atmosphere." The main entrance to the residence will be combined with that of the existing Huron Hall.

Work on the contract will start immediately and com- pletion is expected ember of 1980. by Sept - For a large arca, Mr. Gomme recommends buying pure seed and mixing it at home, The mixture should contain 60 per cent Kentucky bluegrass, 30 per cent creep- ing red fescue, and 10 per cent perennial rye grass. Dragging a weighted board over the large expanse is the easiest method of leveling the soil. "Cooler weather promotes fast growth of grass," says Mr. Gomme, "Homeowners won't have to water newly - seeded lawns because Mother Nature will do it for them," While improving the land- scape, homeowners night consider planting a few ever- greens. In September, nurseries stock many vari- eties. "If is important to remem- ber that some evergreens cannot tolerate shade," says Mr. Gomme. "The Japanese yew and euonymus are ideal 'for north -wall sites, but all junipers and other ever- greens prefer locations facing east, south or west." The planting site should be well -worked, with generous additions of peat moss to hold moisture, Evergreens should be planted at least 75 cm from buildings, otherwise the roots will dry out, Moisture is lost through their needles during winter, so an extra soaking of water before freeze-up helps prevent winter burn. Lawns and evergreens need a headstart now, before chilly winds sweep around your home.

Recently the Liberal Caucus held a policy con- ference on the "Challenge for the 80's: Changing Needs and Limited Resources", the purpose of which was to bring together Caucus members, leading authorities in major policy fields and.community leaders for in-depth discussions of sonic of the major issues facing the Province of Ontario, Participants in the Conference were divided into four "Theme Groups" on (a) "Trends in Society: Human Relations; (b) "Building a Competitive Society: In- dustrial Strategy"; (C) "Role of Government: Controlling Big Brother"; and (d) "Living with the Planet: Conserver Society". Ryerson President Walter Litman was the Keynote speaker for the first group on human relations. He stressed the fact that we ncedthestyle of the '50's and '60's again. For the obvious reason • a lack of energy, a real ization that we must conserve our non•rencwable resources, a recogni tion that there is no "'Technological fix" which will heat tip a massive growth syndromic once again." We must always lx'ar in mind the reality of "our finite, fragile un- iverse", and recognize "the most obvious human psychological and spiritual needs which have been bat- tored by the social effects of the industrial revolution." "The word which leaps out is that of 'appropriateness' - to the human needs in the context of 0 ►restrained, more 'sensitive, more intellectual and spiritual environment." Walter Pitman referred to this concept as the "Politics of Lifestyle as opposed to the Politics of Ideology", st'cs- sed the need to use a "horizontal" rather than a "vertical" approach to pro- blem solving equating vertical with rigid adherence to division of problems by Ministry, "pollution in one lx)x, industrial growth and development in another" etc. We must accept fully our pluralistic socieyt, give everyone a sense o1' be- longing and making a con- tribution. It's important to work within the context of the family, the neighbour- hood and the continuity, and a "part of the work -style will be the emphasis not only on a healthy 'workplace but one which is psychologically sat- isfying." He stressed that "conserver society" is not another way of saying 21st Century Dark Ages. In this group, background ixlpers were presented for discussion by Ted Harvey. Professor of Sociology at the University of Toronto - on "Labour Force: Patterns, Problems, Policies"; Bruce McLeod, Former Vice -Chair- man of the Ontario Human Rights Commission on " Racism and Prejudice"; Gail Newall, Family Counsellor in the Region of Durham 00 "Family and Social Relation- ships"; and Marvyn Novick, Senior Program Director of the Social Planning Council fo Metropolitan Toronto on "Demand for Services'". Mr. Harvey spoke of the impact of the post-war "baby boom" on the Labour force, the relationship between in- dustrial strategy . and jobs, and the fact that Canada has the best job -creating record of all Western industrialized countries. He stressed the peed for job mobility in- centives, on-the-job training and domestically produced skilled workers, We can no longer rely on the wealth - creating ability of the primary Sector, 11111St re- vitalize the manufacturing sector. Importing goods and technology is equivalent to exporting jobs. portant. Highly educated workers tend to displace less well educated workers in a tight labour market. Present COI1Cern about highun- enlploymcnt should not mask the veru real issue of labour shortages, both present and anticipated, Mr. Novick spoke of the need to put aside traditional assumptions and equate needs to resources. Govern- ment's role in the '80's should be to give leadership for people to see choices. Urban planning should begin by including social ob- jectives. "Elements of a social development strategy would include investing heavily in the capacity of families, communities, and he workplace to confer im- portant forms of develop- mental support to people , . . The role of Government can be to create the conditions and opportunities necessary for people to increase their care and support for each other in the course of daily life." MR McLeod pointed out "The so-called 'new' im- migration is not new. Bet- ween 1896 and 1914, three million immigrants were in- vited to come here to build our railroads, dig our sewers and settle our land . .5000 East Indians lived in Canada by 1921.

Gail Newall stressed the importance of adjusting our traditional concept of the family, Statistics' Canada's figures for 1974 show there were 305,520 one -parent families, 85.5% of them headed by women. These families had 631,360 children of lvlk)nl about one-quarter were under 6 years of age. Social welfare is vital as ameans of preserving useful members of our society, Provisions for adequate child care are essential. The group discus- sed the need to avoid stero- typing people, pressures caused by rising costs adequate housing, and ,,,lite':. need for provision of im- proved services in the geriatric field. Enroiment declines in Perth schools By Jim Hagarty . The number of students enrolling in Perth County's schools continues to decline, but not as Seriously as projected by the board of education one year ago. A report to the board from accountant R, MacAr thur shows that 13,323 students registered in the county system on opening (lay last Tuesday, 765 more than projected by the board last fall. Nevertheless. figures (11(I destine as in elle elementary school situation where 207 fewer students enrolled this September than last. Last year, 8,279 students showed up at the county's 24 elementary schools 00 open- ing day. Last week, the schools enrolled 8,072, in October 1977, the board predicted that opening day enrolment this year would reach only 7,909 students. That situation was reversed in the county's five secondary schools. The board projected an overall enrolment of 5,308. but last Tuesday only 5,208 students registered for classes. 'Actual enrolment figures on opening day in all five high schools were lower than the board's year-old pre- dictions. �o PEW/ HURON r78 �Cti 2 September 26 - 30, HURON COUNTY Newman okays joint board Agriculture Minister Bill Newman recently announced that he has accepted the recommendation of the Farm Products Marketing Board to amalgamate the OntaricTender Fruit Growers' Marketing Board and the Ontario Fresh Fruit Growers' Marketing Board. The reew board will be known as the Ontario Tender Fruit Producers' Market- ing Board and will be responsible for marketing Ontario peaches, pears, plums and cherries. Jim Rainforth, secretary -manager of the Tender Fruit Growers' Marketing Board, said that the poor turnout of voters (only ten per cent of eligible voters cast a ballot) in the opinion poll might be misleading because of the small proportion of full -tine commercial growers mong the eligible voters. Rainforth explained that unlike apple and tobacco growers, who must cultivate a certain minimum acreage in order to be eligible to vote, there are no similar restrictions for tender fruit growers, For this reason, it is likely that many of the growers who did not vote were either part-time or diversified, growers who have little interest in the future of the marketing boards. Consequently, Rainforth estimated that 50-60 per cent of the actual tender fruit acreage was represented by the growers who voted in the recent expression of opinion poll. At Listowel Ditrict Secondary School, 1,102 stu- dents enrolled. The board had predicted 1,131. Mitchell District High School registered 503 stu- dents last week, 45 fewer than projected by the hoard. At St, Marys District Collegiate and Vocational Institute, the board expected 802 students to sign up 00 opening day, but the school enrolled only 785. The Stratford high school predictions and actual fig- ures were fairly close. Cen- tral Secondary School registered 1,348 students, three fewer than expceled.

In personal habit, he nc smokes or drinks, but 1'cl ubes to press his behavior pat- terns onto others.

(Photo by Harris) Canadian apple growers are expecting to harvest a large crop this fall, Agriculture Canaria economist Bob Anderson says industry sources arc calling for a harvest of about 990 million pounds. This is , higher than last year's crop of 909 trillion pounds but below the bumper 1975 crop of 1,015 million pounds, Dry summer weather has reduced the early apple crop in some parts of Canada. But the later apples, especially D4elnlosh and Delicious , should be abundant and of high quality. Production is expected to increase in all parts of Canada. 'i'he greatest per- Threeschoolfair (Continued from Page 1.%) entered. With the forming of the Morris School Area in 1946 and all the schools of Morris entered there were 21 schools taking part in the fair. The Coniniunity Centre which was coni- pleted in 1949 made a great improvement in housing facilities for the displaying of entries and the fair has been held at the Community Centre since that time. The prize lists were first published in hook form in 1949, The fair has always been opened by a parade of schools and dignitaries accompanied by music. The Bclgrave Pipe Band which was organized in 1956 used to -pipe the procession into the park where speeches from guests and officials followed. Then the parade was d,ismisse 1 and pupils and adults centage increase in the size of the crop will be in Nova Scotia where a number of new orchards are reaching maturity.

Sonie traditions never die as can be witnessed by the fact that the above mentioned procedures stil carry on the same way today as they did then Mrs. Walter Scott of Wingham also helped procure some information about the fair. 'Today, though only three schools participate in the fair -- it is still going strung.

Steak $6 a pound predicted A home by Manitoba man Eating steak could be a costly process in 1979 if the prediction of Art Dilworth comes true. Mr. Dilworth recently said that the best cuts of steak may cost $6 a pound or more in 12 to 18 months. Mr. Dilworth, manager of the livestock division of Manitoba Pool Elevators in Winnipeg said that if cows and heifers increasingly are kept on the farms instead of being sent for slaughter, there will be "a fairly acute shortage of beef," Three supermarket chains -- Miracle Food Marts, Dominion Stores Ltd. ancl Loblaws Ltd., recently reduced their beef prices stating that they were passing along savings to consumers as a result of a drop in wholesale beef prices. Charles Graccy, manager of the Canadian Cattlemen's Association said the food chains are setting short-term price policies, while Dilworth is speculating about long -terns trends. Dilwo•th's prediction seems un- realistically high, Gracey said. Gracey said he would be surprised to sec an average 10 per. cent increase in beef prices iln the next year. FIL said the market is nearing the end of :1 three-year Surplus in beef production -- a time when cattlemen have refrained from increaNing the size of their herds. As cknnand continues or increases and as supply drops; the price of beef will rise, Gracey said of your own To find YOUR home, Read the standard Blueberries Blueberries booming in N.S. Blueberries have become a booming business for Nova Scotia growers recently and its all because of export sales. This year growers were expecting to regain markets in Europe which were disrupted last year because most of the province's crop went to the United Stales because of a crop failure there, Earlier this year, three major blueberry processing companies visited six European countries seeking to restore the balance of exports between Europan and U.S. markets, In 1975, two years after marketing missions to Europe began, five million pounds valued at $2.5 million were sold to European producers. Last year European markets returned only $960,000 out of a total record farm value of $5 million. Export sales are responsible for the growth of Nova Scotia's blueberry industry since the late1950's when it was regarded as a supplement to the Maine Crop. Producers say European buyers were attracted to the Nova Scotia berries because of their higher sugar content,12 per cent as compared with nine per cent for European berries. Classified ads VACATION PROPERTY AND REAL ESTATE GUIDE "The apple crop in the United States is also looking good and has been estimated at about 7,4 billion pounds. This compares with last year's total of 6.7 billion pounds. "However, production could be lower than expected if' weather interferes with harvesting in any of the major production areas in North America. If that hap- pens, or if there are any substantial production short- fals in other areas of the wo'ld, prices could increase and be as high as they were last year." A factor adding strength to this year's Canadian apple market is lower than average inventories of some pro- cessed products. Apple juice, for instance, is in very short supply. Dr. Anderson says processors can be expected to buy more than 40 per cent of this year's Canadian crop. Last year, Canadian growers had above-average exports of apples, largely because of small crop in Europe. This year's European crop, .s larger, but there may b- incre ased exports to Mie'clle Eastern countries, SEAFORTH - CAMBRIDGE -AYR-WOODSTOCI( �ij,.

Plums plentifulforpreserving Fall means an array of vibrant colors across the province -and beautiful blue plums. Food specialists at the. Outa'io Food Council, Min- istry of Agriculture and Food, say that September is the month for blue plums, also called prune plums, Varieties include Stanley and Italian. They will be available until around mid-September. Stanleys are larger prune plums than the Italians, but both have a yellow flesh and purplish -blue skin. When buying plums, select plump, clean fruit. Look for plums that arc full -colored and yield to slight pressure. At home, ripen at cool room temper- ature, then refrigerate covered. Wash only when ready to use, Prune plums are a treat no matter how they are served. They are an attractive fruit, perfect for eating out of hand and for cooking. Stew therm for a brea kfast treat or special dessert. Try them halved, then stuffed with cottage cheese or seafood filling, or in a gelatin salad. They make an excellent sauce for ice cream or frozen yogurt. Put them in pies, tarts, jams or jellies. They may also be frozen for use at a later time. Simply halveand pit plums, then pack in cold syrup (2 cups sugar to 3 cups water) or in dry sugar (4 cup sugar for every 4 cups of prepared plums).

C O m 32 - TIIE BLYTH STANDARD, SEPTEMBER 20, 1978 NNW Sugar and Spice by Bill Smiley, There's probably only one thing more boring than being forced to watch slides of someone else's holiday jaunt, and that is having to listen to them tell about it. But if you think that you are going to get away with only two columns about "OUR TRIP" you might as well turn over to the real estate ads right now, gentle reader. Not after I spent all that stoney. I've had two long distance calls and a letter in the past 10 days from the Chargex people. Seems we wenn over our limit by about double, and the bills are still coming in. Oh, well, that's inflation, On a trip like ours, it's probably a good idea to tale notes, or keep a diary. I never do this; too interested in people and places to try to put them down Tried to keep it al in my head, in pi tures. Result: for 10 days after we got home I couldn't sleep , with all those pictures, hopelessly mixed, flashing through my mind. When you hit eight countries in 14 days, it's more like low-flying than an in-depth study of the treasures of Europe. But it's amazing what you can and do see and experience. For the average traveller who is not an art expert, there is serious danger of picking up a couple ()I' diseases, cathedral - ids and basilicatis. The symptoms are similar: If you see a person with head cricked right back, and mouth open, he's probably just back from Europe. While the cathedrals arc awesome in their structure and art "•')I•k, they tend io make you feel like v,ay small minnow in a very large ocean. And pr( bat*' that's what they're supposed to do. We were in the largest and third-largest in the wu,rld, in Ronlc and Florence, both designed by Michelangelo, and l don't care if 1 never see another. They make you humble in the face of the patience, the reverence, and the genius that went into their creation. And we saw a lot of famous works of art: the Venus de MiIn. a stocky broad with no arms; the Mon; Lisa, looking anything but enigmatic behind six layers of bullet-proof glass. It was no more thrill than looking at a good color photo of them in an art hook. But that's not the sort of thing you remember from a trip. ' ori remember the highlights and the human relations, the had moments and the exalted ones. Like going through the Dolomites, a .•ange of mountains so forbidding they nake the Rockies look genial, in a :a1nstornl, the driver inching around !lairpin turns. Or a magnificent summer evening with good wind, good food, good music, good friends, on a balcony overlooking the beautiful Tivoli gardens, outside Rome. Or wandering around the Mont Martre in Paris, haunt of famous writers and artists over the years, watching the painters at work, haggling over a picture, maybe having your portrait done in 10 minutes. Or being kicked off the grass in Monte MEM Carlo by a surly Monacan cop. Or hustling through the rain in Heidelberg, trying to buy suppositories with your scanty German, Or sitting on your balcony in Lucerne, wondering «•hat the poor folks were doing, as you looked over the lake to the mountains, Or admiring the lady of the streets, who saw us gawking at her as she leaned against a building, turned her back, flipped up her skirt, no pants on, some of the holder spirits told me. I, of course, had covered my hand with niy eyes, or something like that. Or discovering in your room a small bar -refrigerator, stocked with everything from Coke to champagne. All you had to do was help yourself', stark down what you'd used, and pay for it in the morning. Can't see a North American hotel trusting anyone that 111tuch. ()r watching your wife, the insomniac al home, sleeping: on the bus, on the fcrrry, in the boat in the canals of Amsterdam, on a boat down the Rhine, on the Seine, on the train. The only place she didn't sleep was in the hotel rooms, worrying about getting up at O a.m., and on the Ilovercral'l from France to England, which took only 35 111111111('5. Perhaps the hest part of a group lour, as I mentioned, is the relationships you farm.

And we 118(1 lire Australians. Have you eves' heard a lady from Texas trying to talk to a middle-aged French-Canadian or a young Australian? It's a riot. At first we were all a hit stand-offish, tending to huddle with our own. But after a few days we were helping each other with language, funny money and lost luggage. The ladies were exchanging travel irons, hair dryers, recipes, and anecdotes about toilets. Ironically, from this land of separatism and stuff, perhaps the best friends we made on the tour were Quebecois. And think I know why. 1 dusted off my rusty French and made an, effort, and they did the sank with their English, An Australian lad and his sister became almost like a son and daughter to us, A young Canadian school teacher from Calgary wept and hugged and kissed when we bumped into her after the tour, in London. We drank dinner with two handsome young couples from Illinois several times. 'the Ladies 'Texas invited us down for Christmas. Donald, from Quebec, wants me to find a school where his daughter can learn English. And I was like to be kissed and hugged t0 death by 18 -year-old Cathy. from Oregon. My shirt was all wet with tears after our farewell party. Very nice work, if you can get it.

The telephone rings con- stantly, visitors parade in and out of the house, and reporters are always drop- ping by for more information on the match. Also, a crew of hydro men have set up temporary residence on part of the Armstrong Farm. But all this commotion is just a normal part of hosting the annual plowing match, and even though the Arm- strongs may sometimes look a little harried, they insist they wouldn't have missed the experience. Both Amrstongs emphasize being the host farm is "delightful", as well as allowing them 'to make many friends they might never have come in contact with if it hadn't been for the plowing match. The Armstrong also give some special credit to Bill, their 21 year old son and their four daughters who have pitched in and taken over many of the behind the scenes chores 'formerly handled by their parents before preparations for the . match became almost a fulltime job. The Armstrongs moved -to Huron County 10 years ago when their "almost century farm" outside Bramalea was sold. Two years after they set- tled in, on their farm on Hwy. 86, just outside Wing - ham, Jim Armstrong joined the Huron County Plow- men's Association, an or- ganization that's open to rural and urban residents alike, Huron County hadn't hosted the international Plowing Match since 1966, when plowmen from Canada and the United States- com- peted on the Jini Scott farm in Seaforth. Unfortunately, the match was plagued by heavy rains and the turnout was far less than had been expected. Jim Armstrong said Huron County wanted another chance to prove themselves, and so when the association starting tossing around the idea of l?rtngingthe match to the county again the Arm- strongs offered their farm as an incentive. Approved in'74 The Huron County Plow- men's Associaton, with the hacking of county council, made four separate pre- sentations to the Ontario Plowmen's Association, be- fore the provincial body approved their application in 1974 tohost the 1978 games. - When a county takes on the responsibility of hosting a match, it takes hundreds of hours of planning by volunteers willing to spend many of their evenings in committee mectngs. It also takes co-operation from other county residents who spruce up their farm buildings, and it takes a national advertising campaign to alert potential visitors to the match. All in all, hosting a plowing match means a good many headaches. But, there arc also bene- fits. This year's match, ex- pected to be the largest ever, will bring more than 250,000 people to the site. Also, this year a seventh avenue has been added to the tent city ' which means more exhibitors than ever want booths at the match. if nothing else, Jim Arnm- storng believes this is an indication that the poor weather at Frontenac County's 1977 match didn't scare anyone off. Also, the , facclifting around the county will last long after the plowling match itself is just a memory. But even more important, organizing the match, with 23 committees working out arrangnents for everything from where farmers will land who conte by plane to antique and historic displays, can't help but bring the people in a county together, since they're all working for a common goal. Industry As well as the enjoyment people take from the match itself, there's always the chance sonic industry might consider settling in the county as a result of the match, which means more jobs for local residents and more tax revenue for county coffers, Jim Armstrong's words; they say a plowing match means eight years of pro- motion for a county - four years before the match and four years after, It also engenders a re- markable amount of en- thusiasm in the county itself and there's already ample evidence of this in Huron from the distinctive signs advertising the match posted around the county', to articles in both local newspapers and national magazines, as well as the preparations by county clubs and organizations who are planning either exhibits or money -raising ventures at the match, Anyone in Huron County who doesn't know about the (Continued on page Go 'doo it right the first time SKI -D00®'79 CITATION 300 Sporty, economical but fast twin cylinder fan -cooled 293.53 Rotax See us at the 4' HURON'78 yet September 26 • 30, 1978 HURON COUNTY Special prices on all models during the plowing match September 26 • 30, 1978 HURON COUNTY Win a mobile workshop from Buildall - a G.Mr.Ci, van full of Skil tools Buildall is giving away four Handyvans.

When the Huron Plow- men's Association learned their bid to host the 1J78 match had been accepted, it advertised in county news- papers for farmers willing to volunteer thier place as the host farms for the match, Jim Armstrong and three other farmers responded and the Ontario Plowmen's As- sociation sent inspectors down to appraise the sites. Rotate The sacril'iccrequired ont the part of the host farmer himself is willingness to rotate his crops so the land for the Plowing Match is available from August I to the end of October. This year, 196 acres on the Armstrong farm is being used for the plowing match. Also, property on many adjacent farms has been rented for the period of Ow match, to be used either the plo\a'ing competitions or for parking and housing visitors. • About 130 acres on the Armstrong farm will be taken up by the tent city alone, and hydro and telephone crew have already been working 011 this site for sometime. In total, the plowing match willbe using approximately 1,200 acres in the north of the county. '111e Armstrongs learned their farm had been selected as the host 1'arni in November 1974. things to- start happening Gut the real signal for seemed to be January 1, 1978. Signal Looking back, Carol Arm- strong said it's as if the date was a signal and "the phone has never stopped ringing," To prepare for his role of host farmer, Jim Armstrong crammed in a public speaking course, and since then, he's been the feature speaker at Women's In- stitute meetings, Lions Club gatherings, and the Huron County Federation of Agri- culture banquet. In addition to being the Inst farmer, Mr. Armstrong is also a director of the Ont Plowmen's Association, only the third time a host farmer has combined the two roles. Carol Armstrong is also doing her fair share of speaking, since she's taken on the added responsibility of chairing the conlinittee, planning the expanded ladies program for the 1978 event. All in all, the Armstrongs have been pretty well eating, sleeping and breathing plowing match. Since the Armstrongs had some time to plan for the match, they first rotated the clilps for their 300 head o1' cattle, growing some 0n smaller parcels of land not needed) for the match, and switching the cattle to a haylage and silage diet, This year, they omitted growing any grain crops and had t0 have the tent city site well seeded clown, Their second crop of hay also had to be oft' the land adjacent to their house by August `I. Although the Armstrongs heard rumours about damage done t0 other farms where the International Match was held, they expect to have good crops on the land next year, although Mr. Armstrong admits it night he two years before the crops are right back to par. Carol Armstrong said when they were considering offering their farm they drove past two former match sites and "you would never know the match was there." Anothct''rumour which the Armstrongs are quick to discount is the fact that they're getting rich offering their land for the match. It's 0 rumour they've been asked about more than once by visiting reporters. The facts are the host farmer is paid $70 an acre for the land being used to house the tent city, and this land is lea ed from the first of August to .the end of October. Under the agreement with the Ontario Plowmen's As- sociation, the land is sup- lxlsed to be returned as near as possible to its original state, Farmers who offer their I;ud for plowing or parking are paid $25 per acre for plowing sites and $22 per acre for parking sites, for the lx:ri0d of the match. .line Armstrong said if anyone looked at their land lying used from 0 monetary mint of view, "then we'd better to forget it."

Finding tractors, plows for IPM is quite a job What is a plowman without his tractor? And where does one find a tractor several hundred or thousand kilometers from honk on the eve of a big competition? This is a problem that will face a number of competi- tors, some coming from as tar away as Europe, at the International Plowing Match just outside Wingham this fall, and Neil McGavin of Walton is the man in charge of solving it. Mr. McGavin, whose father, Gordon, was a past president and director of the Ontario Plowmen's Associa- tion, heads up the tractor committee for IPM' '78; Foremost among his commit- tee's responsibilities is the job of finding equipment for use by plowmen who travel long distances to the match, it's not as big a job as it used to be, Mr. McGavin noted but it docs have its unique problems. Match plowing has become quite an art - and a very competitive one - with the result that most competi- tors try to bring their own equipment to the match. Specially designed plows are used, with long moldboards to give neater furrows, and a plo>vman familiar with his equipment can just about (Continued on Page 14. ) LOOK US UP at the Plowing Match , HURON? 78 14 September 26 30, 1978 HURON COUNTY See our set-ups on BUTLER ACORN CLAY Feeders & Silo unloaders & conveyers Monster Manure pump Cleaners & Heated Waterers Silo unloaders Feeders cleaners 'WESTEEL-ROSCO Granaries B & L Hog Confinement systems "Ventilation systems" For allour farm needs dssee LOWRY Farm Systems R.R. 1, Kincardine, Ont at Amberley Phone 395-5286 The joys of hosting the IPM (Continued from Page 4 ) fences, and generally beautifying their farms.

Station on the Northern Rail - 'way, about five miles from the City of Toronto, It was sponsored by the Board of the Provincial Exhi- bition held in Toronto in September of that same year. The match was open to the whole pro,, ince, There were five classf:s: Open to all with entry fee $6; open to all who had not taken a first or second prize during the last five years — fee $5; open to those using cast-iron beam plows - fee $4; open to boys under 18 years of age that had not won a first prize in any former match — fee $2; open to boys who had never competed in a plowing match — fee $1. For' -three plows started at a gin signal at 11:15 am., and with the exception of three or four, finished at 3:15 p.m. The fielc' consisted of 30 acres of sod mostly of light, gravelly soil, A quarter of an acre was assigned to each competitor. The time allowed was 14 hours per acre. Each was permitted to use an assistant to set the stakes. Prizes consisted of cash and goods such as: • Silver mounted team harness, a cutter for the winter roads, a fanning mill for cleaning seed grain, a set of harrows, cook stove, set of draining tools, table lamp, saddle, scotch collars, suit of clothes, purebred ram, steel mold board plow, carton of sheep tick destroyer, a melodion, a pump, a buggy, a straw cutter, chest of drawers, stable lantern, pair of boots. A report in the Canadian Farmer of November 15, 1866, goes on to say: "A novel and a very agreeable feature of this plowing competition was a conversat:ione in the evening in St, Lawrence Hall. Re- freshments were served and a goodly company including a sprinkling of ladies partook• of the social repast and spent a very agreeable evening in witnessing the presenatation of prizes to winning com- petitors and listening to addresses of several speakers and 'the sweet strains of music. The proce- edings ended wih the National Anthem by the splendid band of the 17th regiment."

Any exhibiton has lots of food, treats and goodies of all sorts available and the Inter- national Plowing Match is no exception to the rule, At the Match September 26.30 there will be over 50 caterers. As well, many of the exhibitors will be offering cool drinks to those walking the seven long streets viewing the exhibits. All that food and drink brings the Huron County Health Unit in co-operation with the Health and Water committee of the plowing match into the picture. With the expected crowds of over 50,000 per day arriving,there will have to be plenty of washroom facilities and water on the site. The recent polio scare means people will be even more cautious and concerned than usual about the clean- liness of both food handling places and washrooms. Over a year ago local healthofficials were working with the Health and Water committee making recom- mendations as to what was required to protect people wino attend the match. Ed Harrison, director of Public Health Inspections for Huron County Health Unit, says the main concern of the unit is to provide safe drinking water and sanitary washroom facilites. H1 Concern The number one concern is the water. The location of the site means the match can use Wingham water. Pipes are bieng laid from Wingham and health authorities will be on hand to flush out the pipes with disinfectant before the first water is run through them and then to take routine THE INSPECTORS Maryanne and Patrick Moylan of R.R.5, Seaforth and Billy Kinahan their guest from Wingham, may not have been the official judges at the Huron County Plowing Match but they still know a good furrow when they .see one. (Expositor Photo) water checks to test for cleanliness. Water is usally either trucked in by tanker truck from the nearest location or a well is drilled for the oc- casion.Both are either not perfectly sanitary or ex- pensive, The Health and Water Committee headed by Doug McNeil will be on the site helping install the water system. The chairman has allotted all of September to work involved with the match. The five other comittec members are Norman Durst. Clinton; Jim Mair, Brussels, Cliff Bray, Ethel, Ed Har- rison from the Huron County Health Unit and Jim Meerut,~-• Goderich. Roughly 250 portable washrooms will be on the site and they are aptly called "Johnny on the Spots" In- spectors on the site will check these facilities for cleanliness and they are disinfectd daily. With the basics' taken care of there are the caterers to consider. The last thing anyone would want is a , case of food poisoning. Inspectors are available to speak to any groups catering at the match but all are advised to avoid serving hazardous foods that cannot be heated or refrigerated properly, "A majority of them (caterers) are old hands or repeat operators and have been with the event for a number of years and arc good with complying with the regulations," Mr. Harrsion says. "They know what is expected of them." Every caterer must comply with the same regulations as any restaurant. Rest Areas At a previous meeting the health unit authorities sug- gested that rest areas. be designated for mothers and children and older people who may need some place to sit down after walking great distances.

As Mr. Harrison says, "You consider the parent wiio carries around a 30 pound child and htey can get pretty tired," - But the plowing match committees have limited space and noted that people could sit at the tents where caterers were serving or maybe exhibitors could have something to offer. "It would be something to consider for other years," says Mr. Harrison. "Maybe a county could sponsor a rest area. Another first for this year is the area allotted at the match to campers and Trailers. The arca is located south of the tent city. For a -fee exhibitors, workers and people planning to stay more than one day can camp near the site and hopefully avoid the frustration of not finding aplace to stay over night and tiaftic snarls. In Shifts Local health authorities will be on duty at the match all day every day until it closes in ' the evening, operating in two shifts. The seven inspectors and two students will work out of a trialer as an office on the site. Any complaints about uisanitary conditions, food, water, garbage can be directed to them. The first inspectors will be on the job protecting the public two weeks before the first day when the water pipes are laid. As a final surnniary Ed Harrison said that "there will be complete coverage by the Huron County Health 'hit in all areas. We will be working closely with the committee which has been co-operating one hundred per cent."

Ultimately, the job of any of the 23 committees organi- zing IPM '78, Mr, Aitchison said, is "to make things as pleasant as we can for anybody who comes to the plowing match, There really /1 won't be a Mired in the mud at Seaforth's IPM in 1966 Horses are still apart of the match Though chairmen of the other 22 International Plow- ing Match local committees have ext)( ienccd Ontario Plowmen, Associ:it ion (OPA) reprk s 1.10 I VC. and C.gnunittee chairman from past years to help then,, Don Martin is almost alone in planning his committee's work. i ALFRED .Mr. Marlin, of the Ethel arca, is chairman of the IPM demonstrations committee, and the annual plowing match, which is expected to attract about 250,00(1 10 the Wingham arca, has never had 0 demonstrations com- mittee before.

Mr. Martin said machinery companies have been less than. eager to participate in the demonstrations, "1 guess they are afraid it may lln'n into 0 competition,' he said. The demonstrations, he noted, are simply to give plowing match visitors a chance to sec the various types of machinery in action, Even the OPA was a little wary about trying the. demonstrations, Mr, Martin said because much of the revenue brought in by the live -day plowing match is the rental ot'space in the 87 -acre tented city.

'I'hc 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 tcntcd city promoting products and services, Mr. Aitchison said, Plowing with horses is just as pop ular 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 ',o do farm work with horses and want to rekindle SU111e memories. All seven members of the team and horse show committee either show horses at competitions, or have shown them, Mr. Aitchison said. Glenn Johns- ton, Fordwich; Sans Pletch, 13elgrave; Bob Aitchison, Luck now; Tommy Leiper, Londcsboro; Tom Penhale, Bay field; and Arnold Young, Godcrich , are 011 members of the committee, uncles Mr. A itch ison's leadership.

FARM EQUIPMENT LTD• For More Information Phone 519-395-5107 Rubber boots are reminders THE PLOWING MATCH SUPPLEMENT — 9 Of 1966 IPM at Scott's in Seaforth Every now and then, someone on the James M. Scott farm on the outskirts of Seaforth plows up a rubber boot, The boots are one of the last visible reminders that the Scott farm was the host farm for the 1966 Inter- national Plowing Match. Although the match drew crowds, and the plowmens' competitions proceeded as usual, the 1966 match is usually remembered as the year the skies opened up and the tented city turned into a sea of mud. Enterprising salesmen lx'ough carloads of rubber boots and galoshes tothe site which they sold to visitors who had come unprepared for Hurn County's rain. Over the years, the plowing matches held in Huron County have had their share of bad luck. The first match, scheduled to be held on the Whyte farm outside Seaforth, was cancelled to the war, mud. In the attempt to free herself, she lost her balance, toppled over and her skirt billowed out around her, While the top half of her outfit escaped, unfortunately the bottom half sank into the mud. Today, Mr, Scott heartily approves of plans to park cars off the actual plowing match site and ferry visitors from the lots to the tented city by tractor and wagon. But while people tend to remember the 1966 match for the rain and the mud, Mr. Scott points out the plowing competitions went on as scheduled and visitors, including school tours, poured in despite the rain. He points out that a recent history of Northside United Church records the UCW group in the church made over $2,000 at their food concession at the match, despite the poor weather.

After the hoopla of the But Huron County no 1966 match was over, the longer holds the record for local IPM committee and the the wet weather. Scotts, were faced with the cleanup operations. Although exhibitors were asked to remove as much of their display as possible, there were some reminders left behind. One of the more memorable, aside from the rubber boots, were yards and yards of beige, white and blue bunting which lay in the mud. Mr. Scott said his wife eventually laundered the material which had been just dropped on the fields when the' owner cleared away his display. A more bothersome part of Me cleanup operation was removing the concrete which some exhibitors had poured for the floor of their exhibit area. Mr. Scott says he's been assured that last year's match in Frontenac County has captured the record for the muddiest, wettest match in IPM history. This year, Huron County organizers are holding the match earlier in the season and keeping their fingers crossed that the weather man will co-operate. • They've decided to ignore the fact the Farmer's Almanac, which isn't infallible anyway, is predic- ting rain for most of the IPM week. Recalling his own stint as mayor of the tented city, James Scott says he has absolutely no regrets about. hosting the match, despite the wet weather and the job of cleaning up the site afterwards. Souvenirs At the time of the 1966 event, people carried mud on their cars (and boots) from Huron County to every corner of Ontario. A good bit of that mud was . prime top soil which had covered the Scott fields. The problem with the 1966 match, long since corrected, was that visitors could drive their cars through the four streets on the 100 acre tented city exhibits site. Once the rain started, the streets of the city turned to mud, cars went in up to their axles. But it wasn't only cars who suffered. Pedestrians who tried to walk through the exhibit also sometimes needed a helping hand to pull them out of a rut or out of mud which was spilling over their boot tops. Mr. Scott remembers nnn incident vividly. A woman of ample proportions was exploring the exhibit area ' when her feet got stuck in the Also, when booths were taken down, the nails that improved over the years their first major match. sure, Your basic rubber boot If it hasn't, one thing's for isstill pretty much the same. since Huron County hosted Riding through the mud at the 1966 Match held theta together littered m. the Scott fields and proved a ixtrticular hazard to the tires of tractors used in the Cleanup operation. if the weatherman had co-operated a bit more for the 1966 match, it's unlikely the Scott farm would have suffered any serious wear and tear. As it was, the tented city was Left full of ruts and Mr. Scott says it took a few years to get the site back to normal. This year, Mr. Scott and his son Bill, who acted as deputy mayor at the 1966 match, are going to fly over the Armstrong farm during the match to see how things have changed. The tented city will have seven streets instead of four, and there will be more exhibits than ever before. Also, the equipment used in today's match has changed a little from the 1946 match Mr. Scott atten- ded at Port Albert. Then he recalls, plowmen were using horses more than tractors, ti1reshing machines instead of combines and shoeing horses as one of the competitive events in the match, But agriculture has changed drastically in the years since 1946.

A lot of activities, displays and competitions have been organized to keep women busy, ladies' program com- mittee chairperson Carol Armstrong, of R,R.4, Wing - ham, said recently. In fact, the committee will probably have the largest covered area in the entire 87 -acre tented city. The ladies' program, which will include numerous activities and displays of interest to men, will be held in two 50 by 100 foot tents and a building of the same size. The building will house 40 to 50 crafts people who will display their wares, and will feature quilts made by Huron County residents competing in the plowing match quilting contest. One of the big tents will be set aside for fashion shows, with a seating capacity of 500 to 600, Mrs. Armstrong said. Men's, women's and children's fashions from clothing stores throughout Huron County, and even outside the county will be featured. The tent will house cook- ing demonstrations by mar- keting boards, and hair- styling workshops and an afternoon exercise class. The other tent contains horticultural exhibits and seminars on care of cacti, tropical plants, showing dried flowers and live flowers and many other topics of interest to all gardeners. It will be the first time the .IPM ladies' program committee has had a horti- cultural tent, Mrs, Arm- strong says. Horticultural displays were incorporated with other displays in years gone by, she said. District 8 of the Ontario Horicultural Society will have about a quarter of the large WELCOMING HANDSHAKE — Ontario Minister of Agriculture Bill Newman celebrates plowing the first furrow at the International Plowing Match site on Jim Armstrongs farm south of Wingham, by shaking hands with IPM chairman Howard Datars. 041,11104,1" 111110008 c�� me and visit our display �s Co at International Plowing Match September 26 - 30, 1978 HURON COUNTY A NEW McKEE EBRO tent for its displays, while the remaining space will be for shows by groups which participate in the seminars. Programs will be running continuously in the horti- cultural area, and the pro- posals are already getting so well accepted that committee members are getting "quite rxrited ahnutthis". The committee started planning,the ladies' program just after IPM '76 In Bruce County at Walkerton , Mrs. Armstrong said. She was approached to chair the committee before the 1976 match and watched that area of the Bruce match with great interest. In October 1976, the committee, made up of Joan Campbell, Seaforth; Dorothy Coultes, Belgrave; Shirley McAllister, Zurich; Betty Cardiff, Brussels; and Susan Wheatly, Scaforth, met. Thirty thousand programs for ladies' program Activities will be printed, Mrs, Arm- strong said, but this may not take care of all the visitors to the exhibits. The committee expects "half of the people who come to the plowing match to come through our area", Mrs, Armstrong said. About 250,000 are expected at the Sept, 26 to 30 match. Anyone who has gone through the ladies' exhibits in past plowing matches and thinks this one will be the same, is in for a surprise, Mrs. Armstrong said, because "each year the whole thing is different". One of the things that fall under the committee's juris- diction is the ordering and sales of IPM '78 souvenirs, The committee has plowing match charms, pens, mugs, trays, frisbees and T-shirts, It won't just be committee members staffing the three main areas of ladies' program activity, Mrs. Arm- strong said, Women's Insti- tute groups will provide about 12 helpers each day and there will be scores of volunteers helping to provide information and enjoyment for the 125,000 expected at the ladies' exhibits.. 3 models to choose from: 350, 45 h.p. 460, 57 h.p. 470, 67 h.p.

Listowel, Ontario Tel. 291-2441 14 -- THE PLOWING MATCH, SUPPLEMENT Finding tractors, plows for IPM is quite a job (Continued from Page 5, ) more demanding since not make the plow talk, just any tractor will do. A On the one hand this plowman who can't bring his own equipment will want something as nearly identical to his own as possible so he's not plowing at a disadvan- tage with unfamiliar equip- ment. When a competitor sends in his registration to the OPA reduces the demands on the tractor committee: Mr. McGavin estimates he'll have . to conk up with 20 tractors while a few years ago it would have been 50. On the other hand, how- ever, -it makes things a little in Toronto he will state whether or not he needs a tractor and specify his first three preferences. The list then comes to Mr, McGavin and the tractor committee goes to work. They make every effort to give a person his first preference but if that's impossible he will have to TURNING A FURROW -Roy Pattison, vice-chairman of the International Plowing Match committee, and former reeve of VVawanosh Township, demonstrated his skills with the plow at the Huron County Plowing Match, held on the Campbell farm in McKillop township • Drop in at McKee Ebro display during the International Plowing Match Sept. 26-30 See the NEW Ebro Tractors and Fiskar ploughs NEW McKEE EBRD 4 models to choose from 350-45 h.p. 460-57 h.p. 470-67 h.p. 480-72 h.p. all sizes of Fiskar ploughs We will be there, Drop in and have a chat with us.

When the committee locates a tractor it can use it gives it a thorough going- over to make sure it's in good shape and arranges pickup and delivery for it. While at the match the tractors will be kept in a gua r ded compound area just across the highway from the tented city, The committee's responsi- bility for providing equip- ment is pretty much limited to tractors, Mr, McGavin said. The plowmen will either contrive to bring their own plows to the match or will arrange for a plow through their dealer network which is a good thing since the cost of match plows runs around $1,000. . There is also a limit•to how "fine" a person can get in specifying equipment prefer- ences, Some Europeans who come over for the match want nine inch wide tires on their tractors since thats what they're used to, but the narrow tires just aren't avail- able here, he noted, In addition to finding, transporting and storing the tractors, the tractor commit- tee will set up a small repair shop with facilities *for wel- ding or sharpening plow points.' It is also responsible for having some big tractors MINISTER WELCOMED TO HURON COUNTY - Hon. William G. Newman, Ontario Minister of Agriculture and Food, receives a Huron County welcome from daughters of Jim Armstrong, host farmer for the 1978 International Plowing Match and Farm Machinery Show. The plowing match will be held one mile east of Wingham, on Highway 86, from September 26 to 30. THE PLOWING MATCH SUPPLEMENT — 15 for IPM is quite a job standing by to pull exhibi- tors' trucks on and off the site if it is wet and for looking after the fuel for the plowmen and the Junior Farmers' wagon train. The committee has a budget for fuel but the plowmen and other commit- tees are expected to pay for fuel they use. Last year the fuel budget went out the window very quickly as over 900 gallons were used just to pull things onto the muddy site, Mr. McGavin noted, Hopefully that won't happen this year.

'she original concept be- hind the match was com- petition between plowmen. Today the plowing match has expanded to include bands and parades, antique and historic displays, county ex- hibits, demonstrations --farm .equipment dealers will be demonstrating what their machinery can do. There will also be the cooking and fashion demonstrations and Hutch more, according to Raymond Scotchnlcr, publicity chairman. The plowing match was held in York County near Toronto. Each year the Match is taken to a different county. The match sites are chosen by bidding and it was four years ago that Huron County put in a successful liid to host it in 1978. Right now, Mr. Scotchnlcr says, the Plowing Match is booked 'up to 1983 or 1984. Thi, i, Huron County's third time for hosting the Match, it was first held in Huron in 1946 in Port Abiert, just after the war and in 1966 in Scaforth. This tisk its location is on the farm of .lasses Arm- strong and some neigh- bouring farms, near Wing - ham on #86 Highway. Over 1,000 acres are required for the competitions, demon- strations, parking and tented city. Chosen And how is the plowing match site chosen? Ac- cording to Mr. Scotchnlcr, the Ontario Plowmen's Ex- ecutive goes around to the counties that have put in a bid for it and decidefrom, there where the Match is going to be held. Some of the requirements they look for are the contour• of the land and the avail- ability Of hydro. and Bell telephone facilties. "There \V1lI be over due? miles of hydro and Bell telephone facilities. 'There will he over three miles of hydro. lines put up at the present site. 'they also look at the avail- ability of water, and for well desired land for parking and plowing. The whole area of the site takes in something like 1,200 acres, Mr. Seotchslcr says. Over 200 contestants are to compete for over $35,000 in llt'i• e money in various clas- ses. Special contests are held for the Queen of the Furrow, for Mayors, Wardens, and Regional C'hairmanl and media represent at ives. About 140 acres ol" Tented City has been set up in which seven streets are contained, Mr. Scotchnlcr points out that the Plowing March has seen an awful difference in .lust a few short years since in Lindsay, in 1970, there were Only four streets.

Don Pullen is the secretary of the Huron County Local Committee of the Plowmen's Association. Mr. Scotchmer who is also, curator of the Huron County Pioneer Museum in Goderich, said, "We're hoping for a good antique and historic display. 200 People There are about 23 chair- man on the local committees with some 200.250 members on these committees which are in charge of denlon- stl'ations, conlpetitons, parades, billeting and all the other things that go into putting the Match on, At least three to four acres has keen provided on a farm about a quarter of a mile away from the Plowing Match site, .for trailers and there are other trailer parks in Winghanl besides.

That's why the billeting committee for the Match is doing its best to find private homes for the out•of-towners. On the committee are Don and Vi McKay and Don and Yvonne Carter from Wingham, Walter and Jean Willits from Turnberry, Mur- ray and Joyce Vincent from East Wawanosh and Bert and Isabelle Garniss from Norris. Geroge Underwood is the committee chairman. Most of the hotels •and motels within a 30 mile radius were booked by about Christmas time and major companies have chosen to find accommodations as far away as Stratford, Kitchener, London, Port Elgin and Southampton. Meanwhile the billeting committee has tried to get representatives from the smaller companies set up in private home, Mr. Under- wood said. These companies are given a list of which homes will offer room and board or just a room and then it's up to them, to call and arrange the accommodations themselves. 10 Mile Radius Mr. Underwood says the committee is trying to keep the private homes within a ten mile radius of the plowing match site. As those run out, he said there is a possibility they will go out- side that radius, He added that they have had offers floral as far away as Exeter. If accommodation is needed for four or five people wllo need to be close to- gether, Mr. Underwood said they will try t0 get two Morales within close proximity of each other. Contestants The Queen of The Furrow contestants are also going to be installed in private homes on one street in Wingham an ,Avill be within about one block of each other. 1t is impossible at this point to tell how many people have made arrangements for accommodation, But the pro- spective visitors to the Match do conte from all over. The committee has had callers firm Owen Sound, Quebec, Michigan, Florida and King- ston. At the moment the com- mittee has a list of about 100 private homes in which they can put visitors. 1978 HONDA XL -75 .The smallest member for the whole family Durable and dependable Check out OUR large line of HONDA'S at the HURON 78 ay September 26 - 30, 1978 HURON COUNTY Seaforth Automotive September 26 - 30, 1978 58 Main St., Seaforth 527-0880 HURON COUNTY 18 — THE PLOWING MATCH SUPPLEMENT Funding the IPM: The Match is not a moneymaker While organizers always hope an International Plowing Match will make a profit, the match isn't a moneymaking venture. If that seems a con- tradiction in terms, it's be- cause both the Huron Plow- men's Association and the Ontario Plowmen's As- •sriJciation are non-profit organizations. • Also, the provincial and local organizations have dif- ferent • financial re- sponsibilities in staging a match. The Ontario Plowmen's Association receive the revenue from selling the space to exhibitors during the match. The provincial or- ganization however, has to guarantee the county or- ganization the direct ex- penses of staging a match, The county group received its revenues from the gate receipts collected during the actual mr.t'h itself, whic means thci local organization has a far greater potential for bringing in revenue than the parent body. The problem arises when bad weather nor other dis- asters result in a poor turnout. 'That's when gate receipts drop, and ttie Ontario Plow- men's Associaton has to ball out the county organization.

The budget for the inter- national Plowing Match in Huron County this year has been set a $160,000, and the provincial organization guarantees direct expenses up to ,the figure. Some of the expen se incurred in staging the match are $30,000 for an advertising campaign, over $50,000 for installing hydro on the site, $11,200 for installing telephone service, over $10,000 to provide Johnny -on -the spots and $35,000 in prize money for plowmen. If the 250,000 people ex- pcxtecl at the match do turn up, and it is a profitable year, the local Huron County as- sociation is reponsible for covering all the expenses of staging the match. 'Men, i1' there are funds over and above the expenses, they pay members of their various committees mileage and per diem rates for the meetings they have attended over the past several months. Finally, if there are still funds remaining, as there were in the case of the successful match held in Bruce County, the local plowmen's association can use the money for projects in their area. In Frontenac County, since the match lost money, com- mittee members never did receive any renumeration But as Carol Armstrong, said nobody goes into a match thinking about what you'll make, "It's people working together and it brings the people of a county together," You can't measure that in dollars and cents.

Avoiding the traffic By Debbie Ranncy Flying farmers could be a step ahead of harried motorists when they come to the international Plowing Match in Wingham in September, They won't have to park at the site. The Wingham airport will be providing parking space for planes and will be offering free transportation for the flying farmers out to the plowing snatch site as well Bill Cruikshank, owner of the airport said the farmers 11i11 be landing at the airport and from there four vehicles are to provide continuous THE PLOWING MATCH`SUPPLEMENT - 19 Farmers arrive by air free transportation to the plowing match site. These vehicles will be transporting people as the need arises, Mr. Cruikshank said the only limitation at his airport is the parking space. He said at the Walkerton airport during the Bruce match they had 75 planes on a good day. 'I don't think we could Predict how many we're expecting. We could park 100 planes if we needed to," he said, As well as farmers, Mr, Cruikshank thinks that some of the farm machinery com- panies probably will be flying in as well, The Wingham airport is licences,' free for everybody to use, and Mr, Cruikshank really can't see any problems mmith landing or room for the planes. "We have two runways, We're going to park them on one and -land them on the other.I'm sure there's no danger of running out o1' space," he said.

Free Transport Airfield - Site either, except for keeping the grass cut, as the runways are used all the time, Mr, Cruikshank thinks that a lot of farmers would fly in fium short distances to the plowing match just to beat the traffic lineups, For the planes that do fly in, he has gasoline available if they nerd it and m61 have a radio to talk to therm conning in. A little trailer will be parked down by the runway and radio contact will be made flims there. "We'll have to have some- body there to park airplanes and somebody to give gasoline, and four vehicles mvill be standing by all day long to transport people conning and going from the plowing match," Mr, Cruik- shank said. Posters have also been put in most of the airports in Ontario indicating where the airport is, and in most of the aviation trade magazines. there is a little blurb that indicates that landing space is available at the Wingham airport for people planning to fly to the match. Mr, Cruikshank said that over 250, people flew Into Walkerton last year over a live day period. 0$14os1/4', HURON'78 any September 26 • 30, 1978 HURON COUNTY The Best In Farm Machinery HURON' 78 ten= September 26 30, 1978 HURON COUNTY Weare dealers for DroN Machinery., Kongskilde ■ LEYLAND Norcan Farm Equipment S-Ei RY-J--1LI\EWr HOLLAND See us at the Sperry New Holland Exhibit EFE ■ EXETER FARM EQUIPMENT LIMITED THE BEST IN FARM MACHINERY 242 MAIN ST.
