With less than six weeks to go before
the opening ceremonies for the Interna-
tional Plowing Match, Huron County
and Seaforth are gaining 'increasing at-
tention, in the press across Ontario and
beyond.
While there are perhaps a few in. the
area who suggest that the plowing
match is just another event, the daily
press looks at the match as being a po-
tentially large factor in the economic
progress of the area:
Typical of the comments is this edi-'
torial which appeared recently in the
Stratford Beacon -Herald:
•
"Fifty
eacon-Heraid-
"Fifty months ago, Huron County
farm Ieaders put in their bid for the
1966 Internrational PIowing Match. And
50 months ago, when their offer was
taken up by the Ontario Plowmen's
Association, the Huron delegation went
to work planning the event,
Less than two months" from now, the
International Plowing Match will open
on the James Scott and adjoining farms
at Seaforth. The match runs from Oct.
11 to Oct. 14, inclusive,
Huron County had its last match 20
years ago, in 1946. (The• match this
year perhaps comes sooner than some
expected. Perth County has not played
host to the International match since
1930.)
There .are many who will remember
the traffic jam caused by the 1946
match, held at Port Albert, several
miles north of Goderich. Cars from the
match jammed the old Saltford Hill
route of the Bluewater Highway from
Goderich to the site at Port Albert.
A Delayed
Industrial
Revolution
(Thirteenth Of A Series)
By WALT MCDAYTER
The Industrial, Revolution be-
gan in Englaind as early as 1760,
but did not really spread to this
country until the year, that Can-
ada became a nation, in 1867.
Prior to Confederation, there
was very little manufacturing in
Canada, apart from a few sim-
ple products such as flour or
wood -ash potash. The economy
depended more on the exports
of commodities in their raw
states, such as furs, liish and
timber.
After 1867, however,. Prime
Iffinister John A. • Macdonald
framed a protectionist trade
policy to encourage the develop-
ment of manufacturing, raising
a high tariff wall around' Cana-
da, to protect .fledgling indus-
tries froth foreign competition.
The National Policy, as Mac-
donald .named his tariff pro-
gram in 1879, paid big divi-
dends. Following Confederation,
Canada doubled its exports to
Britain, and increased it by one-
third to the United States. By
Area Progress
There are three figures in- the minds
of those planning the event. The first
is 45,000, which is the number of
people, at $1 a head, it would- take to
break even on the Huron committee's
budget of $45,000. The second is.
100,000, which is a logical estimate of
the number of people who might come
to see the match and the exhibits that
go with it.
The third figure is 200,000, and is
based on 50,000 people a day for the
four days. Planners realize it is an
optimistic figure, since it is not likely
the weatherman will give out four days
of perfect weather in succession.
No .one can estimate -aecurately-how
much money 100,000 people' will spend
in Huron County during the four days,
but it will be a substantial amount: In
addition, the 180 exhibitors - and the
planners and the entrants will be spend-
ing money in Huron and Seaforth.`:
There is perhaps another important
part connected with the match. The
100,000 people, or 200,000 if you are
optimistic, will see Huron County, many
for the first time. They will see rich
farmlands, pleasant towns and indus-
trious people.
The planning committee expects moat
of the people will come from Western
Ontario. At the International at Cale -
don three years ago, only 10 per cent
came from Eastern Ontario.
Among the spectators will be many
from outside of Ontario. What they
say about Seaforth and the county can
in no way hurt this area's future, Since
Huron County is not yet on the main
road, the match could have an excellent
effect on its progress.",

The Dodsworth farm on the

rented for, a 'term of five years

ville.
Master Willie Deichert of
Zurich, while working in Mr.
Johnston's woollen mill in that
village: accidently fell into a
tank of hot water, scalding his
legs and arms very severely.
The heavy gale blew six men
and a woman ashore at Drys-
dale in a small yawl, only 16
feet long. The surviving crew
bore the look of having exper-
ienced a narrow escape from
death. They had been exposed

of a raging sea and in an al-
most nude condition.
No new light was shed on the
burning of the old town hall by

WESTWARD THE SMILEYS
I've been married for nearly
20 years, all of them to •• the
same dame, and I understand
less at this moment about the
so-called feminine process of
thinking than I did on my wed-
ding day.
This admission is a result of
the latest turn in our economic
waltz with this summer.
Before holidays began, we had
discussed making a trip to the
west coast. Then my wife took
inventory of the finances and
stated flatly that we couldn't af-
ford it, even if we camped all
the way and ate at the Salvation.
Army.
I was rather relieved. I love
to travel, but I hate traveling
with women. They fuss about
missing trains. They worry
about hotel rooms. They take
enough clothes on a week's trip
to take there around the world
on a cruise. And they constantly
put their hair up and take it
down.
Therefore,. I looked forward'
to a quiet, restful' suminer. Lots
of golf. Plenty of swims. A few
fishing jaunts. An occasional ex-
cursion to see a play.
Them came the refrigerator
fiasco, already related here. Net
loss of $350. That really put the
clineher on our trip to the meat.
Then came the call, collect,
from Vancouver. The son 'and
heir informed us casually, but
with a trernour, that he didn't
think he'd go back to college.
You see, the boat he's working
on plies the Pacific to Acapulco,
Mexico, in the winter. And you
see; he could get a job on her as
a waiter. And you tee, he'd be
snaking $'10,(100 a year, at only
11), which is pretty good eh?
And you see, it would be a great
chane to see the Weed. And
you see, ,fe'dr be more mature in
a
Oar, and besides, Wottl& be

So, logically, we are going to

you only live once. And why

to see him for that length of

him out there to'save• $800 to-
