2 PERTH COUNTY SPECIAL EDffION
THE RURAL VOICE
PERTH COUNTY SPECIAL ISSUE
SHEILA GUNBY
Executive Editor
Perth County, in the heart of
rural Ontario, is the proud host of the
International Plowing Match this year. It
gives me great pleasure to introduce the
1988 Rural Voice Perth County Special Issue
in honour of the county and its people.
Perth is not only a vital farming region
but the home of beautiful small towns
and a dynamic city, Stratford, where the world-famous
Shakespearean festival flourishes. In this special issue we
visit the landscapes and people of Perth, past and present.
It's an opportunity to mark the achievements of farm groups,
rural organizations, and individuals that have made Perth
what it is today. Congratulations, Perth, you're great in '88.
It is also a pleasure to introduce Wayne Kelly, county
editor for this IPM issue. Wayne's enthusiasm for Perth
County and his skills in research are evident in our features
section, where even the Perth native will find some new
information about the county's heritage and achievements.0
WAYNE KELLY
County Editor
Wayne Kelly lives on a
small farm south of Exeter
with his wife Jeannie and
their five children. He owns
a small technical equipment
service business and also
works as a freelance writer,
researcher, and photojour-
nalist. He is a regular con-
tributor to The Rural Voice.
Raised in Perth County,
Wayne describes his
academic background as
unimpressive. "I dropped
out of high school because
it was hindering my
education," he says, adding
that he took his father's
advice to "learn something new every single day."
Author of The Crokinole Book, recently published by
The Boston Mills Press, he has an avid interest in Canadian
history and social issues as well as in agricultural concerns.
Wayne's historic "Voice from the Past" articles appear as a
series in The Rural Voice.0
