Match visitors see finest land
Visitors to the 1978
International Plowing
Match near Wingham
will drive through some
of the most productive
land in Canada.
Prime examples are
the farms of David ,and
Jean Dinsmore at RR 1,
Fordwich and Mr, and
Mrs. Bradley Galbraith
of RR 3, Wingham. They
have been selected
winners of the most
improved farmstead and
the most attractive
farmstead in the 1978
farmstead and home
improvement com-
petition. This annual
event is sponsored by the
local committee in the
county which hosts the
International Plowing
Match.
The Huron '78 ' com-
mittee had little trouble
getting 130 entries in this
year's event. In addition
to the categories men-
tioned, prizes were also
available for most im-
proved, urban home and
best maintained rural or
urban home.
A two-man
judging
committee spent weeks
driving throughout the
county, taking
photographs for before
and after comparisons.
Their choices were not
easy to make as the
enthusiasm of many
entrants showed through
in spruced -up properties.
Prizes for the event
were all donated by
concerned businesses and
local government. Main
contributors included the
Canadian Imperial Bank
of Commerce, United Co-
operatives of Ontario and
nearly every township in
the county.
All entrants were
guests at a special
banquet and dance
September 6 at which the
prize winners- were an-
nounced. The Farmstead
Improvement Com-
petition really has no
losers. All entrants were
recognized by presen-
tation of a special plaque
bearing the Huron County
crest.
The results of the hard
work put forth of entrants
and others who have
improved their farms and
homes without taking
part in the competition,
will remain to grace
Huron County long after
the 1978 International
Plowing Match is just a
pleasant memory.
As you drive to
Wingham September 26 '
to 30, look about and
enjoy the results of the
Farmstead improvement
competition.
Winners in the most
improved rural dwelling
and grounds were Mr.
and Mrs. Larry Merner,
RR 3, Zurich; Mr. and
Mrs. Raymond Scot-
chmer, RR. 3, Bayfield
and Mr. and Mrs. Ross
Cooke, RR 1, Kirkton.
A new litter of Kittens
for Fall
Kitten Knit does it again with o new and exciting
collection of casual dressy knits. If you already
own a Kitten Knit you'll wont to see the new
collection. If you don't, now is a great time to
start. As always, Trevira Polyester and wool
fabric means true machine washability and
looks great for o long time.

"The fashion show is a
collaboration between
many of Huron County's

continuous program on
all aspects of house
