Beards galore
From page 31
To enter the contest, the men had to agree
to follow a few guidelines which included
getting permission from their wife, mother
or girlfriend.
Rule number one states, "let it be known
that all male persons, in the Township of
Tuckersmith not registering and complying
with the following rules of the Tuckersmith
Township Sesquicentennial Beard Growing
Competition, shall be required to purchase a
shaving permit for the sum of $5."
"Some were willing to pay the $5 while
others just laughed at us," said Mr. Moore.
Another condition upon entering the con-
test was all contestants must be clean
shaven. This rule was put in place to ensure
contestants didn't get a head start. The en-
try fee was $2.
Rule number four says "All contestants,
after registration, must remain bearded un-
til after the official judging, or be subject to
a penalty to be decided upon by the Beard
Growing Committee. Judging will take
place at the sesquicentennial celebrations
on the biome Coming Weekend, June 29-30."
During the June 29 judging at the Seaforth
and District Community Centres, trophies
will be awarded for the best all around
beard, best mustache and beard, best rimm-
ed beard, most colorful beard, longest beard
and scruffiest beard. Three local judges will
deter -mine the winners.
A Tuckersmlth man Is easy to spot these days - just look for a beard. Since February 15, 52
menhave put their shavers on the shelf In hopes of winning one of six trophies during the
judging on June 29. Chairman of the beard growing committee, Ken Moore, Isn't sure
he'll walk away with a trophy, but he has enjoyed being part of the sesquicentennial
celebrations.

Quilt contest
shows fine
workmanship
When one thinks of a work of art, they
think of pictures or sculptures, but another
item that could be classified as a work of art
will be on display June 29.
The Township of Tuckersmith Ses-
quicentennial Quilt Contest will feature
seven quilts, two made by groups and five
by individuals, with the first place quilt
becoming the property of the Township of
Tuckersmith.
Each quilt must commemorate
Tuckersmith's heritage with judging involv-
ing three categories: 50 per cent is awarded
for quality of workmanship, 25 per cent on
excellence of design and 25 per cent on
representation of Tuckersinith's Ses-
quicentennial.
The Tuckersmith Sesquicentennial Quilt
judging and draw will be held on June 29.
Tickets are $1 each or three for $2. First
prize is a quilt with second prize being $100
and third prize $75.
First place winner of the contest will win
$500, second place will win $100, third place
will win $75 and all other entrants will
receive $20.
The quilts made by organizations will be

can't win," said organizer Dorothy
