I Have A Lot: Yes No Location
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 committee
had little trouble getting 130
entries in this year's event.
In addition to the categories
mentioned, prizes were also
available for most improved
rural home, most improved
urban home and best main-
tained rural or urban home.
A two-man judging
committee spent weeks
driving throughout the coun-
ty, taking photographs for'
before and after com-
parisions. Their choices
were not easy to make as the
enthusiasm of many en-
trants showed through in
spruced -up properties.
Prizes for the event were
all donated by concerned
businesses and local govern-
ment. Main contributors in-
cluded 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 Competition
really has no losers. All en-
trants were recognized by
presentation of a special
plaque bearing the Huron
County crest.
The results of the hard
work put forth of entrants
and others who have im-
proved 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 the enjoy the results
of the Farmstead improve-
ment competition.
Winners in the most im-
proved rural dwelling and
grounds were Mr. and Mrs.
Larry Merner, RR 3,
Zurich; Mr. and Mrs. Ray-
mond Scotchmer , RR 3,
Bayfield and Mr. and Mrs.
Ross Cooke, RR 1, Kirkton.
Enjoy those
hamburgers
Enjoy.a real feast at an af-
fordable price by barbecu-
ing bargain burgers with
your choice of mouth-
watering sauces.
Food consultants at
Agriculture Canada priced
their beef burgers made
with regular ground beef at
a price of $1.34 per pound, an
egg, milk and seasonings
and they were less than 45
cents per serving. The
sauces ranged from 3 cents
to 14 cents for six burgers.
And so beat the budget
squeeze and enjoy
barbecued burgers. Be sure
to add the egg and milk. This
ensures that the burgers will
keep their shape during
cooking.

Ladies play big role
in Wingham plow match
The corner of Fifth Street
and Armstrong Avenue
promises to be a busy spot
during the last week of
September. You're not likely
to find that intersection on a
local map however - it will be
located in the International
Plowing Match's famous
Tented City,
The "address" is the
location of this year's ladies'
program and it's bigger and
better than ever.
"Women have always been
encouraged to come to the
Plowing Match and there has
always been something
especially for them," says
Carol Armstrong, wife of the
host farmer and chairlady of
the match's Ladies'
Program Committee. "But
this year we really wanted to
attract the whole family and
show them a great time in
Huron County."
The program will be held
in two huge tents and a
building, all tied together by
,a landscaped courtyard.
The main tent will be set
up theatre style to seat up to
600 people. The continuous
program features daily
fashion shows, cooking
demonstrations, hairstyling
exhibitions and an audience
participation exercise
program.
"Since white beans are
Huron's high value crop, the
cooking demonstrations will
centre on that food spon-
sored by the Ontario Bean
Producers' Marketing
Board. Pork will also be
featured thanks to the
Ontario Pork Producers'
Marketing Board," says
Mrs. Armstrong. "The
fashion show is a
collaboration between many
of Huron County's leading
retailers and should be an
accurate preview of fall and
winter styles. The exercise
program entitled "How fit
are you?" is a first and we
are hoping it will be fun for
all."
A second tent will behome
to a much -expanded hor-
ticultural display and
program. "The horticultural
part of past programs has
been enormously popular so
we decided to give ours a
roof of its own. A 200 seat
theatre will feature a con-
tinuous program on all
aspects of house plants,
gardening and so forth. The
other half of the tent will
contain displays arranged by
the resource people
presenting the programs, the
District eight Horticultural
Society and the Ministry of
Agriculture and Food."
Jo -Anne Dinney of Country
Flowers in Exeter will be in
-charge of a live flower
demonstration Saturday
afternoon at 3 p.m.
Both tent programs will
feature lots of valuable door
prizes.
The building will house
craft- displays from forty
talented exhibitors. All the
crafts will be offered for
sale. In addition, the outlet
for official Huron '78
souvenirs will be in the
building as well as a display
of quilts from a special
quilting contest.
"Each of these quilts is an
original design to com-
memorate Huron '78", ex-
plains Mrs. Armstrong.
"Entries come from Huron
county residents in com-
petition for prizes of $100,
$75, $50 and $10 for every
entry. Judging takes place at
10 AM on September 18 at the
OMAF office in Clinton."
Mrs. Armstrong's hard
working committee includes
Joan Campbell -and Susan
Wheatley, both of the
Seaforth area, Dorothy
Coultes, Belgrave, Shirley
McAllister, Zurich and Betty
Cardiff, Brussels.
"We are sure the program
will be a popular one - and
not only with the ladies,"
says the chairlady. "We
expect to have at least
125,000 people pass through
the display between Sep-
tember 26 and 30."
Location' of this year's
match is the Jim Armstrong
farm, one mile east of
Wingham,
TURNS FIRST FURROW — Ontario's Agriculture Minister Bill Newman plowed the first
