(Raftis photo) Seaforth proclaims World Food Day Although one councillor termed it a joke Seaforth Town Council passed a motion proclaiming October 16,' 1985 World Food Day in this municipality. The motion came as a result of a request by Jack Riddell, Minister of Agriculture antl Food, that all municipalities support a move made by the Ontario government. It has officially joined with private sector organiza- tions, voluntary agencies, educational insti- tutions, individual citizens and people working against hunger in 147 countries, to commemorate World Food Day and thus centre attention on the severity of world Perth to host 1988 IPM at Charlotte farm hunger. The proclamation points out well over 500 million people in the world suffer from hunger and malnutrition although resources and technology available can feed the entire global population of 4.8 billion. "I think it's a joke," said Councillor Paul Ross. "They can't even take care of the farmers of Huron County, let alone...." Other members of council appeared reluctant'to endorse the proclamation, "It's such a nothing proclamation," said Councillor Wayne Ellis. "I think the public is very much aware of hunger in the world. It's had a lot of media attention and I think we've all made some donation or another." Council further debated whether or not an advertisement should be taken out in the local paper to announce the proclamation but decided the advertising cost could be put to better use as a donation to world hunger. Council agreed to place the proclamation in several conspicuous spots hut made no further mention of a donation, After months of speculation, the Ontario Plowmen's Association has announced the site of the 1988 International Plowing Match which is being hosted by Perth County, W . Charlotte Farm, at the corner of O'L.nane and Lorne Avenue, where Stratford and Downie Township meet, will be the site of the 1.000 square foot area tented city. Augustine W alch, 45, the wiper of W Charlotte Farm and nine other landowners signed agreements with the OPA at a press conference held Thursday at the St. Paul's hall, Local committee chairman Doug Aitchison of RR 4, Listowel said the match site needs anywhere from 700 to 900 acres to host the match, which besides the tented city includes land for the actual plowing and parking. Providing these other necessities are Jack and Teresa Van Nes and their sons John and Jim, Ken Aitcheson, Roy Dill, Gari or Glen Coulthard, Bill Gibb, Howard Ballantyne and Tom Davidson. "it's a real pleasure for myself to have the match put on our land," said Mr. Welch who actually knew several weeks ago his farm had been chosen to host the 1988 1PM. At one point he apologized for his poor English noting he had only arrived in Canada from Bavaria, West Germany five years ago. He said his family became Canadian citizens in November of 1983. He paused then stressed "we are Canadians" and those crowded into the small township hall applauded. Mr. Watch and his wife Hanna have five children. four boys and one girl, ranging in age from eight to 23. The Welch farm has about 800 acres at the RR 3. Stratford address. Mr. Watch has a 200 -head dairy operation and besides operat- ing an elevator business, grows mixed crops. Some of the crops include wheat. soy beans. barley and corn. • Greetings and congratulations were brought by dignitaries, including Perth County Warden Oliver Mcbaosh, St. Marys Mayor Gerry Teahen, Stratford Mayor Ted Blowes, Downie Township Reeve Calvin Innes and MPP Hugh Edighoffer. Mayor Blowes got in his usual hilarious comments stating the OPA should have Perth County become the permanent site of the match. Great laughter followed when Mr. Blowes said a four lane divided highway would now have to run up Gibb road to accommodate the 1PM. The Gibb road is a dirt road which disects the land to be used for the match. Elland Lange of RR 2, Tavistock, chairman of the last 1PM in Perth in 1972, said the Downie Township site was chosen by the OPA over nine other farms in the county. Before 1972 Perth last hosted the match in 1930. "We didn't want to wait another" 42 years," said local committee co-chairman Lloyd Morrison of RR 1, St. Marys. It was in February of 1984, at the annual meeting of the OPA in Toronto, *hen two bus loads plus many car loads of Perth County citizens went to the Royal Y Hotel to convince the OPA that Perth is a place to host the 1988 match. Later that year a local co ''tee was chosen and earlier this year other committees started to be put in place. "Three years from tonight this county will be a beehive of activity," said Mr. Morrison, The plowing match and farm machinery show is usually held the third week of September. This year, the match is being hosted by Elgin County and is located just north of St. Thomas. ON TARGET—Sandy Pepper, of the Seaforth Lawn Bowling Club looks on as G.
