THE HURON EXPOSITOR Phone 141 • : Seaforth a group of Chamber members provided a colourful float at the International at Belleville. This was a "first" for plowing matches. No one had thought to use a float for this purpose before, And the Chamber also contributed $100 toward expens- es of the Seaforth All Girls' Trumpet Band which perform- ed at this match. Again in 1962, the Grand Bend Chamber prepared a float, dressed themselves in sporty .top hats bearing the message:. "International Plow- ing Match, Huron County 1966" and made a good impression at the event held last year near Owen Sound. All of the cost of this came through the Cham- ber. While doing this, they provided invaluable advertising for the county, and made further steps toward procuring the allocation of this county as the site for the -1966 Match. It would take a qualified financier to figure out just what this has meant to the county so far in the matter of dollars and cents. Certainly the plowing match in Huron in 1966 will bring a good deal of hard cash back into the hands of businessmen and farmers in the county. This is a known fact. There are, of course, prob- lems connected with the pres- entation of such a large event as the International. Not the least among these is the mat- ter of providing accommoda- tion for the thousands of ex- hibitors, officials, visitors, etc., who come to the area in which it is held. In Huron County, no section is better qualified and equip- ped to handle these thousands of men and women than the resort area of Grand Bend. These people are past mashers at the art of housing, feeding and entertaining from 15,000 to 30,000 'people each weekend during the summer. No other municipality in Huron is sub- jected -to this type of invasion —and no other is equipped, ev- en in a small way, to cope with the problems that these many thousands bring with them. Another major problem in connection with the Interna- tional has always been that of finding a .level field, which will not (when sub4ected to rains that can come in October) float away in a sea of mud, leaving exhibitors' tents afloat and visi- tors mired to the knees. Here again, Grand Bend has the situation under control. The site which they propose for the International is the Air Port, only three .miles east of the village on Highway 81, which is -occupied and cared for by the RCAF at Centralia. Permis- sion to use this site for the 1966 International was obtained from the Department of Nation- al Defence on April 9, 1962. There are miles of 'black top runways to form the basis for the tented city which -accompan- ies the plowing match, and still enough left over for incoming planes, should anyone wish -to arrive at the match by air. Al- so there are acres of solid farm- land, which could accommodate the thousands of people, horses, tractors and machines which will be loosed upon it. We don't need to expand up- 0 on the advantages of the Air s Port as a',site. Huron County t need only recall the excellent 0 match which was held at Port H I�i Hensa Browns Resume Work The First- Henaallu Browlnie, Pack resumed regular ,meetings last Tuesday following the Eas- ter vacation, with an attendance of 25 Brownies.

Mrs. George Sinker was intro- duced to the Brownies as a Sec- ond Tawny, and commenced her duties by helping the Golden Hands with knitting. commodation, food and enter- tainment for the big Interna- tional. In a way it is, strange that thevillage of Grand Bend should work for this project for .Huron County at all. •Grand Bend is not a part of Huron County, but is a part of Lamb - ton County, W ,then did they choose a site in ,Huron, rather than south somewhere, off High- way 21 and east of the Pinery9 Of course, the availability of the Air Port was part of the reason. But the main reason, we believe, is that Grand Bend is at heart, still a part of Hur- on. It was , in 1952 that the vil- lage obtained permission to secede from Huron kid to join Lambton. The reason was that restrictions in Huron under the Canada Temperance Act made life in a resort area particular- ly difficult. It was difficult to police and difficult to provide accommodation which tourists required. Since the tragic loss to Huron County of this village (it would be a good revenue producer through taxes, if it were again a legar .part of Huron, the Coun- ty of Huron has voted out the CTA, and now also comes un- der the Ontario Liquor Control Act. The reasons for Grand Bend's secession from Huron no longer exist. Geographically the village of Grand Bend should still be a part of Huron County. Certain- ly they have made an important move toward helping the econ- omy of Huron by promoting the area as a good site for the International. If there be any move toward "stealing"the project from the area of Grand Bend (and we understand there are people in the county with that in mind), we would like to take this op- portunity of pointing out to them that in the long run they would be doing the county a dis- service. The reputation of being "grabby" does not do any com- munity any good. A community which would try to'benegt from the hard work and contributed man hours of the people of another community, would be suspect in the future of doing other similar or even more per- verse things. It is discouraging to see any- thing like "politics" whether it be municipal, provincial or fed- eral, entering into such a pro- ject as this. If the County of Huron, as a whole, decide to centralize this project, and thus take the Match away from the proposed area — the need to reimburse the Grand Bend and Area Cham- ber of Commerce (fr'om $500 to $600) for their expenses, will be evident to all. However, we appreciate the pportunity of pointing out ome of the basic facts about he work done so far toward btaining the- International for uron County in 1966, and would urge that the whole coun- ty get behind the people who have done this preliminary spade -work, making sure that the project wins the acclaim which is its due—and that the 1966 Match be remembered throughout decades to come, as one of the best Internationals ever held.
