Miss Brunton told a group of students from grades one to eigbt at tbe Knox Christian Scbool last Tuesday afternoon that the match is going to be "bigger and better than ever. " More Than Plowing And to give the students some idea of what a plowing match is ail about, she brought along slides of last year's match. Although the show is partly a plowing competition, there's more than just plowing at a plowing match-. For example, the match at Walkerton includes parades, exhibits, a ladies' program and the annual "Queen of the Furrow" contest. At the end of the contest, Miss Brunton will turu over ber crown to a new Queen and that girl -- whoever she is -- wîll probably' bave a busy year. Miss Brunton estimates that last year she travelled over 15,000 miles as the reigning queen.

They wanted the children to see Kenya before ail the park lands are eaten up by farms, needed by the increasing population. Farm- ers have littie tolerance for wild animais and their need for space. t is a dilemma because the wild life in the parks bring in the needed tourist dollars, but the people need more and more farm land. This trip was so enjoyed by the wbole family that they began planning another on the way homê. However, Mr.. Cartwright found that bis firm bad a two year job opening in Nigeria. "A democratic vote was taken and L lost one to six", said Mrs. C. So off the family went to live in La ges, "the armpit of Africa." They found west Africa very differenti cli- mate,' topograpby and peoples from East Africa. But Nigeria is "where the action is" because of its wealtb of natural resources, especially oil. They are poor only in technical know-how and equipment, but many coun- tries are willinjg to help.

Ontario bydro is workîng there - but the power often failed leaving al Cana- dians in Lagos to be shoulder- ed witb blame! The goverament is a miii- tary dictatorsbip and subject to attempts to overtbrow it. The Cartwright children saw one coup which began next door to their scbool. They were rescued by a driver and had a bair raising escape - "an instant lesson in political science - those witb guns win. " The white community don't know what's going on, but when their Ibo servants begîn to drift away, tbey expect trouble. The Ibo's were the losers in Nigeria's recent civil war and feel continually threatened. Those in power live well on the fruits of graft and prosperity, but the mn- jority, especially in the crowd- ed cities, live in poverty witb, littie hope.

Young Ni- gerians usually go abroad after completing high school for higher education. They do have a medical school training doctors with help from devel- oped countries.
