PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, Feb. 13th, 1974 Report sparks councillor Shaw's anger Plowing Match first The barbs that fly between Mayor Jim Potticary and Ald. Margaret Shaw in Oshawa city council appea- red briefly at Durham Region council on Wednes- day. ' The exchange occurred as council was talking about the world plowing match which comes to Durham in 1975. Hardly a topic that would appear to stir big city ire. Region chairman Walter Basketball tournament Port Perry High School is hosting its annual Junior Invitational Basketball tour- nament on Saturday, Feb. 23. Games commence at 9:00 a.m. and continue through- out the day with the consola- tion final at 6:30 p.m. and the Championship final at 8:00 p.m. Look for an article in next week's paper for details about the tournament. Beath reported that he had named Coun. John Howden (Oshawa), Coun. Lawrence Malcolm (Scugog) and Coun. Garnet Rickard (Newcastle) as council representatives to "liaise and report back . . . from time to time" on the international and world plowing matches. His report had been tacked on the end of the 10th report of the executive committee to save paper, the chairman explained. "l see we have gentlemen farmers," Coun. Shaw began. "You appoin- ted from the executive committee only . ."' It was the first to come before council after council had adopted a recommenda- tion by administrator Wi'l- iam Manning that reports, on presentation, be adopted except for paragraphs which members wished to question. This system was to replace the one whereby every para- House Pee Wee Club Annrene 4 - Frank Real Estate 1. Clark scored twice for Club Annrene with singles going to Freeman and Van Weston.

When Chairman Beath called for those who wished to question any of the four paragraphs, it turned out that some member wished to question every paragraph. So much for the policy. "I move the heading be adopted," said Coun. George Ashe (Pickering). "Is the antiquated system of the grand jury to be stopped now or do we con- tinue with this nonsense?" Coun. Potticary wanted to know. The only mention of the grand jury was continued in a paragraph filing its report. "Why would they scrap it? asked Coun. Ken Lyall (Newcastle). "How else can people behind the eight ball be protected. In the past, the ~grand jury had done a great "deal of good." Coun. Desmond Newman wondered when the execu- tive committee would be bringing in a report on fringe benefits, such as health, accident and pension bene- fits. "Mr. Newman is a mem- ber of the executive commit- tee," said Coun. Polticary. "When a person who is on a committee questions his own committee, then something is lacking. Then the Potticary-Shaw exchange closed off debate and the report 'passed. Mr. Beath explained that Coun. Howden came from Oshawa and Coun. Rickard from a town. All three men are or have been farmers. "If Mrs. Shaw wants to get behind a horse and do a little plowifs . .."" Coun. Potticary began. "That's a facetious re- mark," Coun. Shaw shot back. "There was no ani- mosity in my statement. Mr. Potticary thinks he is at home where he can still bang and tell youto sit down." That concluded debate on the four paragraph execu- tive committee report which had also contained such world shakers as recom- mending that the grand jury report be filed. But the report got rough treatment just the same. Ont. has world's first ton-of-fat Holstein cow Never before has a cow received so much attention as was given Ingholm Rag Apple President, Wednes- day, last week. She is the "World's first ton-of-fat cow" and she is a Holstein, owned by Ingholm Farms, R. R. No. 3, Campbellford. Over 500 people from all over Ontario and the north- ern States came to admire the World Champion Cow, Wednesday last week. Among the many dignitaries were Gerry Nelson, Holstein- Friesian Association Field- man, James A. McCague, President Holstein - Friesian Association of Canada; Gaye Hoskin, president Northum- berland County Holstein - Friesian Club. Greetings were received from the Hon. Eugene F. Whelan, Federal Minister of Agriculture and the Hon. W.A. Stewart, Ontario Minister of Agriculture and Food. The record, which began January 1, 1973, saw Presi- dent complete the full year with 36,594 Ibs. milk averag- ing 5.73 percent butterfat content or 2,098 Ibs. fat. This is the first time any dairy animal in the world has gone over the ton-of-fat mark within 365 days. A luncheon was held for about 75 invited persons at noon, while in the afternoon coffee and Flamingo Pas- tries' tarts were served to the 500 guests in the Ingholm Farms large barn.

PORT PERRY, ONT- - PHONE 985-3042 (2 miles West of Manchester) Machinery major event in Durham Durham region ig" going to host the 1975 International Plowing Match and Farm Demonstration The Canadian and World plowing matches will be held at the same time. The announcement was made at Durham regional council's January 30 meeting by Robert Timbers, a former warden of Ontario county and Ivan Bell, the ag. rep. from Uxbridge. The actual dates chosen are September 23 - 28, 1975. Activities will be centred on the Ramsom, Robson and neighbouring farms. This site was chosen, said Mr. Timbers, because it was felt to be close to essential services such as hydro and water as well as having good roads and easy access to accommodation. The match will be the first major event held in Durham region and is expected to draw several hundred thou- sand visitors and competit- ors from as many as 30 countries. A total of about 800 acres of land will be used for the event with 400 acres being set aside for the various plowing demonstrations. The rest will be used for practise plowing, tented city, parking and other demonstrations. The exhibit of farm machinery which is believed to be the largest and most modern of its kind will have ~ entries by many of the major™ machine manufacturers. - This will be the third time Ontario has been host to the event since it was organized in 1911. &4 The only low-priced chain saw In 1916 it was held on the R. J. Fleming Farm at Picker- ing and in 1956 it was held at the Heber Down Farm in Brooklin. This will also be the third time the World plowing contest has 'been held in Canada. During the next 20 months, local committees along with the Ontario Plowmen's Association will be prepar- ing for the event. Councillors Des Newman and Allan McPhail moved that council give the fullest support possible to the association and although Mr. Timbers couldn't elaborate on what support he would need the motion was passed. Coun. Garnet Rickard then pointed out that a special plowing contest would be held for the mayors of the municipalities involved and said he was looking forward to competing. with Mayors Newman and Potticary on "ground he knew." | Brock councillor = Keith Rynard, who will serve as health and sanitation chair- man on the contest commit- tee, said the impact of 'the event on the region would be . unpredictable Mayor Carl: Puterbough of Uxbridge said it would bring millions of dollars into the region.
