"The Annual Junior Plowing Match and Coaching Day was held last Thursday at the farm of Harold Bell, Gilford. Participating in the day were Marie Thomas, Susan Dawney, Neil Thomas, John Robinson, and Tom Robinson, all turning in a worthy performance in their respective classes. These young people were coached throughout the day by Keith Robinson and Bill Thomas, under head coach Bill Timbers, former world champion plowman. Queen of the Furrow, Susan Gilmore, coached by her father, Earl Gilmore, was also plowing in preparation for future competition. Jack Campbell and Frank Cowan, also members of the South Simcoe Plowmen's Association were on hand to assist with the most successful day."

"The South Simcoe Plowing Match held Friday, September 20 was a complete success even though only two horse teams were entered, all other categories were based on tractor pulled plows. Anthony Featherstone of Milliken is shown here with his prize winning team of greys. He came second in the plowing competition."
