4 Th Canadian Champion, Wed.,Oct. 261977 êhamnpionl Editûrial Page Passing of an era Tbe passing of Stan May Friday night marked tbe psssing oif an era. For many years 00W Stan bas heen involved in Halton Plowing mat- cbes and otber events tbat are se vital to the farm community. Neitber Stan nor is team of work bornes were at tbe 1977 Halton Plowing Match. As a matter of fact it was tbe first year since 1866 thal tbere were no bornes at tbe match. Tbe istory of tbe plowing match gots hack along way. The firt matcb as beld in Nelson Town- ship in 1966 at the farm of Jacob Cime. t is interesting (o note that the site of the match is at what is 00w knomn as the corner of tbe Queen Elizabeth Highmay and the Walkers Lne. It was probably inconcievable for participants at that match to ever think that the land would sometime be used as one of tht provinces husiet ighways. There were 12 teama tof bornes in (bat firot match in Nelson. Eventuatly tbe Nelson Plowing Match waa expanded (o the Halton match. By 1949 interest bad grown and in thai year (bere were 65 teama Of If me htcomt confustd it migbt because wetre trying (o follow tht adoice me keep hearing from Ott- ama. Tht alternative seema (o be (bat. in tht early stages, me should junt tune oui tht instructions and apply some common nense. Wt'vt heen earing about tht sad state of tht tconomy, tht effects of inflation, tht bad timen on tht stock market and tht unexplainable uotmploymtnt levels for nome ime. Goveroments, as frequently bappens, are prtsned to, solve al thene problema ith their levers of power. But tht traditional remedies havent orktd and mere still watching a declining dollar. So enter tht iatest goveroment suggestions. Wt're told on one hand (o reduce our expectations and iocrtase our productivity. Then ere told (o reduce aving and start ptnding (o get tht monty back into tht economy and create jobs. This tends (o he confusng. 1(5s also bard for anyone touched by tht deprennion, (o nptnd when such depletion of reserves could mnean huogry days if a job ta lost. And mben thte present and future arent being paioted mith tht rosy glom common in most of tht pat 20 yeara. thtetndency is 1 but op There is a lesdency for politîcal bodies ta want (o pass tht bock mhen lbey have an unpopular issue to dea iîh. Mlton Council ta no exception. From time t0 urne counicilors bave attempted (o excuse (is and tht ast counicil from aoy responsibility for th rapid rate of residential gromth in tomn. They mould bave you belitot (bat tht planning and final commitment for al f tht hosing developruents on treamn or about (o tome on streamn is tht doing of previous coonicits mhich sat prior (0 1974 and regional government. t ia lue that prevîous cooncîts provided a major incentivt for gromth and did tht initial planning on tht Victoria Wood developruent which will ring another 5,000 people totown. Frequently councillors bave attempted (o aah their banda 0f any responsiility for tht approval of (bat developmtent. Thoe counillor who are in thefr second terni would do welI (o think htck (o 1974. Ont of Ibeir firt deeds wasa o endorne tht Victoria Wood project. Tht Ontario Municipal Board aent the whole package hack te the new council hecaue th old orne bad approved il on, ias way oeul of bornes entered along with 23 tractor pulled plows. By 1964 tbere were 55 tractor pulled plows and only two teams of horses. This year with the passing of Stan May tbere were no bornes, apparently for the first time in the history of the match. But organizers feel the event is still a popular 0ne. For the farmmng community it serves as a time when the rural folk corne together and tbe sport serves as a tie with the past. Regardless of whether the plow mas powered by a team of bornes or a igh powered tractor the quality of the furrow bas always served as an indication of the kind of farmer a man ia. Some of the large four furrom plowa and tractorn with enclosed cabs, radios and CB radios make plowing a different sort of sport. But tbe annual event continues (o serve as a inding force in a farm commutlity. Stan May will be missed by is family, frienda and tbe many people be came in(0 contact witb tbrougb is extensive involvement in tbe farming organizations and related groupa. some savinga if possible -jusi in case." Even if the dollars saved are worth les n the future (bey mould provide some bock up in an emergency. We're also told (bat some tagg- ering sum wilt be spent in "make- work-projects" and me get edgy again. Every nem program at the government level generates a neta departmeot or bureau and when the onake-mork-projects" are long gone, tht civil service is still larger. In a business (bey might thînk ofit as oogoing overbead and any businessman will tell you (ats what cao kilI you. In govern- ment it tends (o he different. If we might be permitted an opportunity (o try and cut through some of tht confuntd instruction (bat in coming froru Ottawa me might summarize il (is ay: mwe really dont know whats rong and me really dont bave anv solu- ions.,, Common atne sn't stwaya politically palatable and so some- times leaders can't txpound it. But really tht citizens probahly knom as melI as anyone bow (o face tht difficulties at their omo levtl. If (bat common sense can he applied (o our lii e styles, our expectationa, and our objectives me might sur- vive despite tht confusion from Ottawa. offict and tht 0MB manted the oem council (o take a fresh look ai tht proposaI. Tht councîl approved the plans and sent (hem hack untoucbed. Because (bey did, ihey cann ot real- istically ipe their banda of aIl res- ponsihility for rapîd gromth in Mil- ton, if gromth and providing homes for families mas still a popular idea, me monder if the counicillora mould he as tager (o forget about their role in bringiog bousiog (o Miton.
