His nine-month prison sentence was cut to three months Friday by Navy Secretary Charles Thomas.

More than 150 tractors will be used in the plowing match. This year only 35 teams of horses will answer the orders of modern plowmen seeking international honors. Wien the plowing match idea bezar more than 43 years ago, the entire business was carried out with horses, Today they use can- ned horsepower. Fach year fewer and fewer entries are received for horse classes in the plowing competition. Plowmen believe that in five years the horse will have disappeared entirely from the mig competitions. However, more than 500 plow- men--and women--will next week grip the steering wheel or reins, whatever the case may be, and skilfully plow the rich Ontario County soil, This will please Heber Down and his neighbors. They will have more than 300 acres of their land plowed by the finest nlowmen in the country The match site has a 200-acre car park for visitors: two elty- sized blocks of eaking houses - or tents; a detachment of Ontario provincial police: a squad the Ontario fire marshal's office; a telephone network; several miles of watermain fed with water hauled in by truck; lots of sawdust the smell of alfalfa be a long time beiois it conses agein Donate Money To Students, Young Liberals Ask Ottawa WINNIPEG (CP)--Young Lib- eral Associations in Ontario, Man- itoba, Alberta and Nova Scotia have called on the federal gov- ernment to glve more assistance to university students.
