Barrie of Galt, Ont., a past president’of the Ontario Plowmen’s Association and manager of the Cana- dian plowing team at the third annual World Plowing Match in Sweden, has sent home on- he-spot reports of his trip with team members Joe Tran ' Claremont. Ont., and Ivan McLaughlin of Stouffville, Ont. Here is the first of his reports. LIVERPOOL -- We never knew the rail.

Ont; Ivan McLaugh- lin, who also qualified for the trip by finishing second; Mrs. McLaughlin, Mrs. Barrie, and myself, who was lucky enough to be appointed team manager. The first indication was a most enjoyable luncheon given for us by Imperial Oil, which was spon- soring the team‘s trip to the World Plowing Match. The lunch- eon was held in Toronto, and we Hist many friends there, new and o . Next, at Union Station, we met a party of York County Council members and their wives, who were just returning from a Can- adian Good Roads Association convention at Banff. One of my plowmen, Ivan McLaughlin, who is reeve of Whitchurch and a member of the county council, of course knew them all. Many Relatives But the most surprising en- counters we had, came after we were on our way to Montreal. We thought it would be an unevent- ful trip, but Joe Tran seemed to have at least one relative â€"- and usually several â€" waiting at ev- ery stop on the way. We kidded Joe a lot about having so many relatives all over the country, but the boxes of chocolates, cakes and other things they brought as gifts were most acceptable to the rest of us, as well as Joe. At Belleville. Mrs. Barrie and I got a special surprise, for we were greeted by our daughter and son and six of our grand- children. _, We arrived in Montreal and were half way to the dock to catch the Empress of Scotland, when J. D. Thomas, who was making the trip as president of the World Plowing Organization, missed his cane and declared he had left it in the station. We' had one of our taxis turn back, and after I had searched all over the railway station for the 'cane, Mr. Thomas found he had been sitting on it all the time. Tour Ship Suddenly we saw a number of the crew members pointing ex- citedly to a man who was swim- ming in the water beside a boat anchored near by. We were told he had jumped out of a window more than 40 feet above the wa- ter. After swimming around for a while he climbed a rope ladder thrown him by some sailors on the boat. But no soon- er was he on the boat. than he Aboard ship, Ivan, Joe and I left the ladies to handle the un- packing in the cabins and we be- gan a tour of the vessel. dived in again. We figured there must have been some easier way for him to sober up. On returning to our cabin. I was pleased to receive a tele- gram from one of our popular OPA directors, Robert Campbell. wishing our team every success in Sweden.‘ The first day on the Empress was quite an event for the whole party because, with the excep- tion of J. D. Thomas, none of us had been on an ocean liner be- fore. Narrow Squeak The weather was pleasantly warm, and the coloring of the maples on the river banks was marvellous. As the ship steamed under the bridge at Quebec. the crowd on the top deck held its breath because it looked as if the mast and funnels would be swept off. But we sailed through all right. with what looked to be only a foot or two clearance to spare. On the second day we awoke to find the waves splashing high ov- er the decks and the passengers walking around like drunken sailors. The water in the ship’s swimming pool splashed over the sides and sometimes even spat- tered the ceiling. We decided to postpone our early morning dip. although one bathing beauty seemed to be enjoying herself in rough water. Many passengers turned up for breakfast but left in a hurry for by WILL C. BARRIE, Maw-v 1955 CANADIAN PLOWING TEAM Ivan McLaughlin Joe Tran CANKDIAN PLOWMEN ABROAD The third and fourth days out were even worse, and we figured hurricane Ione must be follow- ing us across the ocean. Special Treat Later that evening, the captain gave a party which, I'm sorry to say, ended with a minor disaster. Just when the party got into full swing, the ship lurcred violent- ly to the port side, and the 25 couples who were dancing at the time lost their balance and slid to one side of the room. When order was restored, a lady from New Zealand was found to be unconscious. and several other people were badly shaken up and bruised. It was not until the fifth day that we were back to normal and able to take our meals. By this time most of the officers and first class passengers knew the pur- pose of our trip, and at dinner that evening, we were served Baked Alaska, a special ice cream treat not shared by the other pas- sengers. . The following day. a Sunday, we attended shipboard church services and saw a movie that night. ‘ Sleeping Warrior Jhe trip up the Clyde the next day was by far the most pleasant part of the ocean journey. Such places as Ailsa Craig or Paddy's Peak â€"- that mountain of solid granite which is the source of curling stones used throughout the world â€" came to view "on the south bank of the Clyde. The Sleeping Warrior. a row of hills resembling an armoured warrior lying on the ground, made a splendid background for some pictures we took on deck. At Greenock we saw a number of foreign freighters anchored in midstream and Mrs. Barrie and I remembered that it was from south of there â€" in Ayrshire â€" that our ancestors had come to Canada 125 years before. Our ancestors, of course, made the trip in a sailing vessel, and I’m told it took them six weeks. during which they suffered all sorts of privations and discom- forts. And there we were, after making the same journey â€" but in the opposite direction â€" in one week, with all the comforts of a modern hotel â€"- even if the "hotel" did heave and rock con- siderably at times. Soon we were preparing to dis- embark at Liverpool, to begin the third leg of the journey, to London. Needless to say, both Joe and Ivan were pleased at the prospect of getting their feet on- to solid, ground again.
