Paul Henderson scored the winning goal for Canada with 34 seconds remaining in the final of the Summit Series against Russia in September 1972. The IPM was in progress at Sebringville, Perth Cty.at the farm of Oliver Zehr (Sept 26-30). A plowman was motoring along in competition while listening to the game on his radio. When Paul scored that goal, the plowman jumped onto the hood of his tractor and danced, letting the machine go helter-skelter across the field.
Harold
Masson replaced Lorne Fleming as 2nd Vice Pres. of Oxford plowmen's, the only
change in officers for that year. Bill Weatherston and Ross Hargreaves were new
directors. President Weldon Burrill, Ron Hutcheson, and Ed Eddy went to County
Council to request a grant. The 1972 Oxford
match was held at Ed Eddy’s farm on Saturday Oct. 14. Classes for business men
and County&Township officials were held; their prize money being $5 for
first, second, third and fourth places. The event was becoming a fun day for
township officials and set a precedent for the following year.
There is no record of a Blenheim match in ‘72, but it was
recorded in Oxford's
minutes that a rebate was made to the Blenheim Association for the grant
received by the IPM re: local day competition.
