Out here in, central upstate NY, I am in the TOYS (tractors of yesteryears) club. We are truly blessed in this rainbow club. It was started by the late George Bull, and presently Roger and Barbara Karn contribute many hours to its existance. "Judging" is taboo. We have tractor pulling exhibitions, not contests. (Tractors are allowed to pull until they cannot complete a full pull.) Mr Karn is very correct. Tractors are a mechanical beast of burden, built and sold to labor and provide all of us an easier and more abundant life. Some of the exhibited tractors come in their work clothes, a little worn and stained; but none the less, beautiful, for all of their provision. Judgement, is all too often, a very competive and, sometimes, harsh, unwarranted criticizem. In a club, with over two hundred active members, a lot of difficulty has been avoided by the applied wisdom of not allowing unnecessary competition. I, and obviously many others, agree. After all, is the function of the organization fun and fellowship, or is it a contest?
