The Huron Expositor, 1971-08-19, Page 7The Sports Column (By Rob Brady) Let's Stay in High Gear Vath the summer almost over and as the schedules in Various leagues draw to, a close, we have time to reflect on the events of the past couple of years in summer sports programs in Seaforth. It seems to me that folks in town have gone through a renaissance of interest in sporting activities lately. To what this can be attributed Is anybody's guess but things seem to be going pretty smoothly. The Industrial Fastball League, in only its second year is having agreat deal of success. The players are improving and the games are more interesting each time out. The crowds are even growing larger each week as more and more people find that they enjoy watching their friends and neighbours engaging in, what for the most part, have been friendly well-fought contests. The Industrial Schedule has only one more rand to go before the playoffs and I think I am safe in saying that the League will finish with•the standings unchanged.-Mainstreet has already clinched first place and I think the Mechanics will hang•on to second and Teachers third. Turf Club,•with a three point edge on the Firemen should retain fourth with the Firemen in fifth. Genescd, for the second straight season, ends up in the basement. As for the Playoffs, it's anybody's guess but I think there may be some startling changes. The. Ladies Softball, one of the greatest entertainment bargains in Seaforth,has also had a very successful second season. The schedule is over and the standings show Wendy Tremeer's Swingers in first followed by Joan Betties' Slammers, Adeline Mclnally's weepers and Joan Flannigan's Bouncers: . . Playoffs in that league begin next Tuesday. The 'Minor Industrial Ball, in It's fledgling season, is the greatest success story in the history of the Town Recreation Committee. Spearheaded by Don Bode, the league-has provided organized activity for over seventy- five young boys all summer long. The program, which operates like a junior little league, has been long overdue in Seaforth and I think it'd'rover- whelming success is evidence of that. I hope that this renewed interest in leisure time activities doesn't die with summer. There are any number of activities which could be taken up id th4 fall and winter to keep things alive. Several weeks ago I mentioned the possibility of a junior soccer program. To that'I might add flag football, rugger or any other team sport more suited to cooler weather. Now that interest Is rolling and even in high gear, let's not downshift to second, or worse yet, first. Let's just keep going full speed ahead. To paraphrase a favorite saying on university campuses lately. It feels good, let's keep doing it. Columban Loses to Lions Wa,u4, What. Y94. T)04:1 '17peci! S 0E, .

Early writings tell of a ',red" carrot which, in fact, was actually purple. It is also recorded that Elizabethan ladies adorned their hair with the wispy, featherlike leaves of young carrots.
