persons who attended this event
last year will certainly not need
any urging to 'get out to enjoy
the two shows on August 23

imagine that the absentees have
heard enough about it so they
won't want to miss the gala
event . . . The 70-member Kit-

men will highlight the Saturday
festivities and the top bands
of all descriptions from West-
ern Ontario will be along as
well . . . Bet the people in
Orillia wish they had something
similar to that going for them!

Council Criticized For Bad Example•
In Town's Perennial Weed. Problem
The First Column .
Battling in a best-of-seven
series fer the WOAA "A" soft-
ball honours, Clinton and Sea-
forth intermediates, split their
first two games to knot the set
at one each.
Playing on their home dia-
mond on. Thursday, the locals
pounded Out a convincing 12-4
win, but back in Seaforth on
Saturday they gave up six runs
in the last three frames to ,get
nipped 10-9.
In the opener, Monty Monto-
mura gave up only six hits to
the visitors in posting the win,
while his mates pounded out
nine safeties to record the win.
Seaforth opened the game
with a single in the first when
Bob I3euttenmiller toured the
sacks after leading off with a
single, but Clinton came right
back with four of their own in
the bottom of the frame to take
a lead they never relinguished.
A walk, two Seaforth errors
and a single off the bat of Bob
Welsh provided the four tal-
lies.
Clinton added another in the
second when Len Fawcett tour-
ed the sacks on ,a booming
clout.
The visitors whittled the lead
to 5-3 in the fourth on singles
by Rowcliffe, Rochon and Vint,
but Clinton scored a single in
the same frame when Ron Mc-
Kay circled the paths after be-
ing given a free pass by Vint.
Whitelaw and Henderson hit
consecutive singles in the fifth-
to pull Seaforth back in the
game, but Clinton blew the tilt

wide open, with six big t
a
llies
in the Seventh to wrap up the
verdict.
Ron McKay and Bob Liver-
more pounded out homers to
lead the- attack, while Moto-
mura hit a booming triple and
Bob Mann, Bob Welsh and Bob
McDonald contributed singles.
In the return engagement in
Seaforth,,the locals built up an
13.-3 lead in the first three inn-
ings, but watched the hosts
bounce back to take the tilt
by the single run.
Bill Craig and Bob McDonald
opened the scoring with a pair
of tallies, for the locals in the
first inning when Craig walked,
McDonald singled and Bob
Welsh pounded out a long
double.
They' added another in the
second when Doug IVIeDougall
and Len Fawcett hit back-to-
back triples, but Seaforth knot-
ed the count on a triple by
Scoins, singles off the bats of
Smith and Vint and two Clin-
ton errors,
However, Clinton again took
control of the game in the third
when they turned two hits into
five big- runs, being aided by
three walks and a hit batsman.
Craig and McDonald supplied
the two safeties.
Seaforth tallied one in the
bottom of the third on singles
by Whitelaw and Slaghts and
they pulled to within one run
in the sixth, scoring three tim-
es on only one hit.
Coming to bat in the eighth
frame, Seaforth unloaded their
power with consecutive triples
off the bats of Bob Beutten-
miller, C. Petrie and R. White-
law with a single recorded by
Slaghts for four runs and a
10-8 lead.
Clinton threatened in the
ninth when with two out, Matt
Edgar was given a free pass
and came home on a single by
'Doug McDougall.
However, McDougall, repre-
senting the tying run, was
stranded when Fawcett was
called out on strikes.
Slaghts picked up the win
after relieving Vints in the sec-
ond frame. The hurler posted
14 strikeouts in his seven-inning
stint.
Motomura wiffed seven Sea-
forth batters in going the dis-
tance for Clinton.
The remaining home games
for Clinton will be played under
the lights at the RCAF Clin-
ton •park and the third game
will be played in Seaforth to-
night (Thursday)

"Why point your finger at
me?", Agnew retorted"' adding
that "we are giving the people
more than other towns."
There was no further discus-
sion on the weed subject, and
no action was taken.
Animal Problems
Although councillor Allan El-
liot, chairman of the by-laws
committee, was absent, council
learned that Huron County
health officials had still not
prepared a by-law in regards
to raising animals within town
limits.
The by-law had been request-
ed following complaints of a
piggery in "Little England".
However, Huron health officials
had no controlling by-law and
decided to draft one to cover
all, municipalities in the county.
Clerk John Livermore ex-
plained the delay was partially
caused by the fact the by-law
had to be "very carefully word-
ed".
During the discussion, coun-
cillor Thompson reported she
had received complaints about
a retired farmer bringing geese
into town in the William Street
area.
Mayor' Miller questioned if
the geese had been waking
people up in the morning.
"Not in particular," she re-
plied.
With the by-law pending, no
action was taken in regard to
the situation.
Cruiser Damaged
During the police report by
Mayor Miller, he reported to
council that the police cruiser
had been damaged when a
"runaway" car rolled into it,
crumpling one fender.
He said the accident took
place about six weeks ago and
the claim had been turned over
to the insurance company, but
as yet no word had been receiv-
ed regarding the incident.
The police report also show-
ed that the three-man force
had conducted 25 investigations
during the month, issued six
warnings under the Highway
Traffic Act, found three busi-
nesses unlocked during routine
checks, investigated five acci-
dents in which damage had
been under $100, had received
seven convictions in cases
brought to court and these had
resulted 'in fines amounting to
$80.
Two bicycles had been 're-
ported stolen and' had been re-
covered. Three other thefts had
also been investigated.
The report stated that there
were 55 trailers in use at Frank
Becker's trailer park, while an-
other three were empty. 0
Kin Peewees
Lead Goderich
Clinton peewees took a one
game lead in their best-of-three
group semi-finals with Gode-
rich, Monday, pounding out a
14-5 win on their own diamond.
Cam Colquhoun. limited the
visitors, to only four hits in go-
ing the distance for the win.
Second game was played in
Goderich last ,night (Wednes-
day) and a flip of the coin
will decide the site of the third
game if it is necessary.
The winner will advance to
meet the winner of the Exeter-
St. Marys series for the right
to advance into WOAA play.
Northern Team
Reaches Final
Of Softball Loop
Londesboro racked up three
straight wins over Varna in one
round of the Central. Huron
Softball loop semi-finals and
will now await the winners of
the Holmesville-Auburn series
to decide the group title.
Holmesville is leading the
other best-of-five semi-final set
by a 2-1 margin in the three
games played.

lines, but you can take it from
an eye-witness that if anything,
the account was even less sor-
did than what We witnessed.,
THE TRIP along the main
,street of Orillia was indeed an
education (suppose that makes
us a student?) and while it
may make us feel old, we did
actually question what the
younger generation is really
coming to . . . The notorious
Toronto motorcycle gangs with
their black jackets, dangling
ear rings (yes, they were mal-
es), and their greasy hair-does,
along with their youthful look-
ing female companions were
quite prevalent . . . But even
they didn't look too much out
of place among the beards of
various hues; the girls with
their sickly-coloured eyes - and
long,r Stringy hair; the boistrous
and drink-ignorant high school
and college youths . , . It was
quite evident that few had come
to enjoy any of the music and
were doing little else but us-
ing it for an excuse to "go
wild" for a weekend . . . And
they did go wild too, creating
havoc for the many extra police
called in to aid the Orillia crew
and the friendly residents of
the Lake Simcoe community
are still picking up the broken
beer bottles, counting the cost
of the damages to their pro-
perty and audibly ivowing,
"never again" . . . And we
certainly don't blame them.
THE SHOW itself was a
huge disappointment to this
folk-song loving writer. We had
expected to hear some of the
top musicians in the business
for our $3.00 admission ticket,
but soon learned that it would
have been more to the point if
we had spent another few dol-
lars to purchase a foreign lan-
guage dictionary . . . At least
half of the three-hour show was
sung in some "strange" lan-
guage, and if you don't think
that can get boring, you're bad-
ly mistaken . . . , One young
performer was heralded as be-
ing able to sing in nine dif-
ferent languages, and while we
certainly envy her • ability, we
weren't too overwhelmed when
she set out to prove that her
billings were exactly true . . So,
if the people of Orillia have a
change of heart and decide to
have another "bash" next year,
we can advise our readers that
it isn't really worth the trip
for themselves, and for limy-,
ens sake, don't let your teen-
age daughter go.
ON THE LOCAL entertain-
ment scene, which we KNOW
will be an appropriate spot for
persons of all ages, the Clinton
Lions will be staging their an-

In First Tilt
Of Playoff Set
Clinton's entry in the WOAA
Ladies Softball loop took a one
game lead in the northern semi-
final set with Blyth, posting a
convincing 16-6 win on their
home diamond, Monday.
Winnie Bell provided the
needed power for the victory,
clubbing a pair of homers off
losing hurler, Vicki Fowler.
Barbara Semple went the dis-
tance for the winners and was
never in serious trouble as she
was given a big cushion by her
mates.
Judy Watkins worked behind
the plate for Clinton, while
Beth Thompson handled the
chores for Blyth.
Second game of the set was
played in Blyth last night
(Wednesday) and if the third
game is needed it will be play-
