Basketball Season Opens
BY JOYCE HAUGH
•Once again we are back in the
basketball season. In an exhibi
tion tilt with the Exeter “Grads”
our girls showed lots of fight
even thought the final score was
26-25 in favoux* of the Grads.
In the absence of the girls coach
Miss Seigner, Mr. Sturgis very
ably coached the team, and his
efforts to produce a winning
team must not be overlooked.
We see that Miss Seigner has
returned and we hope that the
girls will be victorious when
they play Goderich Collegiate in
an exhibition game this w’eek.
This is to be part of a triple
header, as the senior and junior
boys are also playing.
The junior boys will play
their first scheduled game
Mitchell Thursday, January,
We wish them luck.
On Monday, January,15,
two senior teams play host
St. Marys. Don’t miss these
citing games.
Last week, several of
members of the staff were
sent and Mr. Sturgis was
gling time tables in order
no form be left without a super
visor. However, Monday morn
ing found the complete teaching
staff on hand to greet the in
spectors when they made their
annual visit to the school.
That’s all for this week, but
don’t forget the basket - ball
games; come out and help

To the Editor,
Exeter Times-Advocate.
Dear Sir:
Let us save the Riverview
Park for the future City of Exe
ter. For some time now there
has been very little done to de
velop this park. But it has nat
ural advantages that could make
it one of the most ’beautiful
parks in this part of the country.
Ten years ago not much could
be said for the grounds now con
tained by the Exeter Community
Park.

Annual Meeting
Look at it today. Yes, I
little pride -welling up in
breast. Who thought ten
ago that Exeter would be
a town today. Yep! I see some
more pride welling up,
rightly so. Now, who dares to
say that someday Exeter will not■
become a city? Even in our day
we hope that it will become a
big town. If it ever does it will j
depend on us. As a small townr
we must work to that end and
take a great many more pains
to develop and beautify our town
so that it will attract enough
people to make it a city. Our
forefathers did that very thing
so that we c.an enjoy the status
as a town today. We respect
them for it. Will our children
and children’s children have the
same respect for us someday in
the future? We hope so.
The need for a hospital is
much more important than the
need for a park, but is there any
reason why we can’t have both?
We have several offers for a
sight for a hospital at very rea
sonable prices. Surely, then there
is no need to destroy one to
have the other.
We can have the building for
a hospital in the course of
months but it takes twenty-five
years to grow trees that go to
make such a fine park as could
be developed at Riverview. It
would be nice to have trees
around a hospital but that could
wait. You name one hospital that
lias them and I will name six
that have not. At that we could
plant them and they will come
along while we are enjoying the
trees in our parks.
If this is going to be as large
a town as we hope, and can
make it if we will, the sight at
the park is not large enough for
a hospital and there is no room
to make it larger.
With so many homes going up
so close to this sight
children growing up in
“Quiet Please’’ signs
