Through the month of August we will have samples taken each week to be analyzed and will re­ port the results of these tests through the medium of this col­ umn. If we receive a report that is “not” favorable we naturally will report this to the public and discontinue our programs. Minor Baseball There is a possibility that all four entries in the WOAA minor baseball will be in the playoffs. A great deal of credit is due these minor league coaches and managers—fellows who are will­ ing to give their time and energy to impart their knowledge of the game. Exeter is the only town in the WOAA with entries in all four classifications. Now that the coaches, man­ agers and players have shown the drive so necessary to com­ pete in these leagues and get in­ to the playoffs, let us show we are behind them 100 percent. We can do this by taking in these playoff games and adding our support vociferously and financ­ ially. Our minor league umpires have done a wonderful job this year. Fellows like Bill Pollen, Bill Bat­ ten, Dick Taylor, Norm Ferguson and others game. The Rec. schedule is unless Mid-West pull up their socks and their pinch hitters run out all hit balls, both Legion and Maroons will be in there at the finish and Mid-West will be mere spectators. Need Clubroom I don’t believe it is too soon to sound off on future plans and I believe a need has presented itself — a games club or club­ room for children and teenagers, a place to call their own during the fall, winter and spring months where they can play games after school and evenings; a place where our teenagers can sing, dance, read, talk and replay rugby and hockey games over a soft drink, enjoy films, do crafts and have good, clean supervised fun. Any service club or fraternal organization interested? A challenge, a real need!The - - - - Senior group known Ontario A full, one-piece Console—Handrubbed, natural woods ville.

Rebekahs sponsored Citizens Club and has become very in recreation circles in —so well known that I have been asked by the Courier, a recreation publication, to write an article on this group and about its phenomenal growth. Senior citizens will be getting together again in the fall their social evenings and doubt they are drumming some worthwhile projects. House league softball baseball playoffs will be run off the first three weeks in Septem­ ber and floor hockey, broom ball, minor bowling, figure skating, night school, minor hockey, rec hockey and intermediate hockey will be getting under way—and we hope a club room for boys and girls.

Cowlboy And Indian Week A week ago last Friday, the Cowboys and Indians of Exeter held their Big Roundup of the year. During the opening relig­ ious service, Rev. Holley spoke to the children about Moses, the “Big Chief” of the Hebrew people. At 1.30, the cowboys and In­ dians gathered at the Exeter Kin playground to parade to library. Here, the Indians de­ monstrated their tribal war dance. After this everyone joined in a campfire sing-^ong. A wild and wooly “Indian Hunt” took place at Riverview Park. At 6.30 the Cowboys and In­ dians met at Victoria Park to parade to Riverview Park. The parade was led by members of the Exeter Saddle Club. The fire engine and police cruiser added to the colorful procession. At Riverview Park, many interested parents witnessed square dancing, life-saving demonstration and the Indian War Dance. Now, after a day of bitter war­ fare, it was time to speak of peace. The cowboys and Indians gathered at the main campfire. The medicine man, after casting his magic powder into the fire, stated to the “Big Chief’ (Mayor Cochrane) that the Indians would accept the terms of peace. Then came the ceremony of “burying the hatchet’’. The Indian Chief, Princess, Squaw, Sheriff and Sheriffs wife, chosen from the children of the playground, were Bob Armstrong, Shirley Wurm, Rita Anderson, Fred Wells and Darlene Wilson. These lucky people were given horseback rides. out- the the the GOULD & JORY PHONE 16 Successors to Southcott Bros.
